Good grades in my humanities classes carried my GPA for some of my engineering classes. They required very little effort for me, but other courses were tremendously challenging.

You need to apply your time wisely to m,astering Physics & Calculus, because ALL of your engineering classes will use these two subjects. ALL of them. So it’s not just a matter of eeking through that class.

Make an appointment with your professors for help, or just show-up at office hours. If your school offers free tutoring services, take advantage.

I, too, discovered at college that my high school science classes were woefully lacking. I had to cover twice the material of many of my colleagues. But I did it & so can you.

By the way, I was hired by one of the most prestigious establishments after college. Despite some less than perfect grades. Where I also met my smart & handsome husband 😉 Don’t settle for less!!!

Regarding your internship, it’s still good experience and it will look good on your resume. You can always get another internship next summer, and that will broaden your horizons even more, so don’t worry about that.

About your physics class, that’s a difficult course for many of us. Find resources at your university to help you. Find out about tutoring. Go by the physics department and look for tutoring fliers or ask the administrative assistant. Talk to your professor. Ask him/her what you can do to improve your grade, and discuss the difficulties you’re having. Study for it, as well as each of your other classes every day. Don’t allow yourself to fall behind in class. Do your readings before class and study your notes afterwards. Read the chapters as you’re going over them in class. Don’t wait till the day before the exam to study, as tempting as that can sometimes be. You’re capable – use the great grades you got in other classes to boost your confidence. You just might have to study for certain classes differently than others.

You don’t mention how you’re doing in your engineering classes. That will give you a better idea of your progress. The bottom line is, if you really love what you’re doing, don’t let fear stop you. You’ll always look back and regret not having stayed with it if you find yourself still stuck on engineering years after you graduate. But you know what though? Even if that happens, you can always go back to school for an engineering graduate degree, even if your undergrad isn’t in the field (although you might have to take some prerequisites).

If it gets to the point where you no longer like engineering, then definitely change your major, but don’t do it because of some difficult classes right now. Also, keep in mind that the coursework will increase in difficulty as you progress towards your degree, but it’s doable if you’re enjoying it and look forward to a future as an engineer. If not, let it go and find something else that you love and give yourself a fresh start. Just make sure you’re asking yourself the right questions in addressing your doubts. Good luck.
