Personally, the hardest classes I had as an electrical engineering depended on the professor and the effort I put into it. Obviously some classes are harder than others but I simply put more time and effort into the class and it made the Class easier.

“Each course preys on different weaknesses” EDIT: Origin of the quote Calc2 professor said this when he and i were debating what was so hard Like visualizing is your weakness Then study up the graphs of sin cos tan and inverse functions Cylindrical method disc and washer prey on it Rush too quick ? Integrating might be the poison for you especially when you need to integrate twice over Is notation your problem? Then series might be annoying for you In a sense each topic will prey on different weaknesses just like the future courses you take. Its whether or not you overcome them that determines your success in the class. -Jporus

This video actually defines why electrical and electronic engineering are some of the hardest engineerings.

Looking at your course flowchart and descriptions it seems like you graduated from Cal Poly SLO, this is my final quarter in Software Engineering and sometimes I wonder how I got through all of my coursework! Props!!!

Oh Modern Physics. I remember taking that course and trying to solve schrodingers and doing time dialations.

I'm enjoying your videos sooo much, thank you for the effort and making me more interested in engineering

appreciate the work you do MP. Keep up the good work.

I thank again for your videos. It really helps and motivate me

I feel u bro. assembly language is one of the toughest class for me.

Thank you Zack for this video.

You know it would be cool to see the courses you enjoyed the most and maybe some series on what courses are really career-helpful and/or enjoyable for different majors

your videos are awesome ! keep it going

DUDE! I’m a computer engineering major and I HATED my class with Assembly. Assembly is the most primitive language there is and I’m glad to see someone else struggled with. This makes me feel better that this is one of the harder classes.

Hardest course i’ve taken in building engineering is fluid mechanics

I guess the good thing is that you can basically find what is your strong suit in an engineering discipline. For EE for example that might be High Voltage Power Systems, Analog/Digital Signal Processing, or Embedded Systems. Key thing is to play to your strengths and use that to your advantage. Undergrad is good in that you get broad knowledge of the field. Whereas masters from my understanding is where you specialize in a concentration area deeply.

waiting to watch next videos .The content your posting is really helpful for engineering student like me... keep the awesome work...😃@majorprep.

Zach, I wish you could make a personalized schedule for me now that a new semester has started. You had such control of your classes and your time while you were in school I can't believe it. I'm still struggling to figure out the best way to learn and the most efficient methods to use for time management. Maybe I'm over thinking like I always do. Just know that you're a genius in my eyes and very industrious. You're a great example so keep the videos coming.

Man, I'm also an electrical engineering graduate and Computer Architecture was by far my favourite course.

I struggled with Electromagnetic Radioation class. Barely passed it.

Nice one, keep it up

Thank you sir for this video. Kindly make a video on how to start and learn communication systems

I really wanna watch the physics vs engineering video ahah! keep up the good work!

Have you taken the FE and PE exams? Also, can you do a video on chemical engineering as a major?

Love the background

Love the work

Recently went back college after 10 years and I’m stuck on which field of computer science to take xD I’m so lost .

Haha, I got my undergraduate in chemical engineering and graduated degrees in mechanical and aerospace engineering. I taught myself assembly language and loved it. My least favorite course in chemical engineering was feedback control. My graduate degree in mechanical engineering focussed on feedback control. A teacher can make a class your most or least favorite.

Digital Communication made me weep buckets.without laying the mathematical foundation it was very difficult to understand what is going on.The math took its sweet time for me to understand..

as an electrical engineer the most course i struggled with is "physics 101" and "digital circuits design" and "electromangantics 102" :) it's so wierd ro include physics 101 there but i did put a work to that class more than any course before, like IDK how people were getting an easy A in it while i was just knocking my head, i did get an A at the last but it was SO fu***** hard

Totally agree with the Assembly and Computer Architecture course! MIPS is the devil. I'm 1st semester junior myself for EE after working radars and power conversion in the Navy for 6 years.

I am going into my second year of electrical engineering and I love the "programming" parts of this major.

I actually did very well in those courses when I took them for my BSEE probably because: 1. I did NOT attend your university and I earned my degree almost 19 years ago. This means my university and its professors could be "easier" or "harder." Too many variables for me to approach in those regards. 2. I actually was experimenting with electricity and electronics when many later tube based and early solid-state electronic kits were easily found from a wide variety of sources. I was spending time with some "mainframe" computers (DEC PDP-8 and PDP-11) as well as assembly programming with early Z80 and 8080 CPU's. 3. I earned several "technical associate degrees" before taking on the BSEE. Those technical degrees were "Electronics Tech" and "Computer Information Systems." Only a couple of ET courses and only a few of the CIS were transferrable into the BSEE, but what I learned was retained in my mind. Now, I've completed an MSEE and earned my PE licensure. Looking back, I believe those courses were easy because of the previous knowledge and experience gained as described above.

