<p>I am planning on studying engineering science. I never was good at math in high school or even when I took the GED. This year I don't know what happened but I suddenly became good at math. I was quick at solving problems including word problems. I think I was never good at math in high school because I never really tried with math. Due to the fact that I never finished high school I decided to take two developmental math courses. I felt regret taking those two courses because they were really easy. Even though I have yet to take Precalculus I managed to solve a lot of problems. My only concern is the amount of work engineering requires. It looks like a lot and I become stressed easily. I'm the kind of student who wants my work perfect and handed in on time. Those of you who are or were engineering majors how did you find it (difficult, time consuming, etc.)?</p>
<p>I’m a sophomore in Electrical Engineering right now, and so far it really boils down to time management. The classes haven’t been all that difficult (then again, I’m only a sophomore). I took Calculus I and II last year, as well as General Chemistry and some circuit analysis and Physics courses. I was fortunate enough to find a group of engineering students as serious about learning as I was, and I was better off because of it. We would all study together regularly, and once we felt that everyone had learned the material we had the free time to enjoy soccer, video games and other leisure activities. </p>
<p>If you do the same, find some study partners, speak with your professors regularly and avoid the ‘typical’ college life (intense partying/drinking/etc) then I’m sure you’ll perform well and still find a few hours in the day to enjoy yourself and avoid becoming stressed out.</p>
