Is Electrical Engineering More Engaging Than Software Development?

AI Thread Summary
Building software can be frustrating and monotonous, especially when it feels abstract and disconnected from tangible outcomes. In contrast, electrical engineering (EE) offers the appeal of creating physical objects, such as robots, which can be more engaging than programming projects focused on databases. However, EE still involves programming, and effective communication skills are essential for documenting and defending designs. For those seeking a more hands-on experience, mechanical engineering may also be worth considering.

i hate hate hate hate
building programs
although if its for a hoby its ok
but to sit day and night and to work on a software
that doent even egsist
i will spend my life looking in a screen

on the other hand i like EE because its building something phisical
some robots and stuff
but is it will be the same as building a boring project on databases on C++

or EE is more interesting then software design
i want to know why to learn EE

I'm afraid your question was incomprehensible.

While I can't answer that, I can recommend that you take some English classes. Engineers spend a lot more time writing and speaking than one might imagine. It's not enough to design something; you need to document and defend it as well.
 
programming is involved in EE, but it's not all programming. If you want something more physical, maybe you'd like mechanical
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
