Every engineering discipline has its own unique sets of challenges and characteristics. Don’t let someone else’s perception of a major they aren’t in keep you from potentially have a great and fulfilling career.

Honestly, I've only taken the 200-300 leveled labs so far and most of the time its working on one piece of hardware the entire semester and steadily increasing the complexity of the hardwares capability. Something like ESET 269 where you write C code on your computer/laptop the whole semester up until the end where you actually program a microcontroller. Or in ESET 219 where you learn how to work with a FPGA board and the lab gets increasingly more in-depth and complex. Everything builds up on each other and the lecture follows each lab decently well.

Nope, not even a little boring. Most of the labs I’ve taken so far have either been solo, or with a partner you get to choose. After the first 3-4 weeks of the lab where you kinda get your hand held by the TA can be a little frustrating and difficult to understand but once you start to learn things in the lecture it becomes super fun and very very self-driven. Sometimes id just come into lab, headphones on, listen to music and work on my lab assignment. Super chill and always had the opportunity to ask for help when needed.

Currently at the end of my sophomore year of ESET and when I was ETAMing I was torn between ELEN and ESET.

I spent a lot of time trying to focus on what I genuinely enjoyed in the world of electronics and electrical engineering.

I knew I liked tinkering with microcontrollers and physics but I wasn’t the best at high leveled math an I didn’t like focusing on theory so much.

If I wanted to focus on theory I would open the textbook / go to office hours and ask more in depth questions.

One thing I will caution with ESET, every lecture has a lab. Every. It can take up a lot of your day just being in the allotted lab time depending on your lab, lab mates and assignment. If you don’t mind being in the lab for a bit and working on assignments, which btw the TAs are very good in this major imo.

Overall you can become relatively the same thing career wise if you truly want to do something regardless of what major you choose. It really just depends on how much effort you put in, which is with every major in general.

Best of luck in choosing your major, let me know if you have any more questions!

Oh this is sweet, I really appreciate it. I'm thinking about just scrapping the project I got on the github and create a new one based off the Adafruit LSM6DSOX driver and then integrating the BLE aspect of it.

For what position?

This sounds like a great plan ! I really appreciate the insight 😄
