Fell for the EE meme

I thought that electronics were like magic and wanted to understand how they worked. Realized I didn't really care about the application.

>became a physics major

Ah yeah I guess I kinda went into EE with similar intent. I am now in more applied physics area like photonics, optics, electromagnetics

what are the requirements to get an Electrical Engineering degree?
i want to get one
i dropped out of highschool though. i only have a GED. but i work with electrical utility company though.

yup, i'm working in AMO now and studying spintronics. The EE skills are extremely helpful for fixing all this craigslist-tier equipment though

Calculus, linear algebra, basic physics, then electronics courses. Recommend you start at a local CC doing the calculus and physics so you can see if you hate it or not. Most people think all that they'll never use it again and they are very wrong.

Case and point

>EE meme
Explain OP

How is it a meme?

Yeah like the other person said do 2 years at CC to get prereqs out of the way (calc 1-3, physics 1 and 2, diff eq, linear algebra, maybe comp sci class?, and some general electives). After that transfer to a 4 year university with your credits and finish off the degree as required.

If I were you I would like at options for 4 year universities near you or instate, google up whether they are ABET accredited or not, and then check all their transfer policies, specifically for EE. If you need help you can always email an admissions person in the EE or just engineering department and ask something about which courses would transfer from a CC. You want to get every single transferable course out of the way at CC as it will be much cheaper.
When you get to the 4 year you might have to take some intro or seminar courses from 1st and 2nd year EE, but after that you should be into 3rd year topics, which will be some higher level prereqs and maybe some specialization topics, and then 4th year courses will mostly just be senior design and specialization electives. It is different from uni to uni, but mine offers the following specializations:
-Electromagnetics, optics, and photonics
-Signal processing/communications
-Electronics (analog and digital design)
-bioengineering (biomedical basically)
-Energy/power
-some materials related one

So yeah just start looking into local universities and CCs and see the best options available. If you just want a bachelors and job, just look for the cheapest ABET uni nearby after CC and you should be good. If you want a masters or a PhD (typically for management, project leaders, researchers, professors, and the most cutting edge work) then maybe look for a uni with interesting research going on and try to get experience while in undergrad.

Last note: when you get to uni from CC it can be a tough transition. Courses will be tougher but work hard and go into professors office hours if you need help.

Then should I not go for math?
