<p>Is there such a major at Berkeley? I know there is an EECS major which focuses on Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, but is there one that focuses on just computer engineering? My uncle was a computer engineer major at SFSU and had a degree in both hardware and software. I would like to follow his path and major in compute engineering, preferably the hardware side because computer science doesn't seem to suit me.</p>
<p>At Berkeley, both the EECS (College of Engineering; Bachelor of Science) and CS (College of Letters and Science; Bachelor of Arts) majors allow considerable freedom to choose one’s junior and senior level courses. CS requires at least 6 junior and senior level CS courses; EECS allows choosing from EE or CS courses for the required junior or senior level courses.</p>
<p>Description of the EECS and CS degree programs:

<p>A student interested in computer hardware would probably be most interested in taking CS 150, 152, 162, 250-series (graduate level), 194 (depending on topic), EE 130-series, 140-series, 240-series (graduate level).</p>
