<p>Which major is better to major in if you want to work with electronics? Like audio/visual devices, stereos, TVs, DVD players, DVRs, for example?</p>
<p>I would think that it would be Electrical Engineering, because electronics are composed of circuit boards and such. It also seems like Computer Engineering, maybe Computer Science, since electronics have many different functions and settings.</p>
<p>computer engineering deals with mostly hardware, and software</p>
<p>EE is a very very board field its encompass many fields.</p>
<p>EE is a very very *board** field its encompass many fields.*</p>
<p>Freudian slip much? Indeed, you will be quite bored when doing EE, no doubt.</p>
<p>What, u English major got too much time?!</p>
<p>Quite bored doing EE? No.</p>
<p>Electrical Engineering ENCOMPASSES Computer Engineering. An EE can do a CE's work, and vice versa. However, it may not be true if a CE must do work in electromagnetics of designing communication systems, they've taken the course, which is usually not in the program.</p>
<p>Best way to find out is to look at different programs at different schools.</p>
<p>My son was told in his freshman engineering course that there was only a semester difference between CE and EE so they were encouraged to double major. Just a thought.</p>

<p>That wasn't the case at Georgia Tech. Actually, the majors were almost identical. Cmpe was considered harder because of the requirements for more programming classes. Most people started off as Cmpe and changed to EE. If anything, from my experience, I think it would be opposite and a Cmpe could do EE's work more easily.</p>
<p>Also, we were encouraged not to double major because industry knew our program EE/Cmpe programs were so similar.</p>
<p>It all depends on your schools program. My CE major curriculum is an EE major but with like 3 extra courses. So yeah, a CE major at my school can the same stuff as an EE major.</p>
