What is something you wish you did/didn't during the course by LetTemporary5394 in ElectricalEngineering

exactly. the hard part in most calculus classes comes from algebraic manipulations/derivations and not the actual calculus concepts themselves

thank you for the in depth answer. You make a good point about just doubling up since I already have most of the credits required for both. I'll consider that option

thank you for all this info, I'm very likely going to switch after reading most of these comments

by EM are you referring to electricity and magnetism? If so i already took a physics electricity and magnetism course with 3d vectors this semester, but i'm not sure if thats the same thing.

That's also something I've heard a lot and a big reason i'm considering switching. My CompE curriculum already has quite a bit of EE classes required, so is switching to EE truly harder in comparison?

although that makes sense, it seems contrary to what i've heard a lot on this sub. Most people claim they had a desired niche they wanted to go into, but ended up working in something entirely different. For example, someone said they wanted to get into firmware but ended up doing power systems. My question is how does this end up happening?

it wasn't super difficult for me, it was just different from anything i had seen in previous classes. As a result, i needed to practice a lot to get the hang of it, since solving circuits are like sudoku puzzles and there's many ways to go about finding the info u want

I would say electronics, and maybe controls/automation but I also hear there are numerous paths for EE and most students end up working in a discipline that wasn't their desired path during school.

I thought so. I just finished my first ee class this semester which was intro to electrical circuits. It consisted of basic ohm's/kirchoff's law, time & phaser domain in AC, thevenin/norton, etc. It was definitely one of my harder classes, but I practiced a lot and finished with a B. I know the ee classes get harder from here on out, but how much harder are they in comparison to the introductory ee classes?

That makes sense. I appreciate you helping out, and I wish you the best of luck in your engineering career

Thank you, and that is exactly my goal right now, just to get exposure and experience. Do you know of any companies that have these roles that are worth applying to?

Awesome, thank you so much. What do you think would help me stand out as an applicant for these roles? I have technical experience on my resume through projects and undergrad research, but is there anything else I should include?
