What do you guys think is the hardest part about Electrical and Computer Engineering? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Like the question says, what do you think? Personally, I'm a high school senior so all I can say so far is E&M. I'm taking AP Physics 2 and self-studying both the Physics C courses. This basically gives me awareness because I like to take on challenges. Feel free to say your thoughts!

I want a career in electrical engineering and microelectronics. What skills and experiences should I focus on in college to stand out to top universities and future employers? #Fall25

I’m currently a freshman in college and interested in electrical engineering, especially designing and repairing microelectronics like phones, consoles, and computers. I want to know which skills, projects, internships, and study habits will help me stand out to top universities and future employers in this field. I’m motivated to start building experience now and want guidance on the most effective steps. #Fall25

What is the most important thing I should learn about/be doing right now as I aspire to be an electrical engineer as a complete beginner?

I have prior knowledge (through some high school physics) of simple laws and circuits, voltage, current, etc. I recently invested in this book called "Practical Electronics for Inventors" and I think its fantastic, but, what should I really be focusing my time on to be ready for this scary college major?

As an electrical engineering major, what steps can I take to apply my engineering/circuit knowledge into real-world projects I want to design some circuits and potentially integrate hardware with Arduino?

I would like to build out my portfolio and start my own technology-based business in the future; however, I feel as though I do not have enough hardware/hands on experience with technological design... I was just curious about how to expand my knowledge on this topic independently.
