Chance me for UCB EECS! Will chance back

<p>Yes you have better chance as l&s CS. When I get access to a computer I will describe what EE does and some of them are not even hands on.</p>

<p>I would be very surprised if you got rejected for Computer Science at UCB. </p>

<p>I would not be surprised if you didn’t make EECS at Cal. It is significantly harder to get into than LNS. That being said, your chance is not bad- but you can’t count on an admittance. </p>

<p>Lots of students apply to UCLA Computer Engineering and Science and UCB just CS. That way, if admitted to both, you can decide which is more important to you: UCB or Hardware. </p>

<p>Hmm, interesting, thanks for the perspective.</p>

<p>@DrGoogle‌ I’d love to hear your description of EE. Thanks!</p>

<p>Also, can anyone else give a description of the difference between EECS and CS L&S graduates in the industry ability/skill wise?</p>

<p>This is the link for jobs from EECS 2013 from UCB
<a href=“https://career.berkeley.edu/Major/EECS.stm”>https://career.berkeley.edu/Major/EECS.stm&lt;/a&gt;
The Catalog is here
<a href=“http://general-catalog.berkeley.edu/catalog/gcc_list_crse_req?p_dept_name=Electrical+Engineering&p_dept_cd=EL+ENG&p_path=l”>http://general-catalog.berkeley.edu/catalog/gcc_list_crse_req?p_dept_name=Electrical+Engineering&p_dept_cd=EL+ENG&p_path=l&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>So you can see from the list, more software job than hardware.Out of the list only 2 jobs that are from Hardware companies like Apple and Qualcomm. Both have something to do with chip design or chip verification. These positions are mostly computer based, ie all the work is from your computer. Maybe, you may get to integrate or trouble shoot in the lab and that’s the hands on part. Most of the time, they have separate team to do the integration and testing. </p>

<p>The other hardware job, which is a little bit more hands on, is board level design but that was far and few jobs years ago and it will be a lot less now.You might need the EE theory like digital signal processing, digital communications, Electromagnetic waves and theory.
So I’ve done all three, I think the last type of EE job is fast disappearing.
I wonder if you can take these EE courses without having to declare EE if you find them interesting.
Also Nest is the other hardware company that was purchased by Google and has lots of EECS. But overall from the list of 2013 UCB, mostly software engineers.</p>
