<p>I would agree. ECE majors who concentrate in computer engineering have the option to work in hardware, software, or computer engineering. And if they want to switch into CS, computer science graduate schools are ready to accept them given that they have a suitable GPA and research experience if applicable.</p>
<p>How about electrical engineering?</p>
<p>^ What about it…?</p>
<p>= =~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>^ Don’t just give this expression, friend 
Address the problem thoroughly. People are here to help. If you would, please elaborate on your question - be more specific, then we can address those problems appropriately.</p>
<p>We don’t want repetitive Q&A.</p>
<p>idk,i am a FOB.
I just want to know what does electrical engineering learn and how about the jobs in the future?</p>
<p>Thank u !!!</p>
<p>EE has a wide variety of subdisciplines. Every EE will know how to do simple DC circuit analysis, AC circuits (RC/RLC, transient analysis), basic digital circuits and transistors, some analog electronics. </p>
<p>Depending on your specialization you can learn a lot of other things such as computer engineering, signals and communications, solid state electronics, antenna/rf/wireless engineering, and some more materials-related disciplines. Some of these disciplines will have more jobs in the future and some (computer engineering) will be more prone to offshoring in the future but still have a lot of opportunities. Overall, doing what you like and are good at will keep you healthy in a competitive job market.</p>

<p>CCNY’s engineering school’s curriculum grids are the most informative!</p>
<p>The order of courses varies from school to school.</p>
<p>There is actually a huge difference between EE and CompE.
Electrical Enhgineering is usually divided into technical areas such as DSP, Communitions and Networks, Control Engineering (dev. of stable, predictable systems), Solid State Devices (nanotechnology, new gen. of transistors, etc), Biomedical, Electronics, etc</p>
<p>Computer Engineering has to do more with Digital systems, Computer architecture, Operating Systems (low-level, hardware stuff), VLSI System Design, Chip development, CAD tools (place/route, synthesis, etc), FPGAs.</p>
<p>Generally speaking, electrical engineers do more math/theory oriented work. Areas such as communications/networks are very theory intensive and require a great deal of probability knowledge (random variables, marcov chains, etc). Control engineering ( and signal processing are also math-based… Engineers in this areas make heavy use of Matlab to run simulation models, FFTs, Z-transforms, transfet functions, etc. Signal Processing deals with the anaylys of continuous or discrete time signals (sound, bio data, images, etc)</p>
<p>On the other hand, Computer Engineering is right in between Electrical Engineering and Comp. science (That is why some EE programs are (ECE, CS) and others are EECS). Typically they have strong programming skills, but also need to know tradeoffs in a digital systems design (performance, area, cost) which means they need to understand Circuit Design theory and Solid Device technology (CMOS, BJTs, etc) to make their design decisions. They use Verilog/VHDL/System C programming languages to develop digital systems. Perl and Python are heavily used for scripting. Comp. Engs that are into CAD tool development try to come with new algorithms to increase the efficiency of the development tools. (ie Candence, Synopsys hire Comp Eng. that are into CAD). Computer architects develop new processors or high-end digital systems that hopefully have higher bit throughput, low latency, higher clk speed, lower power, etc.</p>
<p>I would like to re-emphasize that they are both very different. I am a grad student and I would say that from experience people in EE hate doing/taking classes in Comp. Architecture, Digital System Design while Comp. E hate taking classes such as Linear Systems, Control-Related classes, or Communication related.
EE is arguably the broadest field of any major… so make sure to pick your classes appropriately…</p>
<p>cnation has a point in theory, but in practice, it’s common for employers to draw from all of these buckets for the same or similar job descriptions. In these types of threads, I usually advise the OP to review the course descriptions for the different majors in the catalogs of the school(s) they want to attend, and pick whichever is more appealing. Changing later won’t be a big deal, as you will see a lot of overlap in the first couple of years. Specialization (via department electives) also comes later, so you don’t have to worry about that either. I really wouldn’t sweat this now!</p>
