It doesnt matter man. remember in 3rd grade when addition was hard?

how about 6th grade when division was hard.

You're learning whether you think you are or not.

If you would change your major to save your gpa, then you shouldnt be an engineer anyway though.

Math is the best part of E.engineering :D

cool course...ty for uploading...

@TheUltimateBeing01 that depends what you do and where.

[TheUltimateBeing01]

This video was good, but I want something more in depth.

Like the tools they use, what systems they work on, if travel is required, e.t.c.

@razorflown2 I think your comment just changed my life. Thank you! (physics major)

@DevanPx But it is up to you what you really enjoy and want to be. just giving some advice what Engineering Technology and Engineering is about. and what the difference of the two majors are.

[emanpiano10]

@DevanPx Another way if you just want to go ahead and go straight in to Electrical Engineering is not be in EET and just take a bunch of general ed classes like liberal arts. take all your required math and science classes, humanities and social science classes. which you have complete all of those then you can transfer you credits to an engineering program instead of wasting time and credits on classes that you wouldn't use in an engineering. Engineering has much more math than Caclulus 2.

[emanpiano10]

@DevanPx But if your school has that option then you will be fine but at the same time you would be waste time an credits on classes that has nothing to do with Electrical Engineering if you are in Electrical Engineering Technology if you are aiming to became an engineer

[emanpiano10]

@DevanPx also I may not know what your school articulation with EE and EET? but if your 2 year division will let you take "theory engineering" classes mix with "practical engineering technology" classes with all your math requirements Calc 1 Calc 2 Calc 3 Differential equations\lapse, Liner Algebra Physics 1&2 Chemistry 1&2 then i wouldn't see much of a problem transferring in to an engineering program.

@emanpiano10 both concepts are appealing to me but I love teamwork and i really enjoy solving complex problems,I am also a very artistic person so naturally I would love a job where design is a major part of my daily schedule. and in a most cases engineers will make more than the technologist that is a plus but the main thing is enjoying your career and making your school worth the time/money/effort.

[emanpiano10]

@DevanPx Another way of putting is do you like working with Math and Theory all day and for the rest of your life. That's what Engineers all do in there every day job. solving complex problems coming up with ideas to make the world better by inventing things. Or do you like to fix things, convert ideas of engineers concept designs, make prototype models, supervise, conduct test, maintenance, modify designs or help out in a design but very limited since design requires more theory. =This is EET
