Typically an undergrad engineering is also 4 years or 8 semesters and have same number of credit requirements, like any other majors.
Like any other student many graduate in 4 years some take a bit more and some do it a little less.
Some people take more time because of the financial situation, or changing majors midstream or other personal issues.
Some take less time because they take summer classes and meet the credit requirements or bring AP credits from high school and graduate early.

Normal time line is 4 years or 8 semesters with average course work load. You graduate when you meet all the credit requirements/course requirements.

Of course you can pursue graduate degree which could typically take 3 or 4 semesters.

I am an electronics and communication engineer, with a graduate degree. I did take 5 years for my undergrad and 2 years for graduate degree.
Hope this helped answer your question.

I am not an engineer but I have a couple friends who are. Both of them did just the regular 4 years at college (although of course you can make more money if you go on and get your Masters degree or beyond). It's one of the harder paths you can take while you're in college, but the payoff is pretty great. Society will *always* need engineers, they are one of those core professions, and there's lots of different types of engineering to choose from, too.

My advice: if you want to do it, go for it, and don't let the hard work in school stop you. It's temporary suffering with a huge reward at the end. One of my engineer buddies barely made it out of college, slipped past with a few D's in his final semester... but now he has a great career and great, reliable income for the rest of his life. Suffer for 4+ years, whatever it takes, and then for the rest of your life you'll be an asset wherever you go.
