I'm a EE major and decided to minor in computer science off of a whim after taking a microcontroller class (because my coding skills were trash). My minor consisted of all of the CSE courses that CE majors needed to take, with the addition of algorithms. Actually decided to take Computer Networking as an elective. My school doesn't offer an ECE degree but after seeing this I'm pretty disappointed that even with the extra 26 hours and similar classes I'm ending up with a minor and not a double major.
I just started my freshman year of college, and I'm considering either EE or CS (or something else, who knows). Thank you so much for making these videos; they help clarify the differences between these fields.
Some schools they call their mechatronics, Computer engineering technology which is this plus mechanical engineering and more ee and the cs is mixed with everything to allow more ee and ME
In my experience, a solid understanding of probability analysis is equally important. Statistical analysis is fundamental to design theory. If one were to choose engineering as a career, I would highly recommend studying this. Behind nearly every great mathematician, physicist, or engineer, lies a great statistician. Great video, btw!
as someone who studies electrical engineering at a german university it is quite interesting to look at your system. it really is quite different in some aspects and very similar in others. for example we only have to do one of these "general education" courses during the entirety of our Ba degree and a second one for our Ma degree. in addition i think i prefer your trimester system to my semester system. then you dont have to learn as much for your exams, but have more of them.
Hey, Zach, considering that this channel is centred around being prepared for and understanding different college majors, I believe that you should make a video on what it is like for a college student to switch from one to another. This is a problem that most students face throughout their schooling and I think that it would be very beneficial to your viewers if you made a video on this topic. This has also become a personal problem for me as I am already starting to doubt my choice as a Bio major (I start this fall at CPP).
Great idea! Really appreciate the suggestion and I think it’d be good to find multiple people who’ve switched majors and have them talk about it. Then I can give a summary as well
Most college and university websites show which courses are required for which majors. If you really want to know which courses are required you should talk to the staff at your school and they may be able to tell you where to go to find requirements for certain majors. This can also give you an idea of how major requirements differ from college to college if you look at multiple school websites.
Can you make some more comparisons esp. between EE and CE. And I will have no problem at all watching a full 30 minutes video. as a high-school student, your channel gave me a LOT of information for choosing my major 2 years later for university, so thank you for your effort.
Wow, great video as always!! Will you do a video about avionics/aircraft electronic and electrical systems careerpath in future?(What subfields of EE are in demand there the most, advice for EE grads who would love to work on aircraft electronics etc) Thank you again for your awesome work, you're really helping many students!
I am soooo excited to begin electrical engineering in the fall!! I am slightly nervous that I might fit better into a different engineering discipline, like computer or aerospace, but I’m looking forward to explore my interests in the next few years. Thank you for your advice!!
I don’t mean to be a downer folks but I just got off the phone with the suicide hotline 30 minutes ago. comp sci sucks i have no will to live good luck out there loves. Wishing you the best!!
Thanks for the knowledge. In all other countries they teach computer science and computer enginneering as different course while in India they teach both in a single course - Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). I myself a CSE undergrad. Now I understand why is it so.
It really is haha. Go for the robotics section of CPE 123! You'll likely get a survey about your interests so that they can put you into an introductory programming class and I would highly recommend going for robotics. You get to keep the robot.
I graduateed from Cal Poly Pomona As EE. This video just reminds me of all the nightmare Finals and project I went throw. I was so smart back in school lol
I’m a student at Cal Poly currently in electrical engineering, and I’ve been worried about if I should transfer to computer engineering for my career interests. However, from reading this I should be fine as long as I just tailor my interests to include extra computer science courses.

Youbie you are right, it depends on the school. At Cal Poly they aren't similar. However at UC Berkeley, University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MIT, etc, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering are combined into one program EECS.

