I don't like my engineering classes?

<p>So I'm in a weird position right now. </p>

<p>I'm currently a 2nd year EE. I don't look forward to my engineering classes too much and prefer going to my math core classes such as differential equations; however, I really do enjoy working in the lab periods and doing projects in teams for the said engineering classess.</p>

<p>Do you guys think that this is a sign that I'm not interested in engineering? Or is it just that my (intro?) classes (digital design and circuit analysis) are supposed to be this way?</p>

<p>It’s possible that your interests lie more in the sciences or mathematics instead of engineering, however, you have not said what it is that you don’t like about your engineering classes. You like the labs but you are finding the lecture portion dry? You should give the second semester courses a chance before making any decision. I am sure that if you were to change majors to Mathematics or a science program the engineering courses could be used for a minor.</p>

<p>I agree with Xray. Right now you’re learning the fundamentals, which can be tedious for even EE majors themselves. I hear that the intro physics courses at my school are so dry that physics majors themselves don’t like them. Do you find yourself working in the field of computing, electronics, or power? Or do you picture yourself researching math? The passionate math folks seem to have a thirst for proofs and abstract concepts. Do you have that? Advanced math is different from lower level math because it’s not just plugging into equations. Then again EE can get VERY theoretical as well as abstract, but applies these concepts to real things.</p>
