I’d like to know what you guys think. Other than combining 2 things I find interesting, it is ranked #5 on payscales highest paying bachelors. I plan on moving on to management later on since the salary will plateau, so will this eventually matter?
CSE is a good major. It’s basically a CS major offered by an engineering school. The CS major’s popularity has skyrocketed recently.
Is there any particular advantage to taking computer engineering over computer science and engineering or electrical and computer engineering? Is there any reason one would do just computer engineering
What do you mean by computer science and engineering?
It’s one individual degree that some schools offer
It doesn’t matter which of these majors or combination of majors you choose. Just pick the one that you can make the best grades in and enjoy.
Sometimes they just have to add the “and Engineering” part at the end for ABET accreditation purposes. As stated, CSE is really just a computer science major, where you fulfill common requirements with other engineering major (e.g., math, physics).
You guys are all speaking in absolutes, but every university handles this question a bit differently. Sometimes it is one degree. Sometimes it’s the name of one department that offers both computer science and computer engineering degrees. You really have to look at it on a case by case basis.
Totaly agree, it’s better to define what exactly you’d like to learn and look into majors’ curricula
Computer engineering is usually a totally different degree than a computer science or a computer science and engineering degree. It involves more EE classes than a CS/CSE degree would typically have.
So the spectrum kind of goes CS <-> CSE <-> CE <-> EE
