<p>I am not sure which path to take... but I am equally interested in both.</p>
<p>Anybody have any advice?</p>
<p>Also, do I need to have prior knowledge to study either CE or CS?</p>
<p>Computer engineering= half computer science and half electrical engineering.
Computer science= programming + math.</p>
<p>^^^ And what is electrical engineering?</p>
<p>If you don’t mind programming ( c++, and java are the popular languages) choose computer science.
IMHO, I’d choose computer engineering because it’s a broader focus of study and you could easily take the 3-4 additional classes you would have missed from the computer science program after you graduate. Furthermore, you can take the 3-4 electrical engineering classes you would’ve missed after graduation. COMPUTER ENGINEERING ftw…</p>
<p>^^^ Yeah I was originally leaning more towards CE… thanks a lot!</p>
<p>Do a quick google search of “electrical engineering”. Anyways, don’t pigeon hole yourself into compsci. As I stated before, you can easily supplement any deficiencies after graduation or better yet get a masters in either compsci, computer engineering, or electrical engineering.</p>
<p>I strongly suggest you go over the first few pages of this forum. There are a couple CS, CpE, EE posts. Read them.</p>
<p>
No. But nice to have some basic programming, just ideas.
Again, there are hundreds of these threads. Go over them, and narrow down to some specific questions. </p>
<p>The first few pages are the most recentS. They provide good information (in regard to double major, comparing CS, CpE, EE, pre before engineering school, etc).</p>
