Electrical or Computer Engineering

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the choice between electrical engineering (EE) and computer engineering (CpRE) based on personal interests and experiences. The individual expresses a strong interest in circuitry and energy systems, particularly solar panel development, while lacking experience in programming and computer work. Participants suggest that electrical engineering aligns better with these interests, noting the overlap in core curricula between EE and CpRE. The consensus leans towards recommending electrical engineering as the more suitable path for someone with a passion for circuitry and energy systems.

Greetings.

I know what both electrical and computer engineering entail as majors.

I just wanted to get some feelers on what some people think would fit me best.

I've always been really interested in circuitry and taking apart small devices. I don't really have any experience working on computers or doing programming, so I'm not entirely sure on how I feel about those subjects.

The network/information security field seems pretty interesting, but I am far more interested in learning about different energy systems. Solar panel development is one field of particular interest to me.

Which one (EE or CpRE) seems to align more with my interest??

It would seem like electrical engineering suits you best. There is often a lot of overlap at least in the core curricula between EE and CE.
 
Sounds like EE is the one for you.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
