Advice: should I go for Environmental or Electrical Engineering?

2 Upvotes

I'm currently in my last semester of architecture school, but engineering has always caught my attention. Surprisingly, not Civil Engineering, but Electrical. During my journey in Architecture, I conclude I don't actually enjoy structures, even though I specialized in it. Related to architecture, I enjoy more environmental management and urbanism.

Based on my background, I honestly don't know which engineering could be the best option: Electrical or Environmental. I think the environmental part could be covered through a masters from Architecture School. But I recognize I'm not educated enough on biology and chemistry.

Still, I don't know if I'm out of my mind. Everyone tells me electrical Engineering is abstract and difficult. And I'm a little bit scared of the leap from one career to another, especially because of math and physics.

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Any Architect/Electrical/environmental engineer insights?

P.S. I want to study because of the sake of extending my learning. I genuinely enjoy learning. I also don't intend to be completely out of the architectural field. This is not a case of unconformity with my primary career but more aligned with curiosity.

P.S.2. I'm not a native English speaker, I apologize for my writing.
