Thinkking pattern required for computer science versus pattern for EE

<p>i remember talking to a microsoft rep at a security lecture (when i was interested in CS and ee; times have changed) and asking about the difference between a grad with a CS degree and EE degree and the simple answer was that the two topics are very intertwined now, so there isnt as much of a gap that people make out to be. however, he did prefer EE grads as they “had better problem solving ability”. take from that what you will.</p>

<p>remember, companies dont expect you to come out of college prepared to work. they know they have to spend time (and therefore money) to train you for their specific system and what not. if you show that you are smart (aka can learn quickly) then it goes far more then just memorizing lots of crap and doing well on exams.</p>
