<p>JGod93,</p>
<p>I graduated from UCI as an EE last year and am now at UCLA for my MS/PhD. EE is an amazing field (you can tell how much I love it by what I’m trying to obtain) so get ready for one heck of a ride! </p>
<p>EE is very mathematical. There is a branch called Systems and Signal Processing that is purely math. In fact, some of the pioneers of this field are mathematicians (aka Shannon Claude). But that’s at the high, theoretical level so don’t worry about it too much =P. </p>
<p>Anyway, transferring into EE should be pretty easy granted you get a 3.0+ in your required courses. Stay on track and fight to get into those pre-req courses (physics, math, programming, etc.) and do well in them. Getting right around the 3.0 GPA may be a little risky since competition becomes worse as you move along your four years so make sure to aim high. However, if you get a low GPA, don’t give up. For me, material started making much more sense when I took real engineering courses so I aced them.</p>
<p>Take the placement exams and catch up on math/science ASAP. Practice learning at a faster pace. Practice performing well on tests. This is my advice. Good luck!</p>