3rd electrical and electronic engineering and the assembly paper in 2nd year was the biggest nightmare

Oh man, Microprocessor Design, Microcontroller Interfacing and Computer System Design were the three hardest classes for me.

Why is your hair so fabulous?

I'm studying electrical engineering too

Hi MajorPrep, I just discovered your channel. What is your opinion on BSc vs engineering? (Ex: BSc CS vs Computer engineering. )

Semiconductor device physics was the bane of my existence, I much prefer the logical synthesis of ALU design and embedded systems

Fourier analysis is so much more than just a quantum mechanics thing, its the key to all communications, its how this video is working and it's how I'm telling you it is MORE. Its the basis for the modern world.

which classes do you recommend to take as Electives for EE

Electronics communication engineering vs computer engineering plss

Thay computer design class brought back some memories

I tought an electrical engineer would learn fourier analysis in the second or third math class in college. Solving linear diff eq and signal analysis is all about fourier transforms or series.

"Control system" which is part of Electrical Engineering is one of the hardest.

feeling same about that smith diagram it wasent hard to learn but didnt know i shoud learn it lol

Can you do a video on best way to study physics or other engineering classes? Or just study management skills while working? And maybe a class on the physics labs-how to prepare for them in advance. Im an electrical engineer major with a full time job and my time management skills could use some help. Im only taking physics and math this semester.

Happened to me in engineering chemistry clss and now Analog communication.. thz SEM we hv Smith chart And ... Physics♥️♥️ awsm

Right now I'm taking one of my EE course, computer architecture and I feel the same way that you said it as😪😪the labs are pits from hell.

Can you do a video on elective, I see them in my curriculum but I don't know what they are

Can you do a video on statistics major please?

Courses I found difficult: ALGORITHMS AND DATA STRUCTURES: - More than half the class failed the midterm exam, then my professor inflated the grades. We did not have a Discrete Math course before (we took it alongside this course) and I prefer to learn the basic concepts first and applications afterwards. ELECTROMAGNETIC THEORY: - I abhor this course with a passion. More than two-thirds of the class failed the midterm and I found it was a dry subject made worse by the professor. PROBABILITY AND STOCHASTIC PROCESSES: - Professor was dry and the course topics were very disorganized and poorly managed. On top of that, my professor was one of those people who never gave part marks if you made a mistake.

I couldn’t pass an engineering course if my life depended on it. So glad we have capable engineers and engineering students in this world 😂

Missed two of those, so far, as an EE *T-Line though*

Is there any possibility that I can retrieve some of your electrical engineering notes please ? I am an undergrad student , my major is electrical engineering.

So I just started my first semester of electrical engineering at Florida International University, and to be honest, I'm a little scared now, lol.

I’m laughing so hard. We lived and breathed the Smith Chart in our EMAG class.

Hello , I want to major in materials engineering but my school doesn't offer it as a major , so if I want to major in materials engineering, should I pick mechanical engineering or chemical engineering. Note: I'm already enrolled in the faculty of engineering. thanks

eyyyy a calpoly grad I recognize that course articulation anywhere!

If you had gotten your amateur extra license (ham radio) first you would have understood RF a lot easier as it is centered around practical application

Hey I know this has not much to do with this video, but would you recommend getting a masters degree in electrical engineering? The costs arent much of a problem since I live in the Netherlands and eduction costs are quite low

Bro my hardest classes were applied calc and applied calc 2 which almost had nothing to do with the rest of my classes but oh well

please make a video on mechatronics engineering

just curious! is it possible to learn all kinds of advanced subject and topic ,which is supposed to teach by university, by self-learning through books? :) Any recommendation?

I’m also an electrical engineering major and the circuit design class was the first one I took. It was one of my favorites! Are there any online resources for the other electrical engineering classes that helped you along the way? ( I’m taking EE online)

I’m currently enrolled in double degree with BS/MS Computer Engineering for 4 years and it is my first year first term. Would it be worth it? Also my uni is a quarter system.

In my fourth year and without a doubt the hardest class I have taken is microprocessors.

Can You do a video on How much high school students should know About their subject of interest in order to not struggle in college ? (Ai/math/physics in my case )

Transient Circuit Analysis was the hardest class I ever took

I also struggled (and sadly still...) due to having a teacher who does not like teaching. At least at my uni, teachers who wants to investigate have to do class and teach. Some of them enjoy it and do a great work, others... let their "PHd umpa lumpa" do the class with a poorly handwritten script and absolutely no confidence in what they are explaining(Even quoting, "I'm not sure, ask the teacher"). It sucks that is the class I was most interested in, Radiation and Wave Guidance, i had the worst. The only way to pass that subject is by "doing the exam in group" aka copying. Because the exercises provided as optional homework haven't changed since 2012! and have a minimum relation of today's requirements on their exams!

