<p>Is computer engineering harder than electrical engineering? How much more EE would a EE major know than a CompE major? Is a CompE major similar to a double major in Electrical engineering and Computer science? or is it easier?</p>
<p>"Is computer engineering harder than electrical engineering?" No, CompE is just a specialization of EE. It depends on how your college sets up the requirements, and what your strengths are.</p>
<p>"How much more EE would a EE major know than a CompE major? Is a CompE major similar to a double major in Electrical engineering and Computer science? or is it easier?" This probably depends on how you pick your electives, but CompE majors probably take a few more CS classes in place of EE. CompE is close to a mix of EE and CS, but it's definitely not as hard as a double major.</p>
<p>So you could go in depth compE if you double major in CS and EE? Which major is more valuable? Which offers greater opportunities? Which do employers respect more? Which is broader? Say you want to build computer parts for AMD, Intel, HP, etc., which would be better?</p>
<p>Is the best ice cream chocolate or vanilla? Think about this deeply. I think this will answer most of your questions.</p>
<p>I want to choose the hardest engineering major because theres more respect, don't want to do something easy like civil because of lack of respect but I don't want to do chemical because I got a bad grade in chemistry and my teacher said that chemE don't have office jobs which I would prefer to working in the plants or in the field. Some people have said that CompE is harder than EE but I think alot of employers still respect EE more than CompE because they think anything related with computers (like IT or CS) is easier because alot of people is going into computers so EE gets a little more respect mainly due to ignorance and ignoramuses and my teacher said that a CompE degree is short lived because computers changes so much while EE is more stable and better foundation for med, law, or business school and I don't want to be a programmer but I want to know which would command more respect from your peers and employers while still allowing me to work for computer company like HP, AMD, etc.?</p>
<p>Is it chocolate, or is it vanilla? You haven't answered the question!</p>
<p>Each major has special disciplines. We can't evaluate which one is more easier. If you think it's easy, "it's easy" and vice versa.</p>
<p>I meant level of difficulty as in amount of work, concepts, and amount of math and physics required.</p>
<p>"I want to choose the hardest engineering major because theres more respect, don't want to do something easy like civil because of lack of respect"
It is definitely that zerox guy. Ignore.</p>
<p>If you want easy and respectful do a ancient history major or something.</p>
<p>He is Zerox... always ask the same questions...<br>
*Which job makes the most money
*how I get into i-banking
*what is the fastest way to reach my target income
*pharmacy or engineering make more money</p>
<p>I can't see how anyone would be successful if the motivation was money alone. Doctors recieve the most respect in our society. But if these positions are filled up with people that care more about money than their profession, this would be really really cold and sad society.</p>
<p>The majors are both very hard and both very well respected. No one is going to say you "punked out" for not doing one of them. If you definitely want to work with things involving computers do CE.</p>
<p>I want to do CE but I don't want to be a programmer, only want to do strictly hardware. I failed a Java programming class in high school. And I don't want to be layed off or difficult to find jobs when I'm experienced because computers change alot. For some reason, EE seemed a little more respected.</p>

<p>Thats a stereotype. How do you know doctors don't care about money? Are you even a doctor? Doctors receive most respect because of amount of training they go through.</p>
<p>seems like xerox hmm...</p>
<p>You want to take a specific job because it commands respect? Excellence in any job will command a great deal of respect. Whether you decide to pursue civil engineering or computer engineering or any other field, your peers, superiors, and subordinates WILL respect you if you commit to your job and excel.
You seem manic or something. Get a clinical evaluation.</p>
<p>Lol, nice location there zerox. It is him; he talks about the java class he failed. At least he is a little smarter now, a little more low-key.</p>
<p>If I'm getting soft servce, <em>I</em> prefer the swirly kind with both chocolate and vanilla.</p>
<p>Sorry if I'm not serious enough.</p>
<p>Don't read into that that I say you should do CompE instead of CS or EE, I'm just being random.</p>
<p>Hey guys, </p>
<p>Slightly offtopic question: If possible to do, how different is a degree in EE with minor in CS from a degree in CE, or are the differences so minute that I should go into CE?</p>
<p>Thx..</p>
<p>CmpE (computer engineering) is more hardware oriented. obviously you will also have a background in programming, but you are more focused on designing parts & evaluation of hardware tools. computer science revolves around more the theoretical aspects of software design & software engineering. in addition, i think computer science is a bit more theoretical in nature, (many cs majors choose to double major in math as well.)</p>
<p>you dont want to do chem E because you got a bad grade in chem clasS??</p>
<p>excellent reason ( even if it was one of two )</p>
<p>what exactly is involved in an EE major? What kind of things do you study? What kind of jobs are available? Thanks!</p>
<p>which would be better for working for AMD, Intel? EE or CE?</p>
