EE and CS

<p>According to this passage from Cal:</p>

<p>How does my choice of programs effect future career or academic growth?</p>

<p>An interest in hardware suggests the EECS route; an interest in double majoring (for example, in math or cognitive science) suggests the L&S route. There is no difference in the CS content between the two programs. The difference is in what else you take: mainly engineering, or mainly humanities and social sciences.</p>

<p>Some students choose EECS because they feel that a B.S. degree is more prestigious than a B.A. This is not a good reason; any CS degree from Berkeley is prestigious enough! If, in addition to CS, you're also interested in philosophy, or literature, or mathematics, or music, you should probably choose the L&S CS curriculum. If, in addition to CS, you're also interested in physics, or electrical engineering, or biotechnology, then EECS may be the better choice.

<p>I am definitely more of an EECS person than a pure CS person. But because it is the case that admission into Cal isn't guaranteed, which program should I be applying to at UCLA and UCSD? Both schools separate EE and CS but I don't want to do pure EE or pure CS so I don't know which one to put down on my application.</p>

<p>At UCSD, apply for computer engineering.</p>

<p>computer engineering and EECS are the same, but if you want a good school don't go to a school on the west coast. haven't you guys ever hear the factual analogy that when people come to America from other countries the idiots tend to roll to the west coast.</p>

<p>@Zohr: What do you mean those idiots roll to the west coast? We have 3 excellent schools for engineering in California which are Stanford, Cal Tech, and Berkeley. Don't be too bias!</p>

<p>lol i goto school and am from the east coast....but their are plenty of good schools on the west coast. the UC system alone has 4-5 great/good good schools, then theirs cal tech stanford and mudd.......both coasts have great schools ;).</p>