That first one, I think it's the same as Computer Organization and Architecture, here in India... Brooo I too literally hated that class...

i’m 18 what should i learn?

I did Process Engineering (natural gas), and boy how I struggled with logic programing. Such a waste of time for me as that course is better suited for industrial mechs😏

What college did you go to? Just curious :)

I also struggled with physics

Anybody tell you that you look like the Christian Bale engineer like Tony Stark engineer is to Elon Musk? Anyways much Respect your channel and all your content brother. Keep up the amazing content and I find all of your videos educational and a breeze of entertainment when Engineering classes get tough haha. Quick question: Would you be doing any videos on like Mars exploration and Elon Musk news and updates? Or does your page have a different Avenue/audience geared toward just mainly engineering classes/college humor which I love haha? Thank you again for all you do!

I’m about to start EEE in 2 weeks and I’m starting to doubt myself all the content you showed looks soo hard, is EEE really that hard 😭

Hi everyone I am studying Electrical engineering. actually i am a first year student of college. I am really interested in AI , machine learning and computer vision. I have learned Python. and now I wanna know do AI and Machine learning have any fields wich related to electrical engineering ?

YESSSS I could not function with my computer design class!

So you are an RF engineer?

I'm a first semester EE major thinking of specializing in RF/Wireless, did you have good job prospects after graduation? Also, are you currently working in an RF engineering field at the moment?

I am studying computer engineering but all the subjects u mentioned are there... n yes EM is difficult

Where is electrical machine? Most dangerous subject for me(as i am doing undergraduation in electrical engg)

How was dirty q’s?

i dont know why but 1st year physics was the hardest for me looool

Dont worry Zach all us CS majors hate the Assembly Language class

smith charts are the bane of my existence

So I’m going to ask all of you guys to help (and yes I will get professional help but I’m going to ask you guys first). I’m currently mechanical engineering but I’m fascinated by modern technology (not sure if it’s the software or physical thing) and maybe want to work with it. Should I stick with mechanical or go to another type of engineering? I love math (notice how I didn’t say “like”), designing things, modern technology, mechanics, drafting/sketching, and using computers to do work. I’m a very visual and creative person. Sometimes, I’m hands-on. If you guys need more info I’ll gladly answer.

THERMO FUCKING DYNAMICS and Fluid Mechanics

Laplace Transformations are a nightmare.

Im a civil engineer. I HATED PHYSICS!!!! NEVER MADE SENSE

My hardest course was mathematical analysis.

I start electrical engineering on the 17th of September. Did you get time for going gym?

I was a working adult by day, earned my entire BSEE during evening classes. So it took me a long time. Emphasized CPU design. Graduated during the tech bubble burst of 2002, so never was able to get into the field. My hardest classes were thermodynamics (solely due to the professor), linear control systems (prof spoke with a thick polish accent, very hard to understand), electronics 1 (really didn't like the prof, seriously he was an ass), and power (my fault, I was only interested in digital classes and despised taking this class). I did well in college, but after working all day and going to classes at nights for roughly 10 years, by the end of my degree program I was just doing anything I could to pass a class and get out. I use the math from that degree to do statistics in the insurance industry.

My college requires all the MechE students to take this horrible electrical engineering class. There was only one section so basically it was a horrible professor teaching in an auditorium attempting to teach higher level circuits to mechanical engineers. They required us to do these 10 hour labs every single week and we had to buy these 200 dollar circuits boards that never worked. The guy teaching the class was awful. He would give us a zero if we didn’t draw our circuits using straight edges. By far the worst class I’ve ever taken.

i watched all your videos related to my concern and i'd really like your saying on this cause i trust you on this and you are my last resort... i have talked to professors and my parents and friends but couldnt reach an answer the deadline is tomorrow to select my major and im torn between cs and mechatronics , i really like both i feel like im somehow closer to cs subjects and logical thinking but i also like building stuff with my hands. the problem is mechatronics doesnt have enough jobs compared to cs plus its almost non existent in my country since it is a developed one. my semester is about to start and i have chosen mechatronics but im doubtful right now and considering switching. these are the programs for each one cs : www.guc.edu.eg/en/academic_programs/programs/offered_courses.aspx?pId=4 mechatronics : www.guc.edu.eg/en/academic_programs/programs/offered_courses.aspx?pId=39

Can you take electrical engineering if you're not that good in math?

The hardest classes are always the easiest for the others

Your eyebags speak for themselves of all the effort you put in.

im here

in which college do you study?
