    Computer engineering is the combination of electrical engineering and computer science. Computer engineering majors will take basic circuit analysis classes where they will learn about voltage and current in resistor, capacitor, and inductor circuits.
    They will learn the basics of binary and how computers read 1's and 0's. Additionally computer engineers learn about memory, registers, microprocessors, and more of the computer hardware.
    Computer engineers will then share many of their classes with computer scientists where they will learn computer programming.
    The curriculum will consist of at least learning C and java. C programming can then be applied to programming hardware like robotic vehicles.
    After learning different aspects of programming, computer engineers will have an option to take various elective classes that focus on specific aspects of either computer engineering, computer science, or electrical engineering. Computer engineering is a very flexible major because of having experience on both the hardware and software side so you can cater your career path based on your interests.

    As a BS Computer Engineering Major going into my 3rd year I can give this advice. The math is hard, but I love it. Do not shy away from ANY Engineering position because you think it is "too hard." If it was easy, everyone would do it. Funny part is...everyone CAN do it. Just apply yourself and work hard. The payoff is huge and the pride you get from self-accomplishment is worth it. Good luck.

    I'm a graduating senior in Computer Engineering and the great thing about Computer Engineering is that you fit everywhere in career fairs. Most of the employers who show up have been 40-50% software heavy jobs. Being a Computer Engineer major means you can apply for software and hardware jobs. The only downside to consider is that you are competing with Computer Science majors who specialize in software and vice versa with hardware. One advice for those who are starting out is to make projects. Start small and go big! Also, dont be afraid to be involved in project heavy clubs as they give an insight into what a workplace would be like while giving you some social skills.

      You know those critical thinking problems that students always hate in grade school? While computer engineering dives deeper into math, computer science is filled with that critical thinking. You are confronted with tricky situations very often in programming problems.
      That isn't to say computer engineering will not have these tricky situations, since you need to take computer science classes as a computer engineer and optimization is huge deal in general for engineers, but computer science dedicates its whole entire focus on this.

    I'm starting my last year of Computer Engineering, and for me, I chose my classes in such a way that it's like I'm receiving a full CS degree with a minor in EE. At my school, CE is more like 80% CS and 20% EE. CE is definitely more math intensive than CS because of the EE classes. Although depending on the classes you take, I'd generally say a CE can get any job a CS major can get, but not the other way around.

    This is pretty much straight, however for Senior Design, which are the last classes I took for CpE, we weren't technically allowed to use "development boards," e.g. an Arduino, so we simply removed the ATmega that comes on an Arduino, and we flashed firmware onto it using Atmel Studio and a flashing tool that connects to your computer. The experience was both very fun and frustrating.

    I think many of you are misunderstanding what +MajorPrep is saying regarding the math required in CS. Let me explain,
    As a CS student. I can confirm that his information is quite accurate. Here's what you need to know.
    - CS is most definitely a "math heavy" field, it's just that the math you use for the most part isn't traditional calculus. That math is known as "continuous" math. Rather, you use a very logic heavy (rather than process heavy, like continuous math) math known as discrete math. I will provide you an example to clear it up:
    At my uni (UIC), ECE, ME, CE, and pretty much all other engineering majors take Calc I-III, Diff Eq, Linear Algebra, and Stats along with their physics, Chem courses.
    On the other hand, CS majors take Calc I-III, then Intro to Advanced Mathematics (basically proofs), Statistics, and then choose between a bunch of discrete math courses such as Number theory, set theory, game theory, combinatorics, Formal Logic, Abstract Linear Algebra, and many more.
    So if you're not good at math, CS will suck. However, you don't have to be good at Calculus and Trigonometry to succeed, more so the logic and theoretical aspects of math.
    (Ex: How many prime numbers are there from 1-100, What will var a have to be for (insert series) to converge)
    - Calc I-III as well as the arbitrary science courses you take are just to prepare you for problem solving, not the actual computer science.
    - Some light calculus (mostly diff eq and relative rates of growth) is used in courses such as algorithm design, compiler design, and systems programming (especially operating systems) usually to help you figure out which algorithms are more time efficient than others.
    Note that, as mentioned, it's different at every uni.

      But was easy cuz I picked something I wanted to build for too long Ans start a business with
      So I took this as a chance to start working with it
      After months (was not that stressed really ) finished my project & thesis
      My top advice be passionate about a certain project (example: something you believe if you build will make you rich )
      Ans then study it like crazy way before last years

      0: Electrical Engineering: Study of electronics and circuits (physics meets hardware)
      1. Computer engineering (hardware): Electrical Engineering with more software (less hands-on)
      2. Computer engineering (software): Computer Science with a bit more hardware (more hands on)
      3. Computer system engineering: Not sure, cursory google search makes it seem like CE + IT
      4. Software Engineering: Computer Science but more project-based and less theory
      5. Information Technology: The communications and "people" side of technology, maintaining and managing information flow.
      6. Computer Science: The scientific/mathematic study of computer software and algorithms. Can be more theoretical than the others (academia) or it could be practical (computer programming). A good program will have a mix of both and allow you to concentrate either way IMO
      7. Software developer: More of a job title than a degree IMO, but even more project-based and less theoretical than software engineer, more creating a product than IT supporting the systems it runs on. Effectively "computer programmer"
      If it helps, think of their relationships like a 3D model where you have theoretical/practical axis, hardware/software axis, and math/people-focused axis. EE is high practical hardware math, CS is high theory software math, IT is high practical software people, and the others are somewhere in between
      There's a LOT of overlap though. Depending on the university, computer science, computer engineering, and/or software engineering can effectively be the same degree. Depending on the job position you might be called a software engineer, software developer, computer engineer, computer programmer, even IT specialist and do effectively the same job.
