First year engineers have a lot less responsibility than first year teachers.

Brains or not, Engineering is a brutal program based on workload alone. First year in particular weeds out a lot of students. I heard that UofA has a target of 50% attrition in first year (second hand info from a student). And actually many engineers are geniuses and many have suspect social skills, with a pretty large overlap.
