In summary, a friend is having difficulty in their Electrical Engineering major and is looking to switch to a different field. They have completed some courses but are struggling with the difficulty of the material. More information is needed to provide specific advice, but it may be helpful to consider a different specialization within EE rather than switching to a completely different field.

You have to provide more info than that. Why exactly is he/she switching out of EE? That way, others here may advise on which other fields of study to avoid.

he says it's to hard for him, he can't handle it any more.
courses are to difficult for him.

he just completed some of the 3rd year courses.
he completed some courses from the 5th semester and some from the 6th semester but there are still some outstanding courses from both semesters.
thank you.

You're still not providing sufficient information. Couldn't you get him to post here directly? Why are you posting on his behalf? I had a friend who initially chose to specialise in electromagnetics, but found it too difficult so she switched to controls. She eventually graduated with a EE bachelor's. So perhaps your friend is having some problems with his EE specialisation courses rather than with EE itself. Unless we know more I don't see how anyone could help. We don't even know his background or interests to begin with.
