   I'm really interested in both of these fields but I'm also not sure if I want to work in software later on and I just want to choose a path that will allow me to do and give me a smoother transition. Do you think electrical engineering would work for that?

   I know you really love EE but at the end of the road you will work on CE. Also, for CE there are many other subfield that you missed: Machine Vision, Signal Processing, Embedded System, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science,…
   The video same as it, are good when you want to decide about major at junior student but when you are senior and starting your job these type of talks are totally nonsence.
   Good Luck

   I'm a licensed Electrical Engineer and planning to take Computer Engineering to gain more knowledge because computer technology is advancing. And the computer related jobs are in-demand. But Electrical Engineering is the best course so far. I just want to expand my knowledge. Just sharing.

   Is there a reason to be a computer engineer despite electrical engineering being more broad? Only thing I can think of is since electrical is more narrow, it could eliminate courses you don't want to take from that route. Any thoughts?

   I personally decided to study electronics and computer egineering. Because of the ideas and visions I have. Plus I am a man that likes to touch and be hands on with components ect.

    Were you ever like me where computer science sounded attractive due to its nature of being strong in mathematics & intellectual challenge, usefulness towards the future & job security so long as you're willing to continue learning and adapting? On top of being able to work from home and anywhere in the world? The only part about it that has me on the fence is the way I imagine just sitting at my desk and doing nothing but coding for hours upon hours. Coding I will say would be fun and interesting to me, even during long periods of time; but not for years & years doing fundamentally the same thing. This has me starting to think about Engineering, and especially EE as I love math, have great focus, interest in learning something challenging while also useful and making myself marketable for the future. I start community college in the fall with courses that will be required for any major, so I still have some time to think about this. As I'm still interested in the software dev side of things, I could possibly learn that on the side or at an institution later on down the road. There's always the option to double-major, but I don't know what kind of time commitment that would be, and how that would effect how thoroughly I'm learning one study vs. the other. I'm leaning towards EE, what do you think?

    Both majors are great I chose computer engineering because I like both software and hardware, and I was mostly interested in the electronics side of electrical which computer engineering has, I am focusing on embedded systems, digital design (FPGA) and IC digital electronics transistor level design in my computer engineering degree, I also liked how my computer engineering classes were usually more practical while my EE classes were mostly analysis and mostly theory till I took my integrated circuit design class with cadence which was really cool however that’s also something I can’t just make at home. If you want to get deep into signals or power systems more tho I would recommend EE more. In my Programm EE and CPE have access to all the same classes if they want to have them as electives, I just liked how CPE went further into robotics and embedded systems

    Update: Got an “Electrical Engineer” Job offer for when I graduate

    I got completely screwed over. CE All the way, but no jobs at all, which shares the problem with CS.
    After a few years I bent over and want EE, but nobody cares now about my applications. EE was great, totally fun with Electrical labs, but nobody gave a crap with a solid 3.5 GPA.

    After 15 years, 100,000 applications to different companies and I no longer care about companies and humanity.
    They only care about money and CE didn't fulfill that description for them.

    I study Computer Engineering, also in my junior year. I can say I love the hardware side of things. Software is cool too. And it is a very versatile degree. I am considering my master's in electrical or computer engineering.

    Electrical engineering requires a general chemistry class which computer engineering don't

    Is it wise to study for 5 years and do a double major in both CE and EE?

    I hate computers, I would go to electrical engineering, I made a mistake to go into software engineering for automotive companies not realizing that I hate it.

    I'm in quite a tough position. They always say choose what you like or what your heart tells you but the issue is I don't know what I like.
    I like to have knowledge on everything but I know that is unreasonable. I have to choose a speciality in something and that's where I'm having trouble.
    I like both the software and hardware side of things so I thought that it'd do best in the major which lies in the intersection of both software and EE, computer engineering. However, I prefer the hardware and EE aspects more than the software and I know that EE is the far more deeper and wider field and that's exactly what I like. At the same time, I'm not particularly interested in the main subfields of EE.
    I have reached the point where I am now required to choose what I have to specialize in for the rest of my life and I am quite conflicted.
    I would appreciate some help and wisdom and thanks!

    Both are great, but i chose CPE because its easier to have a job than EE in my country.

    Believe me , they don’t care about you degree and major, the only things that matter is experience. I have friends with chemical engineering and they are working in electrical major and I have friends with electrical engineering working in civil. I have both degrees , electrical and computer engineering and I have associates in science and still can’t find a job just because I don’t have experience.

    Ok so this is a bit long, but I think all of what I wrote is extremely valuable (not to self-glaze 😂) in this debate for people deciding between these 2 majors:

    At my uni actually, the only
    difference between computer engineering and electrical engineering is that we take 2 more core coding classes while EEs take 2 more core ee classes. But literally all my electives have been “ee” electives such as QM, reconfigurable computing, AI/ML, signal processing, and electronics, so I basically got an EE subspecialization on top of a compE degree. Basically, apart from these differences in the core classes, compEs can take as much and as well as absolutely any classes EEs can take at my uni.

    But I would have to disagree with your take in the video. compE is more broader then EE? Computer engineering can be thought of as a major that “borrows” the EE fields that are the most relevant for computers (like what I mentioned above relating to signal processing, reconfig, embedded, AI/ML. With the right specializations, compE can go directly into an EE or CS job straight outta undergrad. However, even tho an EE could def do CS, a lot of it isn’t directly covered in the degree.

    Not to mention, part of the money-making in ECE is how abstracted you are, bc inherently you can get the most work throughput done the more abstracted you go. An example: a CS scrub who designs a well performing app will make a lot more money out of it then an EE person who spent the same amount of time designing a PCB or IC or something. There’s a reason pure CS jobs are more high paying than pure EE jobs. However, if you do compE, you get to choose ‘abstracted’ specialities (meaning not close to the hardware) meaning they are lucrative, but still have hardware components that ensure you don’t have competition with those billions of CS scrubs. Why? Bc like Ali said, your average person doesn’t have the physics understanding to work with any hardware whatsoever, not only bc it is more math intensive but bc it requires a deep understanding of EMAG. Prime example is embedded, robotics, signal processing, and re-config. Btw, you can attach AI to these above fields and those are valid.

    Just my 2 cents, im a 3.9+ gpa compE.

    Same problem🫡…
    Now i am choosing the department for my future career.i got a 3.672 gpa for my first year so i can choose any department, it is very difficult now😅. Really i like to computer engineering and i also like electrical and electronic engineering. Before coming to the university i have a dream to go to computer engineering department. But now i have a problem, in the future the computer engineering job markets are good or bad due to the Ai?🙄. I can't understand and really i am in big trouble to choose my department…anyone can help me to make a decesion?
