This is a question I have always wanted to ask but was too nervous to.
I am currently a EE and Math dual major at an engineering university. I really like EE and thoroughly enjoy the subject and the physics behind it. However, I noticed during lab I tend to struggle more than the other students.
It's not that I don't enjoy lab, I just have a hard time building circuits and visualizing "this wire carries current here which then goes here" and so on. When I understand it I find circuits lots of fun, and I can solve them relatively easily. I usually finish the lab on time and understand it, I feel like I have a harder time with it than most students.
I have noticed, however, I am great in theory. I'm only a freshman and I have taken Calculus I-III and linear algebra and I am ODE's right now. I know more math than most freshman, so I can relate to the theory a lot more than they can. I am also in Physics II right now and I have an A without a problem. I also really enjoy that class and I like the physics point of view of EE.
So my question is, am I cut for EE or am I just being paranoid? How long does it take to get used to things like circuit building? I like it, it's just harder for me than most people. What should I do?
I know this is pretty long but I thank you for reading and I appreciate your input.
Thanks,
Austin
