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!

Hello! I hope everyone reading this is doing well. I am currently a sophomore at the University of Connecticut studying Biomedical Engineering. I am planning my future schedules and want advice in choosing a concentration and minor. My school requires BME majors to select a concentration. I am torn between the two concentrations; Biomechanics & Mechanobiology (first conc.) and Systems, Imaging, & Instrumentation (second conc.). I am also looking into minoring in Electronics and Systems, and most of the courses required to complete this minor overlap with the Systems, Imaging, & Instrumentation concentration. Electronics and systems has been something that I have been interested in for a while, so this pair is calling out to me the most as of late. This past summer, I participated in a practicum where I explored both bio-signals and biomechanics. During this practicum, I was able to build a 3D printed robotic hand while investigating various methods of body-machine interfacing for prosthetic control. Most of the work I focused on was working with flex sensors (which we made) and making things like an instrumentation amplifier, an active band pass, and full rectifier, which were used to make an electromyograph. This experience reignited my passions and curiosity for both biomechanics and bio-signals. This is why I am torn between both concentrations, and which to pair with minor I’m interested in. So, the options I have made for myself are; Biomechanics & Mechanobiology concentration paired with Electronics & Systems major OR Systems, Imaging, & Instrumentation paired with the Electronics & Systems major. I am also wondering on which pair would be the most beneficial for me in industry post-graduation. Any advice helps. Thank you in advance!

Any Advice?

So I warmly invite everyone who reads this that are currently working or worked on biomed to reply to me .I hope that is more accurate and helpful. I wish to have even a few words from everyone.What is you guys opinion on this
