There will be cliches like, ‘everything is easy if you are interested’.
Tough or easy is relative though. From my perspective, it is tougher than mechanical engineering initially because you can realize stuff intuitively with videos and cut sections in mechanical. Once you’re done with that, you can play with imagination, like imagining what would happen if you add a bigger gear and predict results, just to say.
On the other hand, you will have to cover a lot of distance to get to a point where you are able to create and solve circuits and tailor it for your needs.
Let’s compare it to Computer Science. Again from my perspective, CS is a subject that plays with rules made by humans, for computers designed by humans. You have the language, you know the basics and it’s your mastery of it that gets the best out of it.
So it’s more linear in nature.
In mech and electrical, there are a hundred factors that humans cannot confine within the scope of a formula, like the velocity of air and it’s temperature might affect your answer, while in CS your own rules affect your output.
