Personally, the hardest classes I had as an electrical engineering depended on the professor and the effort I put into it. Obviously some classes are harder than others but I simply put more time and effort into the class and it made the Class easier.

@Alex you est st school, since good for you, I usually eat 250g of rice in the morning which last 8.5hours, giving me at least 1.5 hours to work on my self studying/polymath journey.
DUDE! I’m a computer engineering major and I HATED my class with Assembly. Assembly is the most primitive language there is and I’m glad to see someone else struggled with. This makes me feel better that this is one of the harder classes.
Looking at your course flowchart and descriptions it seems like you graduated from Cal Poly SLO, this is my final quarter in Software Engineering and sometimes I wonder how I got through all of my coursework! Props!!!
I actually did very well in those courses when I took them for my BSEE probably because: 1. I did NOT attend your university and I earned my degree almost 19 years ago. This means my university and its professors could be "easier" or "harder." Too many variables for me to approach in those regards. 2. I actually was experimenting with electricity and electronics when many later tube based and early solid-state electronic kits were easily found from a wide variety of sources. I was spending time with some "mainframe" computers (DEC PDP-8 and PDP-11) as well as assembly programming with early Z80 and 8080 CPU's. 3. I earned several "technical associate degrees" before taking on the BSEE. Those technical degrees were "Electronics Tech" and "Computer Information Systems." Only a couple of ET courses and only a few of the CIS were transferrable into the BSEE, but what I learned was retained in my mind. Now, I've completed an MSEE and earned my PE licensure. Looking back, I believe those courses were easy because of the previous knowledge and experience gained as described above.
You know it would be cool to see the courses you enjoyed the most and maybe some series on what courses are really career-helpful and/or enjoyable for different majors
Totally agree with the Assembly and Computer Architecture course! MIPS is the devil. I'm 1st semester junior myself for EE after working radars and power conversion in the Navy for 6 years.
as an electrical engineer the most course i struggled with is "physics 101" and "digital circuits design" and "electromangantics 102" :) it's so wierd ro include physics 101 there but i did put a work to that class more than any course before, like IDK how people were getting an easy A in it while i was just knocking my head, i did get an A at the last but it was SO fu***** hard
I guess the good thing is that you can basically find what is your strong suit in an engineering discipline. For EE for example that might be High Voltage Power Systems, Analog/Digital Signal Processing, or Embedded Systems. Key thing is to play to your strengths and use that to your advantage. Undergrad is good in that you get broad knowledge of the field. Whereas masters from my understanding is where you specialize in a concentration area deeply.
Haha, I got my undergraduate in chemical engineering and graduated degrees in mechanical and aerospace engineering. I taught myself assembly language and loved it. My least favorite course in chemical engineering was feedback control. My graduate degree in mechanical engineering focussed on feedback control. A teacher can make a class your most or least favorite.
Zach, I wish you could make a personalized schedule for me now that a new semester has started. You had such control of your classes and your time while you were in school I can't believe it. I'm still struggling to figure out the best way to learn and the most efficient methods to use for time management. Maybe I'm over thinking like I always do. Just know that you're a genius in my eyes and very industrious. You're a great example so keep the videos coming.
Digital Communication made me weep buckets.without laying the mathematical foundation it was very difficult to understand what is going on.The math took its sweet time for me to understand..
Courses I found difficult: ALGORITHMS AND DATA STRUCTURES: - More than half the class failed the midterm exam, then my professor inflated the grades. We did not have a Discrete Math course before (we took it alongside this course) and I prefer to learn the basic concepts first and applications afterwards. ELECTROMAGNETIC THEORY: - I abhor this course with a passion. More than two-thirds of the class failed the midterm and I found it was a dry subject made worse by the professor. PROBABILITY AND STOCHASTIC PROCESSES: - Professor was dry and the course topics were very disorganized and poorly managed. On top of that, my professor was one of those people who never gave part marks if you made a mistake.
I don't know as a mechanical engineer i am completely lost. I love md physics in highschool and jee, i am from India but i am completely lost in Engineering right now. I find just memorising equations and theory in order to pass every class. Is there anyone else like me.
Fourier analysis is so much more than just a quantum mechanics thing, its the key to all communications, its how this video is working and it's how I'm telling you it is MORE. Its the basis for the modern world.
Can you do a video on best way to study physics or other engineering classes? Or just study management skills while working? And maybe a class on the physics labs-how to prepare for them in advance. Im an electrical engineer major with a full time job and my time management skills could use some help. Im only taking physics and math this semester.
