Interesting to learn - as I said in Germany Electrical Engineering at a university is seen as equal with study of physics and has a much more theoretical approach than Mechanical Engineering. The minimum study takes 8 semesters (4 years), but the most end their studies after 5 years and more.
Yeah, it's probably just a regional thing on what's required for the studies, since in this area Chemical Engineering's the one that requires more credits than any other major, and is also more common for people to take 5 or more years than 4 years (it's pretty much a combination Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, General Engineering, and Business degree in one). Though Nuclear Engineering is still regarded as the hardest of them all.
