Courses Help choosing modules for electrical engineer - electronics degree

[bigmike94]

TL;DR Summary: Which path would be best. Physics or mechanical for electrical engineering.

My uni doesn’t offer electrical engineering but offers electronics engineering.

Looking for advice from anyone in industry or similar.

I’m on an open STEM degree and I’m following the electronics route, upon graduating I want to be an electronics or electrical engineer (I am self studying extra electrical topics).

But in stages 2 and 3 I have a couple of “spare” credits I need to use.

For my desired career path would it be more suitable to choose

A)
stage 1:

• Engineering core A (has some electricity topics)

• Engineering core B (this module has nothing to do with electricity)

• Electronics 1

• Mechanical engineering heat and flow

Stage 2:

• Electronics 2

• Nanoscale engineering

• Mechanical computer aided engineering

• Communications technology

OR

B )

Stage 1:

• Engineering core a

• Physics: classical to quantum (has electricity topics and I’m already familiar with the topics taught) (60 credits)

• Electronics 1

Stage 2:

• Electronics 2

• Nanoscale Engineering

• Electromagnetism (physics module)

• Communication technology
To confuse things more. I could also follow a different path that cuts out the mechanical modules and replaces them with software engineering modules.

I’ll sum it up and make it a bit more digestible;

Electronics & Mechanical

Electronics & Physics

Electronics & Software

What kind of work do you want to do in EE? What specialties interest you?

My extra classes were in Physics and CS; I don't think any ME classes would have helped me in my EE career. But if you're into robotics and electromechanical systems, the ME classes would help that.

anything electrical to be honest, the subject is fascinating, but ideally electronic products or electrical machines etc. I just want to improve my employability and not just have to stick to applying for electronic roles, even though that would be the preferred career path, I’d like to apply for a broad range of electrical engineering roles.

There’s EE graduate jobs in my area that mention electronics degrees are welcome but I’d still like to better prepare myself
