<p>Would you consider Cpe the best engineering degree?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>1) It would be an awful LOT of work, and
2) Most companies like you to work on just their job, so you’d have to leave at least some of the other jobs for other people. :-)</p>
<p>Well considering the EE job I have post graduation would not hire a CoE for my position, no. Not everything overlaps between the two…</p>
<p>Actually alot of EE takes CompE and CS jobs…</p>
<p>I have never seen CompE in utility companies but I do see EE in alot of computer jobs</p>
<p>A CE major takes some CS and some EE classes. The problem is that a CS major, all else being equal, will have taken more CS classes than a CE major, and an EE major will have taken more EE classes than a CE major.</p>
<p>So what happens is that only some EE jobs and some CS jobs are open to CE majors, and some EE jobs and some CS jobs are not open.</p>
<p>All jobs are open to all majors, laws and regulations aside. Whether a person with a certain major will be more or less competitive than another person with a different major depends on so many factors as to make discussing this moot.</p>
<p>If I were a betting man, I’d say that CompE majors go into CS jobs, more than EE majors go into CS jobs, more than EE majors go into CompE jobs, more than CS majors go into non-CS jobs. My reasoning? There are huge discrepancies between the numbers of EE, CompE and CS jobs:</p>
<p>EE has ~294,000 jobs in 2010;
CompE has ~70,000 jobs in 2010;
CS has ~2,580,000 jobs in 2010.</p>
<p>CS had about 7 times as many jobs as CompE and EE combined. By the numbers, people are probably taking jobs in CS at a higher rate, even from other disciplines. (I wonder whether enrollment statistics support the possible rebuttal that there are 7 times as many CS majors as there are EE/CompE majors… frankly, I seriously doubt it).</p>
<p>I agree, there are so little CompE jobs out there.</p>
<p>There are a few universities now that dont even offer CompE majors anymore, they just offer minors instead due to low demand</p>
