Hello, I am very confuse and I need advice. Here it is, I always loved computers and bricollage. During my free time I always look for stuff to bricoller or I stay at my computer all the time ... I'm in first grade in computer graphics and now I realize that what I really want to do is in the field of electronics. The problem is that I'm not good at math and I wonder if I could improve it when I would do a background in electronic.
Hoping you can help me, THANKS

Hi,

There is just one thing that you should ask yourself. How much do you want it? The field of electronics generally has a very wide range. If your into computers already that could be a good start. I would suggest you clarify which path and specific field you would want to enter. In that way, it is much easier to figure out things.

But what do you like to do when you spend time on your computer? Because you could do graphic design and that has nothing to do with electronics.
What attracts you from electronics? Do you do home projects? Do you enjoy disassembling your computer and putting it back together (I mean a desktop computer)

Btw, you need math to become a good engineer. If you're not good at it you'll have a hard time because college math is dense and has noting t do with the light stuff that you're taught at highschool.

I like soldering and assembling, and yes I love breaking stuff and put it back together... What would you recommend to me? Can I improve my math just doing it 1 year?

If you like breaking stuff and putting it back together then math should be somehow easy for you because math problems usually involve processes where you dissasemble a big problem into simpler easy parts.
Maybe the problem is how you've been taught math so far or maybe you had friends who were dumb and they distracted you from focusing on your classes.

Engineering is difficult but rewarding. If that appeals you then you should find the drive to go through it.

Buy an Arduino kit and play with it, look for tutorials to learn C# or Java to learn basic programming, try to solve problems with that and you'll find if that is nice to you.

Browse through www.instructables.com, you should find fun stuff to do there.

Topic summary

A student currently studying computer graphics expresses a strong interest in transitioning to electronics but is concerned about lacking strong math skills. Respondents emphasize that electronics and engineering require solid mathematical understanding, often more advanced than high school math. However, practical skills such as soldering, assembling, and disassembling hardware align well with electronics work and can motivate learning. It is suggested to clarify specific electronics fields of interest to better focus efforts. To improve math and electronics skills, hands-on experience with Arduino kits and programming languages like C# or Java is recommended. Resources such as instructables.com offer practical tutorials to develop problem-solving and technical abilities. The discussion highlights that math proficiency can improve through dedicated practice and engagement with electronics projects.
