<p>thanks Maine! is there a big difference between the regular classes and their advanced version? i didn't really know colleges even had regular and advanced</p>
<p>I Hope UT: I am also doing EE/CE and I also attended the "A Day in the Life of an Electrical Engineering Student". It seemed interesting to me so I'm going to give EE a shot and see if I like it or not. What about you? Are you 100% sure that EE is for you or are you like me and love technology but don't know if EE is the right major?</p>
<p>Henry, I went to UT from 1980 to 1986 (BS and MS in structural engineering), so I'm sure things have changed. There was definitely a difference during the freshman year when I went. Nothing seemed different after that, though.</p>
<p>I admire anyone who goes for EE! I was an excellent student in general, but I couldn't figure out the basic EE class to save myself! When I took the EIT exam as a senior, I had to just mark "C" on every single EE question, because I was clueless. I still passed the test, somehow.</p>
<p>hey maybe i saw you there nitinkarya lol...</p>
<p>umm i'm probably 75% sure...there may be a chance i'll switch if it doesn't interest me lol</p>
<p>And MaineLonghorn, you're kind of scaring me lol...what was so hard about it? how well did you do in math/physics in hs?</p>
<p>Don't worry, I Hope UT! As I said, I was there a million years ago. I'm sure the prof I had, McCormick, I think, is long gone (thank God). The biggest problem was that my HS physics class was a JOKE - not AP, and full of kids who weren't that interested in the subject (I never could figure out why about half of them were even in there). It was kind of a "Physics for Dummies" class. Now my HS (Austin Westlake) has TONS of AP classes, of course, including AP Astronomy the last time I checked. Lucky kids!</p>
<p>On the other hand, I had a wonderful AP Calculus class in HS - my teacher had a PhD and was a sweetheart. She made the subject seem easy! I think I got a 4 on the AP test, but decided to take both semesters of calculus at UT just to make sure I was really solid in it.</p>
<p>in the long run, is taking the accelerated calculus path really that much better than the regular path? In my opinion, taking the slower, regular route helps you understand the content more and you won't be left in your junior and senior year without a calculus course to keep your math skills fresh. unless, there's more advanced courses past the calculus ones that I'm not aware of...</p>
