<p>I know compe and ee are basically the same but what I'm scared of is the job outlook and how's it's going to be when I graduate, I'm currently wanting to do EE becuase I want to invent stuff and test and be able to build stuff but also I want to program them so I can make them do what I want Idk how job outlooks on compE and I would major in it busy scared but would it just be easier to major in EE minor is CS. I don't care about money really as long as I have enough to provide and I want to love what I'm doing. HELP! </p>
<p>What about EECS? And I’m pretty sure there are plenty of jobs for CompE. </p>
<p>EECS? What is that? That a double major? </p>
<p>It’s a combined program in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, but not a double major. I know that it’s the most popular program at UC Berkeley and a lot of other colleges, which also makes it hard to get into, but yeah.</p>
<p>Ill look into it and thank you</p>
<p>At the school (Big10 Midwest University) that my boy is attending (senior), EECS (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) is one of the departments in the College of Engineering. The EECS is broken down into three different programs (electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science). Although there is an overlap of classes, mainly in years 1-2, the classes during your junior and senior are more specialized. He is focusing more on the computer engineering aspects (EE+ CS) whereas EE and CS become more divergent in years 3-4 </p>
<p>Is he worried about not getting a job after he graduates? </p>
<p>Honestly, @Kcxbc123, it’s very easy to get a job if you go into any of those three fields…</p>
<p>Don’t worry at all - you can decide your sophomore year or later among the three.</p>
<p>I switched majors among those three as a college student (and changed back in graduate school). Electrical Engineering, ComputerEngineering and Computer science are close enough - you don’t have to decide now (except for a few big public Universities). Don’t worry at all about which to pick now. I knew a classmate who switched to CS his final year (from EE) - it is not a big deal at most private universities to switch majors among those tightly related majors. Probably at least 1/2 of EE coursework (and far more in the first 3 semesters) overlaps with Computer Engineering at most colleges.</p>
<p>“About 80 percent of students in the United States end up changing their major at least once, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. On average, college students change their major at least three times over the course of their college career.”</p>
<p>Yea I guess I’m just over thinking and stressing it. I just want to be able to build and create and maybe even get to program it. Thanks you guys.</p>
