<p>I am currently an undergraduate and I am done with all my math-science +liberal arts classes, and I want to apply for engineering school at my university. I am confused when it comes to what I want to major in in electrical engineering. I am really good at math +physics( all grades A+) and my gpa is 3.8 . The thing is I want something that is challenging and involves problem solving (math +physics ) and in the same time has a good job opportunity. In addition, I dont want to be a programming monkey that only memorizes codes. I did a research online on most E.E fields . My university do offer a major in most these fields(control , electronics , tele, computer, power, micro electronics , signal processing , etc). I am also thinking about doing a masters degree right after I graduate. So which field is more suited for me or which fields? (I already excluded power ).</p>
<p>Presumably they all involve problem solving. I personally think signal processing seems very interesting (I’m not EE and would have to take a slew of other classes to take it, so I’m not) but you probably need to give more about your interests for anyone to be able to help you. </p>
<p>What do you and don’t you like about programming? I don’t see the situation where you should ever have to memorize code. In my programming class we had to learn a few different algorithms, but we never had to memorize them or anything, just know how they work. </p>
<p>Your first semester as an EE there’s probably going to be a set of classes which you have to take which will expose you to many of these fields. You’re not diving deep into any specialization your first semester of EE. That should help you narrow it down too.</p>
<p>thanks alot, mostly I want a field that exposes me to more physics and math, I dont want to get a desk job and sit all day signing papers or fixing stuff, I love research and designing. I wouldnt mind doing programming as a part of my job.</p>
