Do all electrical engineers need to know compE courses?

<p>I want to be an EE in the circuit field designing circuit-boards and stuff. Sometime back I wanted to double major in CompE field but it is hard for me. I am getting an F in my intro-class to computer Engineering, it is a lot easier than the compE classes that follow it. But almost all compE courses are a prerequisite for all people doing EE to get their Barchellors. </p>

<p>Now, am stuck. I just dropped the easiest comp-E course because it was impossiblr for me. Our school requires me to take that course and 2 more harder ones to get a degree. I have pretty much concluded that I won't be getting a bachelllors, because I am not going to do stuff I can't handle. I will only do my Circuit analysis courses. So, can you be a succssfull circuit designer with no knowledge about computer engineering? </p>

<p>if u know of any other fields in EE that don't require any compE, tell me.</p>

<p>A basic understanding of Computer Engineering is a requirement at every school’s EE program. You need to figure out a way to deal with it if you want to graduate.</p>

<p>Now, assuming you can at least pass these classes, you could work in Power Electronics and avoid most things Computer Engineering related.</p>
