Undeclared to Engineering?

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>Ok so I wasn’t accepted as an Engineer in UCI because, what I believe, is that I have little Math/Physics experience. I am currently taking Calculus AB and I find it to be a little struggling, but that’s only because I haven’t put in the time to study lately (I used to study daily and understand it). I’ve had no Physics classes throughout my high school career.</p>

<p>My objective in UCI is to become an Electrical Engineer, so how hard is it going to be to be able to become it (Given my little engineering background)? Can I still acquire Physics classes and such once registration arrives? Should I take the Calculus Placement exam and the Physics test? I’m talking college classes in general, not specific to UCI.</p>

<p>Basically, what steps should I take in order to become successful as an engineer, given I have no real experience? </p>

<p>I’m ready to work my ass off to become an engineer, but I just wanna know if I’m getting myself into a mission impossible before I make any rash decisions. Engineering is the only major I have in mind and the only thing I can picture myself doing.</p>

<p>Are you entering UCI as an undeclared student?</p>

<p>Here are [requirements</a> to change major to engineering](<a href=“http://undergraduate.eng.uci.edu/handbook/degree/majorguidelines]requirements”>http://undergraduate.eng.uci.edu/handbook/degree/majorguidelines) for students currently at UCI.</p>

<p>Yes, you should take math, physics, and other courses needed for the major you want to change into. But also have a backup major plan in case you are not accepted into the desired major.</p>
