<p>So I'm applying to the UCs as alot of engineering majors (Civil, Electrical, Mechanical)</p>
<p>UC Santa Cruz only offers Electircal so I'm applying as that but was wondering what's the difference between </p>
<p>Electrical Engineering
-Communications, Signals, Systems, and Controls</p>
<p>-Electronics/Optics</p>
<p>Electronics/Optics sounds more vocational to me but if we’re talking about UCs then I don’t believe there would be a difference. All of the things you listed are part of EE with communications, signals, systems, and controls being mathematical and electronics and optics being physics. Can you link to the specific programs?</p>
