Many students crash in their first semester or year. What is important is that you respond responsibly and find what steps you need to take to get back on course and what support is available at the school. Our DD tanked her first term and ended up with a mental health withdraw from two classes after the term and after she had failed the courses. Speak w your advisor about options and recommendations. It doesnt sound as though you need to write off engineering so soon.
FullMetalx - Most engineers take the same courses freshman year, regardless of which kind. Be aware that Engineering is HARD.... but many students find the first year the hardest.
Engineering is hard, and the classes don't get easier, but you get better at it with time - a lot of topics come up over and over again, so by the time you're in your last year there will be things that you may have had a lot of trouble with at the start, that you could do blindfolded, with one hand tied behind your back.
It's ok man, as long as you still have the will to fight it out, you can conquer it.
One tip I have for you is to figure out the best way for you to study. This helps you spend less time studying but get what you need out of that time to do well on exams. Also, try to make connections with concepts and material during your lectures. I know it is harder to learn material long after you have copied down the notes because you end up trying to figure out the notes, not knowing right off the bat the right context for the notes you have written, which context you would know during lecture.
You will be fine, most go through a rough exam or two eventually. Just focus on nailing the other exams and you should end up alright.
