SUMMARY

The proposed schedule for the upcoming fall semester includes five courses: Circuit Analysis II, Introduction to Digital Systems, Electromagnetic Fields and Applications, Modern Computational Methods (numerical methods with MATLAB), and Electronic Circuits I. The discussion highlights concerns regarding the difficulty of Electromagnetic Fields and the overall workload, especially as it is the first real Electrical Engineering (EE) semester. The participant is also considering adding a Discrete Math class, specifically the Computational Structures course, but faces restrictions on course load due to college policies.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Electrical Engineering fundamentals
  • Familiarity with MATLAB for numerical methods
  • Knowledge of Circuit Analysis principles
  • Basic concepts in Discrete Mathematics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the workload and lab requirements for Introduction to Digital Systems and Electronic Circuits I
  • Explore strategies for managing a heavy course load in Electrical Engineering
  • Investigate the content and prerequisites of the Computational Structures course
  • Learn about effective study techniques for mastering Electromagnetic Fields
USEFUL FOR

Electrical Engineering students, academic advisors, and anyone planning a rigorous course schedule in engineering disciplines.

I know these kind of topics suck but I'd like some opinions on the schedule I'm planning next fall. I heard EM was hard and I was curious to see if that plus all the rest was a lot to handle. Especially as my first real EE semester

Circuit analysis II
Introduction to Digital Systems
Electromagnetic Fields and applications
Modern Comp Methods (numerical methods w/ matlab)
Electronic Circuits I

Also wondering if it was worth it to take a Discrete Math class (The CS flavored one we call Computational Structures).
 
Physics news on Phys.org
My college doesn't allow more than 5 (about 17 credits max) courses without permission. If it's your first semester you can't prove your capable of the override.

I personally would stick with 5. Unless I misunderstood and 1 of those courses is one credit. Then you might be fine with 6.
 
Its 17credits and the max is 20. Its my first real semester of EE but not my first semester of college. In fact I'm taking 17cr now with no problem (well I quit my job for it), I just don't know anything about the difficulty of these classes or how long the labs take (for Digital and Circuits).

Thanks for the reply though, I actually forgot I made this topic..

Just to clarify I'm currently doing..
Calc Physics II
Calc III
Differential Equations
Statics
Intro to Engineering (bs class)
