HI, I'm considering taking an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering, but i hv some doubts and i'm not very confident on whether i can make it through. I'm scared that the higher level physics wud be too profound for me to understand.

I've never really considered taking engineering as to me they're for those who are really strong in their sciences. But bcoz I'm interested in renewable energy systems, and hope to specialize in it.

I've just finish my SUEC, quite exposed to advanced maths and i guess quite difficult physics ques but still only high school level.
I used to be lousy in physics, cudn't even understand a question's solution in front of my eyes, so i work hard to understand them, manage to finally get it and solve some exciting ques( it was really rewarding, the feeling). but still not all, i kind of saw a glimpse wat real profound physics means as there were some ques in a china's gaokao past year ques&solution book that i had no idea of. Furthermore they say that EE engineering is one of the hardest in its field. Cud some EE degree holder pls kind of tell me if its plausible for a person with just average intelligence like me to study it.But i'm also quite an obstinate person, wudn't give up kind , i cud take hours solving an advanced math ques.

depends in which industry u went into... do you want to work in a factory? do u want to work in consultant company? services? oil n gas? marine? marine? are you certified in any software? to wide.... but from my own exp., the market price is $2200 starting.. later if have OT allowance, hp allowance, meal, car, house (maybe)... so add up get a lot more... but it all depend on company...
well... tell urself first wat do u wanna become after u finish studying... EE still broad... do u wanna major in power, telco, bla bla bla?? there's alot... but EE is 1 thing... u have to deal with things dat u dont see most of the time.. ur dealing with waveform... programming... etc etc etc...

some of my fren took EE and after finish 1st year change to mechanical.. why? because they say they cant deal things dat they cant see...  laugh.gif
some of them even after 2nd year only change course... then waste time already... pick carefully... tell urself which industry u want to be in...
Hi, thanks 4 the advice.Things they can't see? Umm..... i'm not sure whether i can or not.. How to know whether i'll be able to handle it?

hi thr.. if u r interested in renewable energy systems.. u shd take up mechanical engineering.. it provides a broader foundation than electrical engineering.. renewable energy deals wif energy conversions and and energy transfer.. both these two subjects are a major in mechanical..

hope u wil reconsider..

Yeah thxs a lot, i never knew that, never even bothered looking at mechanical energineering..This, like changes my aim...

Ugh, sucks, i feel very unsure abt this engineering, i've already forgotten most of the physics concepts and all... i don know if i can relearn it.. Haiz....

Hi, i've decided on choosing mechanical engineering.....but i'm still a bit
not confident
well, i'm not clever or very strong in science only average
is it possible to become an engineer still?(i noe i sound a bit leceh bcoz i've asked dis b4 but not satisfied yet sleep.gif!)

ok, between high IQ, attitude n interest, which 1 is the most important in studying engineering?(in my case, its electrical)
