Hi I'm new here
basically thinking about getting a degree in EE, and the school that I'm interested has electronic engineering instead. Just wondering if I do the electronic engineering bachelor, you think I can still apply for MS in electrical if I don't have background in like power and machine. And as for job, what are options wouuld I have
Here's the link of the program curriculum
