>>12153745The harder EE classes from what I've heard are their version of EM that they take Junior and Senior year, their fourier analysis courses, and the diff eq classes. Just doing well in the general degree req classes for freshman is no guarantee of anything. Keep in mind all STEM majors have to take those. A good way to test these things out is to talk with grad students, professors, advisors, and with people working in the industry especially about their undergrad. Use the wiki page, linked in the sticky thread at the top of the front page, go to the engineering page for textbooks. Acquire some of the basic texts and dig into them. If you have trouble ask questions in /sqt/, if you have a specific engineering topic you're curious about, think about it and when you've reached an impasse make a well-organized and thoughtful thread about it and wait for responses. Only time will tell, from what I have gathered working on projects and tinkering are important for programmers and engis, so make sure you actually like doing the thing itself as much as the idea of studying it.
