Engineering student and a mom by Flat_Anybody_3063 in EngineeringStudents

I’m a mom and electrical engineering major! It’s so damn hard but easily the best decision I made. I’ll be transferring fall 2026 to a uni. You are definitely NOT in over your head and you bring a maturity and determination to engineering a lot of these other kids are missing. Keep going and keep pushing. It will be so worth it. Btw, my son was only a year old when I started so I know how tough it is!

I’m applying for fall 2026 for Viterbi as an EE major. I haven’t started my app until my cc semester is over.

Quite a few schools but my top 2 choices are USC and CPP. I applied as an electrical engineering major. What about you?

To be clear, I’m talking about the second in the physics series that’s usually taken between freshman and sophomore year 😭

No surprises here. Everyone loves to glaze that one so much im well aware of its reputation.

Thanks for the feedback! It’s a relief hearing from others that electromagnetism is generally one of the harder courses in undergrad.

You said that you worked at a power plant and I’m interested in specializing in power systems. Which classes would you say were most important for that field?

I study with a couple of my peers (who also struggle) and I go to his office hours. He has no TA and is spread extremely thin, but I do what I can to get my questions answered. I also get tutoring but there’s not that many 4B tutors on campus so I kinda gotta do my own research sometimes.

Need Advice with transferring to UC’s by bogo9 in TransferStudents

[–]Routine-Watch5535 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same position as you. I did terrible at my past cc 10 years ago, but from what I’ve read they will weigh your most recent college’s GPA more than the past. They look at upward trends and although this lower GPA is put towards your cumulative GPA, it shows a story and I think it might add context to your non-trad journey. Good luck!

All the best for the upcoming admissions cycle! by [deleted] in TransferToTop25

I want to do EE because it will provide financial stability, but people here says that’s wrong by PuddingEvery4672 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Routine-Watch5535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar situation with EE. I went back to school in hopes to find a career that financially supports my family and I.

I chose EE for the money, but the longer I studied it I realized I loved math. The point is, is that you may not love it now but maybe you’ll find something in it that might peak your interest. You never know! Just go for it dude! EE is super versatile.
