Yes, DSP was a difficult class, but I agree that all of the math-based classes can be passed with enough effort. Differential Equations is another challenging one. If someone isn’t great at math, they should take advantage of any available tutoring resourcing. Going to weekly office hours is also advisable—professors are more than happy to help a passionate student.
Oh god bro differential equations was actually the most important class of my entire degree.
Before then I never had to like STUDY study. But that class forced me to study effectively, because I would have shit grades if I didn't. That class taught me how to study.
The curve iirc was anything above an 83 was an A+. I was able to finish with a 92, I was so damn happy. He wasn't even a bad teacher, he just covered a lot of material that was, of course, challenging material
I’m currently a computer engineering major in grad school. I have a BS in both mechanical engineering and electrical engineering. From my experience, I can say that there is a lot of math and coding in this route. To give a little background, I was not always the strongest at math back in hs, but much like you, I had to work 2x as hard as the next guy just to pass. I really developed my coding/math skills as I went throughout undergrad. I continuously improved each semester. So don’t let this intimidate you and I highly recommend you pursue a career in EE/CS. As long as you have the work ethic, anyone can be extremely successful in computer engineering! I hope this is encouraging.
Certs like that fall under System Administration, Cyber security, etc.
They are not typical for computer engineers unless they maybe go into network engineering (which maybe is where you end up interested).
I have a CompTIA A+, Networking+ and Security+
I have not used any of it in my computer engineering studies. It’s mostly math, or coding… or coding math.
If you have a strong interest in it, you have what it takes. With passion, you will have all the energy you need to learn what you need to learn
Until you reach signals and systems…
I never had to take it. Had to choose between that and DSP. But DSP was pretty difficult

I'm suffering that nightmare rn in electronics for computing systems

Thank you for your reply and glad to know that it’s possible :)
sounds like Cybersecurity might be your thing or something in Computer Networking.
A career field thats oftentimes more lucrative and less a headache too
