I like Network Security - BS in Computer or Electronic Engineering?

<p>I'm into networking. I like dealing with security related to it. So from anyone's personal experience or knowledge, which of the two field would better suit my needs? Computer Engineering or Electronics?</p>

<p>I'd first want to learn about the physical level, like circuits, hardware, etc. and then software. It could get security certifications. I just don't feel like diving straight into a degree in security without knowing how the external components are built, how it works and communicates with softwares. Any ideas? thanks.</p>

<p>I think you would be better of with a BS in Electronic or Computer Engineering Technology. You should also looking get the CCPS from Cisco.</p>

<p>You are trying to cover a pretty big area. Perhaps a BS EE/CS as a foundation followed by a masters focusing on security, data communications and networks. If you want to learn particular products, then a technology. If you want a focus on managing networks, then something in CIS. It is hard to imagine someone with all of these skills.</p>

<p>jackdanr…i want exactly what you want. :frowning: why can’t we know everything?? it bothers me. good luck!</p>

<p>I’ll probably attend DeVry or a university which I’m not sure right now. Looking at these 2 programs offered by DeVry, which would seem like the better, or do they look the same? The course looks very similar. </p>

<p>CET - [Computer</a> Engineering Technology Degree - CET | DeVry University](<a href=“http://www.devry.edu/degree-programs/college-engineering-information-sciences/computer-engineering-technology-about.jsp]Computer”>Bachelor's in Engineering Technology Degree | DeVry University)
EET - [Electronics</a> Engineering Technology Degree & Careers | DeVry University](<a href=“http://www.devry.edu/degree-programs/college-engineering-information-sciences/electronics-engineering-technology-about.jsp]Electronics”>Bachelor's in Engineering Technology Degree | DeVry University)</p>

<p>btw, why is the “… of Technology” added? Is there a difference compared to other universities offering BS in Electronics Engineering?</p>

<p>oh boy he so pringles where yo girlie moustache at</p>

<p>Technology means that you learn how to use current products. In university courses, you learn theory which is useful for your entire career. “Technology” can get you a fairly well-paying job quickly - maybe more quickly than someone that learns theory and some practice.</p>

<p>There are very big differences between the programs that you are looking at and I don’t think that you understand the related differences between the programs or the potential jobs and careers.</p>

<p>I see. Thank you for the information, especially why techonology is what it is compared to a university degree.</p>
