<p>hey, I will be attending University of New hampshire as a freshman this fall and my major would be engineering general(computer engineering). I just heard that jobs for computer engineering has almost been outscored. Could you guys please suggest me any other engineering majors most appropriate in present day circumstances.
Also, please let me know if anyone of you have heard about this university and how good is it for engineering particularly???</p>
<p>well lots of jobs have been outsourced, but there still are many jobs. and if you want to major in engineering you should pick one based on which you like the best. experiment theres a chance you wont be engineering major at all, im not trying to discourage you but engineering and CS have very low graduating rates. so if your majoring in anyone of these but you have no intrest in it, beleive me its gonna be very hard to get through it. in short just pick the one you like the best. and as far as outsourcing is concerned those are only the low lever jobs, so if your good at what you do and work hard, heck you should have no problem with jobs.</p>
<p>If you're interested in computer engineering, you might want to check out electrical engineering. It is much more broad then computer engineering and would still allow you to go into computer related fields.</p>
<p>Thank you for your replies. I am personally thinking of majoring in computer engineering. The reason is I am interested in computers, good at mathematics and other sciences and the most important one, I want to do it. However, I heard many of my friends and seniors preferring electrical engineering to computer engineering and like Ian JG told they say its much more broader.
Although I have said I am interested in computers, I am not a computer genius though, not a good programmer and I dont know about any databases. I am good at all the other subjects though, like Math, Physics, and other sciences. Do u think I can manage to learn all those computer stuffs while I am an undergraduate??</p>

you don't have to be a genius to do CS/CE. CS/CE can be one of the toughest majors simply because of the amount of time required esp debugging. If you work hard, you will be fine. </p>
<p>As for EE Vs CE, I must say the job industry for CE is horrible. EE is wider and you can choose from variety of fields. But really, your choice should depend on what you like. Even though I was aware of the market situation, I chose CS because I liked it. </p>
<p>Luckily, you don't have to worry because....whether you choose EE or CE, In the first two years, you will approximately take the same classes which include a few CS and few EE classes. Then you will have a good idea of what degree you want.</p>
<p>how does CE job outlook compare to Mechanical and Structural engineering? I got into CE becasue thats what i wanted to do but now i'm more inclined to the latter two.</p>
<p>Thank you very much guys! Anyone else wants to help me out!</p>
<p>I think EE will give you a wide choice of job options after graudation, however CE jobs though quite limited compare to EE ones, are usually from those big-name companies probably due to the fierce competetion in the field.</p>
