Hi!!!
I am a new member here.
I am interested to take Electrical and Electronic Engineering course.
Can someone here(especially as an undergraduate of E&E) to brief me about what am I going to study at E&E? I need some guide here. I need it badly. Is there project work for every semester or every year? Giving the flow of the entire life in university will be greatly and really appreciated. If it is possible please compile it with which university you are in will be more informative.
I had heard some rumors from my friend's seniors claiming that it is not an easy course compared to chemical engineering a couple of days ago. I still doubt that what he tell me is true.
Welcome.
Indeed EEE is a difficult course relative to CE, and the right question to do some investigation on further for your own benefit is probably the math part, which is the bit a number of people find difficult about their majors. Yet on the other hand, some may find that CE may be a harder course for them because mathematical abstraction comes easy to them but they do not particularly like the way the course is not condensed in a way that you deal with core fundamentals so there is a lot of memorisation instead of grasping the pure abstractions that tie them up together.
If however you are talented at abstractions, you may find that you can easily distill most chemistry textbooks into a few pages although then that begs the question of why that hasn't been done yet. To be fair, EEE which is a lot of applied physics and math derives its difficulty from the fact that physicists and mathematicians in history have some of the highest IQs compared to other branches of science. Which is where you get the equating of Einstein, a theoretical physicist (which is the most mathematical branch of physics) to someone who is known to be a brilliant genius. Or that rocket science is colloquially known to be especially hard. So, rest assure, understanding or applying their work does not come easy.
Drilling down to the actual math used on both courses...
At the heart of chemical engineering is partial differential equations and linear algebra. Of course depending on the university you are going to, there is always going to be a slight different in emphasis and hence you may also dabble in some sub-specialties of chemical engineering that would involve a different numerical branch.
Electrical and electronic engineering on the other hand not only covers those two main areas at its core but also probability theory, abstract algebra etc. My advice is to pick up the mathematics required for both fields, browse through and see which one gives you more of a headache. That's a good starting point.
If you have any mathematical questions, feel free to buzz me over a cup of coffee, I am able to provide initial consultations.
Good luck!
