The College of Engineering offers rigorous majors for those crazy enough to major in this wonderful crap. Expect a courseload of about 180 units for any engineering major (compared to half, or even less than half, required for some liberal arts majors). Hence, some people would consider any student pursuing an engineering major to be destined for at least 4 years of hell with little to no social life outside of geeky classmates. (See engineering students). Of course, if they're willing to dedicate 4+ years of their lives to it, it can't be all that bad. Besides, the result of attaining an engineering degree can often lead to a nice, high paying job :)
UC Davis has twelve
ABET accredited engineering programs, more than any other UC campus. A bachelor engineering degree from an ABET accredited program is necessary to sit for the
EIT exam in the state of California, a prerequisite for a professional engineering license. Some programs aren't ABET accredited just yet, but that's probably being worked on.

Interesting Fact: The CoE became independent from Berkeley in 1962.