AppleBloom21 read A Mind for Numbers by Barbara Oakley. He's suggested it in the past. It's about how you learn, effective methods of studying, time management; and it's specific to math/science courses. I still open it up from time to time and read the chapter titles/summaries to remind myself how to get back on top of things.
Can You do a video on How much high school students should know About their subject of interest in order to not struggle in college ? (Ai/math/physics in my case )
There's no answer to that. You're gonna struggle. No matter what. PhDs and world class professionals in any field, thrown into college classes, are going to run into things that trip them up. Even the best professor is going to have to reference the text or ask a colleague or check online on some topics. The real answer to your question is that high school students should know enough to A) get accepted into their college, B) maybe win some financial aid and scholarships, and C) optionally, take some AP classes in order to skip some entry level courses like calculus.
@@NiteSaiya not what i meant buddy In my case now I know Python ( Mediocre level i won't say Professional or anything ) Discrete mathematics , Quantum physics , Basic Electronics , And A bit of Most Math Subjects out there ( Graph Theory , game theory , Calc , probability etc ) so basically if i went school for Electrical Engineering or Computer Science or any related Field , i won't really have to worry about the Programming Fundamentals compared to somewhat who just blindly memorized High school material ( I would say 99% of the students in my country ) And Can Easily Get an A+ , hope you get what i mean .
I also struggled (and sadly still...) due to having a teacher who does not like teaching. At least at my uni, teachers who wants to investigate have to do class and teach. Some of them enjoy it and do a great work, others... let their "PHd umpa lumpa" do the class with a poorly handwritten script and absolutely no confidence in what they are explaining(Even quoting, "I'm not sure, ask the teacher"). It sucks that is the class I was most interested in, Radiation and Wave Guidance, i had the worst. The only way to pass that subject is by "doing the exam in group" aka copying. Because the exercises provided as optional homework haven't changed since 2012! and have a minimum relation of today's requirements on their exams!
If you had gotten your amateur extra license (ham radio) first you would have understood RF a lot easier as it is centered around practical application
I was a working adult by day, earned my entire BSEE during evening classes. So it took me a long time. Emphasized CPU design. Graduated during the tech bubble burst of 2002, so never was able to get into the field. My hardest classes were thermodynamics (solely due to the professor), linear control systems (prof spoke with a thick polish accent, very hard to understand), electronics 1 (really didn't like the prof, seriously he was an ass), and power (my fault, I was only interested in digital classes and despised taking this class). I did well in college, but after working all day and going to classes at nights for roughly 10 years, by the end of my degree program I was just doing anything I could to pass a class and get out. I use the math from that degree to do statistics in the insurance industry.
So I’m going to ask all of you guys to help (and yes I will get professional help but I’m going to ask you guys first). I’m currently mechanical engineering but I’m fascinated by modern technology (not sure if it’s the software or physical thing) and maybe want to work with it. Should I stick with mechanical or go to another type of engineering? I love math (notice how I didn’t say “like”), designing things, modern technology, mechanics, drafting/sketching, and using computers to do work. I’m a very visual and creative person. Sometimes, I’m hands-on. If you guys need more info I’ll gladly answer.
I tought an electrical engineer would learn fourier analysis in the second or third math class in college. Solving linear diff eq and signal analysis is all about fourier transforms or series.
My college requires all the MechE students to take this horrible electrical engineering class. There was only one section so basically it was a horrible professor teaching in an auditorium attempting to teach higher level circuits to mechanical engineers. They required us to do these 10 hour labs every single week and we had to buy these 200 dollar circuits boards that never worked. The guy teaching the class was awful. He would give us a zero if we didn’t draw our circuits using straight edges. By far the worst class I’ve ever taken.
that's why I hated system controls when I was a student and moved towards software engineering (still it's full of BS, simplicity is the key in programming), but now, thanks to UA-cam channels like Zach Star, or betterexplained and Brian Douglas I visualize better stuff like the exponential function, Fourier/Laplace transforms and system controls.
just curious! is it possible to learn all kinds of advanced subject and topic ,which is supposed to teach by university, by self-learning through books? :) Any recommendation?
It's definitely possible! all the books and information is out there, it's just about do you have the discipline to do it cause it's not as easy I would say.
Anybody tell you that you look like the Christian Bale engineer like Tony Stark engineer is to Elon Musk? Anyways much Respect your channel and all your content brother. Keep up the amazing content and I find all of your videos educational and a breeze of entertainment when Engineering classes get tough haha. Quick question: Would you be doing any videos on like Mars exploration and Elon Musk news and updates? Or does your page have a different Avenue/audience geared toward just mainly engineering classes/college humor which I love haha? Thank you again for all you do!
