<p>i m a asian.
I think i am good in math and physics.
but i don't know choose what engineering major.</p>
<p>Can sb tell me what exactly they do,and how about jobs in the future.^^</p>
<p>Search button is there… not trying to be a meaine though.
I am an asian too. But that has nothing to do with engineering, and in fact, being asian doesn’t necessarily mean you are good in math and physics. As a Chinese, I realize you are too, should take caution of stereotyping. You should only choose engineering if you are really interested in it.</p>
<p>If you may, you can take a look at the two curriculum.</p>
<p>Computer Engineering (CpE)
<a href=“http://www1.ccny.cuny.edu/prospective/gsoe/computer_engr/upload/CpEOv6-Fall09-Spring10-010810.pdf[/url]”>http://www1.ccny.cuny.edu/prospective/gsoe/computer_engr/upload/CpEOv6-Fall09-Spring10-010810.pdf</a></p>
<p>Electrical Engineering (EE)
<a href=“http://www1.ccny.cuny.edu/prospective/gsoe/electrical/upload/EE0-Fall09-Spring10-Curriculum.pdf[/url]”>http://www1.ccny.cuny.edu/prospective/gsoe/electrical/upload/EE0-Fall09-Spring10-Curriculum.pdf</a></p>
<p>I will also offer you Computer Science
<a href=“http://www1.ccny.cuny.edu/prospective/gsoe/OUA/upload/CscO-v4-Fall09-Spring10-010810.pdf[/url]”>http://www1.ccny.cuny.edu/prospective/gsoe/OUA/upload/CscO-v4-Fall09-Spring10-010810.pdf</a></p>
<p>Take a look and compare them. You see that Computer Engineering take both CSC and EE classes. In fact, as a CpE myself, I take almost all 1000+ to 3000+ courses with the EE and CSC students. By the time you reach junior year, you should notice that EE and CSC students are told to take “electives”. The smart one will use these to build concentration, unofficially. </p>
<p>CpE does software and hardware at the level of computer. Note the term computer is a general term to describe any digital system that does something, i.e. the digital device inside your microwave is a computer. The general public thinks Computer engineers only deal with the computers that we use, which is a misconception. But most jobs, I suppose have to do with computers that we use, or related subjects. Moreover, some people think Computer Engineers troubleshoot computers…</p>
<p>In fact, both CpE and EE involve from as tiny as CPU development, to as large as satellite and beyond. This says both software and hardware involvement, depending on the specialty.</p>
<p>As a CpE you may claim (in fact anyone, regardless of major) yourself as a software engineer (it’s a very general term, a job title). But you can’t say you are an EE with CpE knowledge. You can do software side if you wished, regardless of your major, as long as you know your stuff really well. </p>

<p>The jobs in the future? Don’t panic. There is time for bad and good economy, and to be exact: Nobody knows about the future. The BLS data from the Department of Labor is a prediction (I believe they interview some companies, and also studied the trends). </p>
<p>It’s hard to find out your interest. I don’t have any particular interest. I like physics and mathematics because I like to unfold the mysterious that nature hides from me. That’s enough for me to study engineering, in a way to compensate my thirst for knowledge, both theoretical and applied.</p>
<p>In addition, take a look at the list of areas that computer engineers may involve.
