I want to major in Materials Engineering because It interested me a lot after I did some research on it. Im taking a materials course right now and find the material (no pun intended) in the course interesting and want to learn more but the thing is I dropped calculus twice already and am wondering if engineering is right for me. Both times I could of done more to get a better grade but by the time I learned my lesson about how to study It was too late (my grade was too low to bring up). Im thinking about taking calculus 1 over the summer at a community college but now Im worried that I may struggle in calculus 2 which at my school is a really hard class. Im willing to work hard, go to tutoring and put in the effort but Im really nervous. I already am at the risk of taking an extra semester (9) and dont want to be that person who ends up screwed because he didnt know when to quit. For some reason Im really fixated on this major and want to continue, I cant even find another major I would rather do. I dont like business, and the other engineering disciplines would give me the same cross roads. It seems like the math classes are the only thing that are getting in my way. Also I had to take a lot of credits this semester (2 4 credit classes) and I dont really know if studying was my issue or time management. I just want advice on whether I should give up engineering or not.
Also to put some more context into my situation for my second attempt I did really bad on my first midterm (which in my opinion was easier than the second) and then I realized I had to work harder so I spent more time studying and scored higher on the second midterm but still not as high as I wanted.
