Exclamation changing majors

Was doing Electrical Engineering...but having difficulty w/ it and realize that's not what i want to do. more theory than actual hands on. sooooo...i was opting for Electrical eng. TechNology.
but I can also go into Industrial engineering. just having trouble deciding which.
EET pros: similar to what i'm doing now. technical=hands on=easier
have knowledge of some already. time frame 2yrs
cons: only a technical degree. don't know how stable the demand
for them is. also kinda looked down upon from engineering.
technology always changing so have to keep taking classes
Industrial pros: timeframe 2yrs. took one class and got -A. deals w/
management. always able to move up. in the long run
good money. most of my electrical will transfer over.
cons: not sure wether i will be happy doing it 20 yrs from
now. little harder than EET.
well i do know industrial deals w/ improving a company by means of efficiency. lot of number crunching. anyone doing this?? likes or dislikes?

i'm in e.e. just like you, but i really wouldn't go to industrial, its not very good imo, you are mainly learning business concepts that you will learn anyways when you get a job and a company but you are not learning nearly enough of the high math and physics that you'd expeect to for an engineering degree

How many years have you spent in EE?

It does get more hands on from year to year, especially 4th year which is basically just a bunch of labs and projects. You just have to learn ridiculous amounts of theory to get to that point. To be honest - and this is probably the most important part of the post - you won't learn a lot of useful stuff with any undergraduate degree. The real idea is just to learn how to learn, and you'll pick up any real knowledge on the job or during your Master's (if you take one). I would say stick with EE if you've finished 2 or more years of it.

But I can see where you're coming from. I would not recommend Industrial, it's pretty boring and not very educational. I haven't heard of EET, so I can't comment on that alternative.

Im doing Electrical Engineering at a good school. Theres a lot of theory and projects of course, but youll need the theory for when you get out. The hands on shiet will come when you get your job. Electrical engineering is a very broad area so theres no use to wasting time on hands on projects that prolly doesnt relate to ppls field anyway.

I just finished my 2nd year in EE. I'm not exactly loving it but I'm going to stick with it. I agree with DigiNut, the real point of University is to learn how to think, the practical stuff will come when you start working.

actually from what i hear industrial program in my school is pretty good. take same amount of math and physics as EE. (need 60hrs to graduate)
well just finished w/ electromagnetics and circuit analysis. took programming and ECE 2331(which was practically another math class)
I agree w/ the idea of sticking w/ it. but so far I haven't put as much effort as I should or can. so this reflects in my work and i'm going to be in probation next fall.>>also getting to that point where i'm getting burned out. has become less fun. I can always go back. was looking @ industrial b/c I know I can do it and the fact that it was engineering and different.
EET (similar to EE) but just in Technology college and not so theoretical. so if your saying one's undergrad isn't too relevant than take the easier route>>>EET hmmm

you know you also have the option of transfering to computer engineering because computer engineering and electrical engineering have completely idetical courses the first 2 years ; and comp e. is a good deal less theoretical which is what you dont like yes.?
