<p>I heard that electrical has more maths and it's easier for me to grasp stuff like pressure, thermodynamics etc. than calculus but I really love electronics. It's like I want to really work with both mechanical and electrical stuff.</p>
<p>Mechatronics</p>
<p>Calculus is an important part of both fields and you can get into robotics and mechatronics from either side. Another option for a sort of interdisciplinary degree of this kind is engineering physics. You get mechanics, electrodynamics and computing in the physics part and add in engineering classes of interest.</p>
<p>Both mechanical and electrical engineering are vast disciplines and it is difficult to make general statements about either of them regarding use of calculus.</p>
<p>Don’t judge yourself too harshly about your ability to grasp concepts in calculus. Sometimes a bad teacher or a bad text book can put you off. This has happened to me in the past. Subjects which I initially thought were hard or boring turned out to be very interesting and not so difficult when I studied them at a different place and time. You can not get away by not studying and being good at calculus if you want to become an engineer. Accept this reality. </p>
<p>The kind of math most mechanical and electrical engineers use on a daily basis is hardly above 10th grade level. There are a few specific areas in both mechanical and electrical engineering which require a thorough understanding of advanced math concepts. Even then you rely mostly on tools to do most of the work.</p>
<p>There are a few electrical (analog) and mechanical engineers at my place of work who don’t have a degree in engineering. They went to 2 yr tech schools mainly to avoid having to take “difficult” math classes and started their careers as technicians. However, over the years they have become very good at solving difficult problems …</p>
