AI Thread Summary
A discussion is underway regarding a person considering a major switch from Electrical Engineering (EE) due to difficulties with the coursework. The individual has completed some third-year courses but is struggling with the complexity of the material. Participants emphasize the need for more information about the reasons for the switch, suggesting that the challenges may stem from specific specializations within EE rather than the field as a whole. Suggestions for potential alternative fields include biology leading to medicine, but the consensus is that understanding the individual's background and interests is crucial for providing tailored advice. The conversation highlights the importance of identifying specific challenges faced in EE to better guide the transition to a new major.

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.
 


biology--> medicine?
 

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need help!'

Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
