<p>I am a senior.
I am thiking which major i should take?
Can u guys give me some information about these tow majors?
Which major need to spend more time than another and which one is more potential
nowday?What they learn ineed in college?</p>
<p>I m taking AP JAVA,AP PHY,AP ECO,AP STATISTICS &AP CALCULUS.</p>
<p>Thank u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I am beginning to think folks are creating new accounts FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE of asking the SAME repetitive questions.</p>
<p>yea!</p>
<p>what?is this a problem?</p>
<p>I’d sarcastically make a thread begging for help on how to use the search function of the forum, but it might go over some peoples’ heads and make them angry.</p>
<p>Chocolate Mint</p>
<p>I prefer cake batter from Coldstone.</p>
<p>Choose the second one.</p>
<p>glad I could help. Have fun in college! I really hope that I made the right choice for you.</p>
<p>Well, I use to have this problem until I did some research and found out that there are EEs doing CE jobs. Not sure how accurate it is though.
Another reason I chose EE is that CE jobs can sometimes have you doing alot of programming according to what someone told me.
EE appeals to me a bit more anyways. Just do what I did and research, research, research.</p>
<p>Oh, and vanilla Ice cream.</p>
<p>Unfortunately all of the jobs in both of these fields were offshored. Consider studying Art History. We’ll always need Art Historians.</p>
<p>soon, even our souls will be offshored!</p>
<p>

<p>I have made arrangements for self-immolation.</p>
<p>Hmmmm next time make sure you browse through a couple pages (come on we have one right on this page!!!)

<p>and who the hell is Hootenany?? LOL First post on this :)</p>
<p>Who will offshore the offshorers???!!!</p>
<p>I wonder if CC will ever offshore their engineers, if there is any :)?
LOL</p>
<p>Why do people say to either pick EE, or CS, or EECS? Then go on to say CompE is crap because it’s just for those who don’t know what they want to do and doesn’t really give you real depth in either software or hardware so a pure CS/EE/EECS major will beat you out every time?</p>
<p>And by “people”, I mean people not on here. people out in the world of uninformed inferring masses.</p>
<p>I think when people look at the title “computer engineering”, they thought it has to do with fixing computer at first, which sounds like one of those certificates you get as a computer technician. LOL</p>
<p>Another good point would be that the CpE curriculum varies from school to school. But I haven’t seen much of a difference in the majority of CpE program yet.</p>
<p>If you are more of a mathy person EE can be good. If you are more intuitive and like programming, just not enough to want to do it as the sole part of your job, CE might be a better choice.</p>
<p>I never heard <em>that</em> one, Kalookakoo (are you a Zelda character?). I’d always heard that CompE was a perfectly respectable off-shoot of EE which was essentially an EE degree plus extra emphasis on digital logical systems minus the material on power systems. In most colleges, EE and CompE are the same department, or even the same actual degree but with different elective emphasis.</p>
<p>I think people who trash CompE clearly have no clue what it’s all about, or are basing their opinion on a school with a bad curriculum.</p>
<p>The argument usually is that CpE is essentially solely a path to Computer Hardware Engineering which isn’t doing as well as most of the other engineering majors.</p>
<p>And no I’m not from Zelda lol. Out of hundreds of people who’ve seen this username (I use it often since no one ever takes it) only 4 have ever recognized it for what it is/refers to. To be fair though, I find it weird if anyone can recognize it. Even me for remembering it…</p>
<p>I think the CpE gives you a slightly better chance of getting a hardware/software job. Some software jobs offered by the government only want CS or CpE grads. There are other times when they will include IT, systems, and EE. I think CpE will help more for the most competitive jobs.</p>
