How long does it take to study software engineering?
I think you could easily spend 40–80 hours a week depending on your courses, understanding, prior experience, life events, major projects, etc. College is a non-trivial amount of work, and you will likely need all your time in order to do your best. Also if you are going for double major or double degree.
How many hours a week do engineering students actually study?
Keep in mind that engineering students typically grossly overestimate the amount of time they study. They also count hanging out in the library talking with their friends as studying. A lot of people claimed to spend more hours studying than I did but I got the results. 20 – 25 hours a week should be plenty if you remain focused.
How many hours a week should I study for Computer Science?
As a general rule, I like to recommend my students to study for about 2 hours for each of the credit hours of the Computer Science course you are taking. For instance, if the class is 3 credit hours then study 2 * 3 = 6 hours you should study per week. Note, these are hours you spend outside of going to class.
How many hours a day should you study?
So, the real question is: how many hours per day should we study? The consensus among universities is that for every hour spent in class, students should spend approximately 2-3 hours studying. So, for example, if your course is three hours long two days per week, you should be studying 12-18 hours for that class per week.
What is it like to work as an engineering student?
Tons of work, an incredibly exciting and fascinating project, working 60 hours a week for $1500 a month. Not knowing if your project was even going to work… then the ecstasy when it finally DID! It was amazing and terrible. Asking engineering students how many hours they study per week is like asking men how many women they’ve slept with.