I’m also an electrical engineering major and the circuit design class was the first one I took. It was one of my favorites! Are there any online resources for the other electrical engineering classes that helped you along the way? ( I’m taking EE online)
@@change5450 I actually got a little more that half the way through and then got into an apprenticeship! I’m on the career path I want now and the degree is on the back burner until I finish this program 😁
@@luket6405 wow that’s nice after the apprenticeship do u plan on picking up the degree again? Also how difficult was it for u personally I’ve been trying to learn more about it but everywhere is js full of how difficult and challenging which I’m ok with but beginning to have doubts😭
I did Process Engineering (natural gas), and boy how I struggled with logic programing. Such a waste of time for me as that course is better suited for industrial mechs😏
I’m currently enrolled in double degree with BS/MS Computer Engineering for 4 years and it is my first year first term. Would it be worth it? Also my uni is a quarter system.
Hey I know this has not much to do with this video, but would you recommend getting a masters degree in electrical engineering? The costs arent much of a problem since I live in the Netherlands and eduction costs are quite low
i watched all your videos related to my concern and i'd really like your saying on this cause i trust you on this and you are my last resort... i have talked to professors and my parents and friends but couldnt reach an answer the deadline is tomorrow to select my major and im torn between cs and mechatronics , i really like both i feel like im somehow closer to cs subjects and logical thinking but i also like building stuff with my hands. the problem is mechatronics doesnt have enough jobs compared to cs plus its almost non existent in my country since it is a developed one. my semester is about to start and i have chosen mechatronics but im doubtful right now and considering switching. these are the programs for each one cs : www.guc.edu.eg/en/academic_programs/programs/offered_courses.aspx?pId=4 mechatronics : www.guc.edu.eg/en/academic_programs/programs/offered_courses.aspx?pId=39
Which one do you like the most? What one major has that the other doesn't have? Future opportunities that each course gives? After you are done, do you want to join the labour force or want to do research?
Hello , I want to major in materials engineering but my school doesn't offer it as a major , so if I want to major in materials engineering, should I pick mechanical engineering or chemical engineering. Note: I'm already enrolled in the faculty of engineering. thanks
I was able to go to the gym plenty, plus I played ultimate frisbee in college where we practiced 4 days a week for about 3 hours each time and I made it through. Some weeks it can be really tough, but you’ll be fine.
Is there any possibility that I can retrieve some of your electrical engineering notes please ? I am an undergrad student , my major is electrical engineering.
I'm a first semester EE major thinking of specializing in RF/Wireless, did you have good job prospects after graduation? Also, are you currently working in an RF engineering field at the moment?
Well I got 3 job offers after school and I continue to get contacted through linkedin about jobs so I would say the job prospects are good. Currently I'm not working as an RF engineer but that was what my first job was.
That leads to my follow-up question. Since you're not working as an RF engineer at the moment, do you consider the knowledge you learned specializing in it not being utilized in your current job? Simply put, would you recommend specializing in something else such as controls or automation?
I'm not in an engineering job at the moment but no i don't think I'd recommend something else, if that's what you want to study then go for it. I definitely utilized that knowledge at my first job though.
Hi everyone I am studying Electrical engineering. actually i am a first year student of college. I am really interested in AI , machine learning and computer vision. I have learned Python. and now I wanna know do AI and Machine learning have any fields wich related to electrical engineering ?
Bule kebanyakan argumenya tinggal di praktekin aja daya tangkap seseorang berbeda2 ada yg tidak sekolah tp lebih nangkep terjun di praktek tp diteori 0 dan ada yang sekolah tinggi2 di teori okay di praktek kosong makanya bisa dibilang kata eintsen jenis ilmu itu bervariant atau beragam bisa dilihat dari kondisi ,lingkungan ,arahan kerja yg berbeda2 , aturan sop kepala bidang dan semacamnya
Personally, the hardest classes I had as an electrical engineering depended on the professor and the effort I put into it. Obviously some classes are harder than others but I simply put more time and effort into the class and it made the Class easier.
Hey do you have any regret about EE or any other majors you wish u had pursued😅
“Each course preys on different weaknesses”
EDIT: Origin of the quote
Calc2 professor said this when he and i were debating what was so hard
Like visualizing is your weakness
Then study up the graphs of sin cos tan and inverse functions
Cylindrical method disc and washer prey on it
Rush too quick ?
Integrating might be the poison for you especially when you need to integrate twice over
Is notation your problem?
Then series might be annoying for you
In a sense each topic will prey on different weaknesses just like the future courses you take.
Its whether or not you overcome them that determines your success in the class.

I guess the good thing is that you can basically find what is your strong suit in an engineering discipline.

