Would google hire an EE?

<p>My question is would google hire an EE major with a significant amount of programing experience seen through a minor in computer science and research in a programming oriented area (Artificial Intelligence).</p>

<p>Also how hard is it to transition from a bachelors in EE to a Masters in CS at one of the UC's (UCLA, UCB, USC, UCSD) Stanford and CMU? I will have taken enough CS courses to get a minor in CS and a couple upper division courses about AI (Machine Learning). Are there any other courses that would be recommended for me to take? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I also wasn’t restricting companies to just Google, any software company: Microsoft, Yahoo, Amazon, Apple ect.</p>

<p>I don’t see why not. At my alma mater, computer engineering was a concentration within electrical engineering. It’s not uncommon for the two fields to be combined into a single department.</p>

<p>Most companies in programming will give potential candidates a programming test during their interview. Regardless of your major, if you do well on the test – then they assume you know what you’re doing.</p>

<p>yes, they will.</p>

<p>I know someone in EE who has done 3 work terms with google. So the answer is yes.</p>

<p>Also do these companies hire with just a bachelors, or is a masters preferred?</p>

<p>BS or MS are both fine for those companies.
I think google MIGHT prefer MS but plenty of people with just BS work there.</p>
