I have come to the realization that mechanical engineering is not for me. I am currently taking Dynamics and Strength of Materials. I study about 4-6 hours every day and am still having trouble grasping the core concepts of both of these classes. I go to tutorials, just about every one of my professors office hours and nothing clicks. It will only get increasingly harder from here and I just believe physics type classes just are not for me. I chose ME because I like Cars and Robotics so I thought it would be interesting seeing how these are made and work. I was thinking of changing to Computer Engineering as maybe I am better suited for coding but I am sure it is just as hard. I don’t mind a challenge but what I am doing now just seems insurmountable. Any advice on what I should do?
I have no solution to the conundrum, but I’m curious why, after 4 years, you’re only now hitting dynamics and strength of materials. :-/
Had the same question, you should be taking those classes as a junior. This matters since it’s easier to switch majors as a junior, than closer to graduation as a senior.
Picking a major is a personal choice. How can we tell how much you hate ME, but will really love Computer Engineering? However, it’s a lot easier to switch fields in college, than once you graduate and have been working a few years. 
Sounds like you’re not too far into the ME curriculum, so if you’re going to switch majors, you should do it soon. Check your schools policy on changing majors. It’s easy at some schools, but much harder at others.
Also, Computer Engineering can be very different from Computer Sciences. Do some research, and make sure that’s the direction you want to go in.
Good Luck!
@davisjack95 This doesn’t make sense, are you sure you are in your 4th or senior year in engineering? Most engineering programs start strength of materials and dynamic in the 2nd year after you have taken calculus, statics or engineering mechanics1.
To find a solution to this problem, try typing the subject or topic on YouTube, look at different examples or the big picture to get a better idea of how to apply it. Ask your classmates, senior students that have taken the class or the smartest person in your class to assist you.
PM me if you have more questions…
Strengths was a sophomore class for me (albeit 30+ years ago). Maybe Dynamics too. Perhaps this is a part time student?
i know 2 kids that figured they didn’t like mechanical eng. One changed to EE and was happy but took longer to get through school and the other finished mechanical and got the degree and worked for the patent office. Other kids I heard of went into consulting. So I guess it depends what you want to do….
Are you close to graduating? Thinking yes if you are on year 4. If so, graduate and get a masters in your desired area. The great thing about Engineering is that the disciplines often cross over and having the background will be useful to you. My dh is a Mechanical Engineer but crosses over into Civil and has Nuclear background as well. I’m amazing how he can “work around the field.” I am a teacher and can not cross disciplines.
