<p>Any preferences as to which is the best overall? Any trouble with jobs or stereotypes/problems or anything to share with any of them?</p>
<p>from the department web site
We are a major ECE department (ranked 20th among public universities) moving upwards in ranking. We have 700 undergraduates, 185 graduate students and 30 faculty. We offer 2 undergraduate majors (BS in Electrical Engineering and BS in Computer Engineering), a double major in computer engineering and electrical engineering and a 5 year integrated BS/MS program. We also offer a vibrant PhD program encompassing broad areas of electrical and computer engineering. We recently received a new 3 year GAANN award from the US Department of Education. Three junior faculty members of the department received the prestigious NSF CAREER Awards this year. The department has strong collaboration with local industry such as Intel and Lawrence Livermore Laboratory and has numerous research grants from National Science Foundation, Department of Energy and DARPA. </p>

Distinction Between CE and CSE
Both the Computer Engineering (CE) and the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) programs study the design of digital computing systems of all types and both contain a hardware and a software component. For the CE program, the hardware component begins by providing a background in electromagnetics, device physics and linear system theory and then proceeds to cover transistor-level circuits, gate-level circuits and computer architecture. The hardware component of the CSE program covers basic gate- level design and computer architecture. On the software side, both programs cover material from operating systems to assembly language, but the CSE program has more extensive coverage and also includes courses on algorithm design, the structure of programming languages, compilers and software engineering.</p>
