Computer Engineering

<p>Can someone give me an idea of thr program offered at ga tech? I Also want to know if the program is more electrical engineering sided</p>

<p>I’m a comp. e major at Georgia Tech. Just finished freshman year.
So far, all the classes I’ve taken and will be taken are more Electrical sided, but I’ve been told that after I finish most of the “shared” classes, I’ll get to take topic based classes. Basically within the ECE curriculum are specialty courses where you could take classes like computer hardware, nanotech, circuit theory, etc. </p>

<p>Oh btw, classes are pretty rough if you don’t have the “mind” for it. x_x</p>

<p>is it because you chose to take more electrical sided classes or because thats the path there!</p>

<p>Just got out of Tech with a BSEE this past weekend.</p>

<p>During my time there, there was almost on difference between CompE and EE. The difference being your 3 breadth classes were chosen for you if you were CompE (they are all CompE-related).</p>

<p>Now I hear that they will do away with EE-specific classes, such as the course on Electromagnetism (E-Mag) for Comp-Es. They do have other changes in mind to distinctly separate CompE and EE but I haven’t heard much.</p>

<p>In addition, not that it matters now, they are in the talks of stretching Senior Design across 2 semesters instead of the 1 that it is now.</p>

<p>I graduated with a B.S. in EE from Tech in May 2010. The only thing that I noticed with my CompE friends was that they had pre-determined breadth (3000-level) electives. Those classes (ECE 3035, 3055, and 3060 I believe) are available to EEs as well, but CompEs must take them. I think they are more related to assembly programming, computer architecture, VLSI, etc.</p>

<p>On a side note, I cannot imagine having done Senior Design over two semesters. I do not understand the rationale behind that. Most people finish their projects, so it’s not like more time is needed.</p>
