I graduated in 1986 in Electrical Engineering. Our class started with about 180 sutdents. Only 30 graduated. I nearly didn't make it, myself. The junior year was rrrrrough. I had four extremely demanding courses at once. It got so that I couldn't keep up with all the homework (8-10 hours a day, even on weekends), so I had to pick one class to just audit, because I couldn't survive all four. The professor for that class (Digital Circuits) saw me not turning in homework, and failing the tests, and he took me into his office, gave me back my test (F!) and told me "you will never be an engineer." But I proved him wrong. Even got on the dean's list my senior year. Anyway, learn how to study, how to take notes, AND visit all of your professors once a week. Get to know them. Make them get to know you. You're paying their salaries. USE THEM.

It used to be a lot harder pre-Internet as well. Digital is so important, and yet its taught so poorly I find. I'm 3rd year now and see the importance of it, but when I was first introduced to Digital, it seemed so stupid and was taught so badly.

@kc cheung University of Akron in Ohio. I was told by a professor that it would be hard. He told us to look around the room. Then said only about 1 in 6 of you will graduate. He said it's because Electrical Engineering is a controlled profession. They make the major hard enough to weed out 5/6 of the class.
