Which discipline requires the least programming if any at all? Im asking because I've taken computer science in highschool, and we used Python. It was a cool course, but I found out making code isn't what I want to do. Does engineering require a lot of programming?

Unless you are in computer engineering you won't do a lot of programming at all. I was in mechanical and took one programming course the whole time. Somehow I ended up in a graduate degree that requires a lot of it, but that's another story.

Maybe management engineering or possibly chemical engineering. If you don't hate on it I would say open up your minds and try more out because knowing how to program can be a great asset in engineering.  UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOOELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERINGMy blog

^ This is so true. Many of the research projects I've done have required at minimum some Matlab programming. You can get away with not doing it, but you can get things done so much more efficiently with it.

I just wanna emphasize that programming is a GREAT asset for engineers. I'm in a team where we do uav's and we just use open source (mostly b/c it's cheaper and easier for us). But if we need to change the program up a little bit to suit our needs, it's pretty frustrating.

I'm in Management Eng and I've got to say there's quite a bit of programming compared to Chemical, Nano and Mechanical engineering (from what I've seen at least, I know Nano does some MatLab first year, Chemical does some C++ second year and Mechanical also does C++ second year). A lot of my classmates got programming jobs (C#, C++, Java, Python, etc.) but there were also a few that had programming experience prior to University. We take a general programming course in 1B doing C# coding, computational algorithms in 2A, database systems in 2B, a software eng course in 3B, and many will choose to place their electives with programming courses. Programming is pretty essential for us to perform simulations and planning but it's not to say we do a lot compared to computer, electrical or software.