@@change5450 I actually got a little more that half the way through and then got into an apprenticeship! I’m on the career path I want now and the degree is on the back burner until I finish this program 😁
@@luket6405 wow that’s nice after the apprenticeship do u plan on picking up the degree again? Also how difficult was it for u personally I’ve been trying to learn more about it but everywhere is js full of how difficult and challenging which I’m ok with but beginning to have doubts😭
I did Process Engineering (natural gas), and boy how I struggled with logic programing. Such a waste of time for me as that course is better suited for industrial mechs😏
Can you do a video on elective, I see them in my curriculum but I don't know what they are
I am studying computer engineering but all the subjects u mentioned are there... n yes EM is difficult
I also struggled with physics
I’m currently enrolled in double degree with BS/MS Computer Engineering for 4 years and it is my first year first term. Would it be worth it? Also my uni is a quarter system.
Was it worth it?
Hey I know this has not much to do with this video, but would you recommend getting a masters degree in electrical engineering? The costs arent much of a problem since I live in the Netherlands and eduction costs are quite low
Dude if you want to learn do it. If its accessible what's stopping you?
My hardest course was mathematical analysis.
i watched all your videos related to my concern and i'd really like your saying on this cause i trust you on this and you are my last resort... i have talked to professors and my parents and friends but couldnt reach an answer the deadline is tomorrow to select my major and im torn between cs and mechatronics , i really like both i feel like im somehow closer to cs subjects and logical thinking but i also like building stuff with my hands. the problem is mechatronics doesnt have enough jobs compared to cs plus its almost non existent in my country since it is a developed one. my semester is about to start and i have chosen mechatronics but im doubtful right now and considering switching.
these are the programs for each one
cs : www.guc.edu.eg/en/academic_programs/programs/offered_courses.aspx?pId=4
mechatronics : www.guc.edu.eg/en/academic_programs/programs/offered_courses.aspx?pId=39
if anyone else would like to help me please feel free to
Which one do you like the most? What one major has that the other doesn't have? Future opportunities that each course gives? After you are done, do you want to join the labour force or want to do research?
please make a video on mechatronics engineering
Hi MajorPrep,
I just discovered your channel.
What is your opinion on BSc vs engineering?
(Ex: BSc CS vs Computer engineering. )
What college did you go to? Just curious :)
Cal poly slo!
which classes do you recommend to take as Electives for EE
How was dirty q’s?
Hello , I want to major in materials engineering but my school doesn't offer it as a major , so if I want to major in materials engineering, should I pick mechanical engineering or chemical engineering.
Note: I'm already enrolled in the faculty of engineering.
thanks
Can you take electrical engineering if you're not that good in math?
Yes but only once because you'll inevitably fail m
I start electrical engineering on the 17th of September. Did you get time for going gym?
I was able to go to the gym plenty, plus I played ultimate frisbee in college where we practiced 4 days a week for about 3 hours each time and I made it through. Some weeks it can be really tough, but you’ll be fine.
MajorPrep thank you
You motivate me. Keep the good work going.
Is there any possibility that I can retrieve some of your electrical engineering notes please ?
I am an undergrad student , my major is electrical engineering.
I'm a first semester EE major thinking of specializing in RF/Wireless, did you have good job prospects after graduation? Also, are you currently working in an RF engineering field at the moment?
Well I got 3 job offers after school and I continue to get contacted through linkedin about jobs so I would say the job prospects are good. Currently I'm not working as an RF engineer but that was what my first job was.
That leads to my follow-up question. Since you're not working as an RF engineer at the moment, do you consider the knowledge you learned specializing in it not being utilized in your current job? Simply put, would you recommend specializing in something else such as controls or automation?
I'm not in an engineering job at the moment but no i don't think I'd recommend something else, if that's what you want to study then go for it. I definitely utilized that knowledge at my first job though.
Thanks for your input!
There is a chance that i understand quantumphysics.
Hi everyone
I am studying Electrical engineering. actually i am a first year student of college.
I am really interested in AI , machine learning and computer vision.
I have learned Python.
and now I wanna know do AI and Machine learning have any fields wich related to electrical engineering ?
Can you do a video on statistics major please?
So you are an RF engineer?
Bule kebanyakan argumenya tinggal di praktekin aja daya tangkap seseorang berbeda2 ada yg tidak sekolah tp lebih nangkep terjun di praktek tp diteori 0 dan ada yang sekolah tinggi2 di teori okay di praktek kosong makanya bisa dibilang kata eintsen jenis ilmu itu bervariant atau beragam bisa dilihat dari kondisi ,lingkungan ,arahan kerja yg berbeda2 , aturan sop kepala bidang dan semacamnya
My brain hurts
