Electrical Engineering

Bruce Chen · Master's

Flexible major suprisingly, more like general engineering in my experience as undergraduate. Offers extremely wide range of courses in enginnering field. Might differ from many people's expectation, if you don't love math/theory that much, you can still find something interesting in this major. However, double a major in apply math might be beneficial if you got extra time.

Hardware & software both involved so easy to transfer to other tech major and more options for students

EE lets you become very specialized but still have many options to pursue. Also great as an intersection between fields.

I wanna recommend eve to other students, meanly because the professor and the lab opportunity that usc give us.

The major is pretty fun and interesting, delving into hardware and software.

I had always been curious about how things work “behind the scenes.” How does a signal travel across the world in a fraction of a second? How does a tiny microchip control an entire system? How do we convert renewable energy into usable power? Electrical Engineering provided a path to answer these questions while giving me the opportunity to design solutions myself. Another major reason was career flexibility: EE graduates can pursue roles in electronics, semiconductors, aerospace, software, hardware, and even finance or consulting.

Honestly, terrible professors, boring, major, not worth it

Intersectionality is great, lots of career options, very intense and can be overwhelming.