I'm taking mechatronics my first semester a class where i got to build my own digital trainer, and one for circuit schematics on autocad then lastly electrical circuits class where we learned how to use osciliscopes function generators and other basic tools on circuits we made ourselves. second semester i'm taking Mechanics , physics 1 , and i got to take precal cuz i was lazy in highschool, then i'm taking logic systems with python. that was just first year at an associates which i'm lazy so it is only 25% of the associates degreee.... then i move on to my schools version of Computer engineering technology major which has a prerequisite of Calculus 2 which would be calculus 4 in other schools(my schools has 2 semestersa year ). In my school CET(Computer engineering technology) is basically mechatronics engineering.
And also please can you make a video on chemical engineering, im more interested in electrical because I want to work in satellites, rockets communications, drones etc, but my dad is a chemist and naturally he advices me to do chemical engineering 😂😂 saying that it’s much more demanding as in they need them more, so whatever you have time a video on how chemical engineering differs from electrical engineering and what classes each have to take would be sooo awesome, anyways love the channel so much
Would be happy to do more videos on that! Just so you know chemical engineering and EE are very different majors. It would be me mostly just talking about their differences. The similarities would be pretty minimal. There is some overlap in control systems for sure though.
all those classes look like too much theory, technology courses are much cooler but make sure you choose a school with the calculus and differential equation classes so you can also do engineering jobs since you get payed more but the difference is youll have funner classes and you will have much more experience. best schools offer 50/50 theory and hands on.
Technology degrees are much more easier than engineering degrees plus your completely disregarding computer engineers who build computers and much more.

@MajorPrep. Do you have any experience with student branches of the IEEE? I was thinking of joining the one near me to fill in the blanks of knowledge I don't have since I took my computer courses at a community college. I was also planning on joining the school's hacking club.
Computer engineering will get you a wider variety of jobs, but most of them veer towards computer hardware. Software engineering is all digital. If i had the choice i would do computer engineering, but you decide if you like more hardware or more coding.
I’m a computer engineering major and I would suggest in you’re planning in going to grad school choose computer engineering as an undergrad and master in computer science. That way you gain some background in hardware. Don’t do it the other way around because it’s harder to get into the masters in computer engineering than computer science since computer science don’t get engineering or hardware knowledge at all
@@jenniferxd8900 please suggest me, I'm freshman of Batchelor in EEE now , but seeing salaries and remote job facilities in cs, my mind forces to change the major but it's impossible in my uni . What should I do? Should I do Masters in cs after Batchelor, won't it be problematic as I won't be having 4 years of basics of CE? Please enlighten me?
@@RLleeo if you can switch now to Computer engineering do it , and choose as most programming classes you can as your electives , Find an internship also as you as you’re in your junior year. I didn’t do that and it’s been difficult getting into any entry level job
So I have a question regarding electrical engineering as I am currently in the digital systems class. We use a program for our assignments called Xilinx ISE, which is a windows only program. My question is do you use this program in later classes such as microcontrollers or circuits? Reason I ask is Im using a macbook and am heavily considering getting a windows laptop if Xilinx used more throughout the major, thanks!
I would strongly consider it. I had to use Quartus and PSpice in circuits and digital design. And again in more advance classes. For microcontrollers, it was code composer studio. I don’t recall if code composer was available for macs. I don’t believe it was. I don’t remember seeing any students on a Mac in microcontrollers. Alternatively, you could just dual boot.
Hey MajorPrep. I love your videos and your channel. I am torn between Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I am hoping that you can give me some advice. Please and thank you for your time.
it is very much so typically computer engineering is focused on the hardware side of things with a few sprinkles of software development thrown in its common for places to offer dual majors for computer and electrical engineering because of this
Cydi it really depends on your focus, obviously there is a design aspect to robotics which is pure EE, since it involves control systems and microprocessors etc but this is an option I believe for CE and EE majors. CSCI majors don't need to know that background I believe (could be wrong), for them AI would be more of pattern recognition and sensing estimations.
Going to Cal Poly SLO as a rising EE freshman next year. Got any tips/tricks/recommendations/etc? Best video ever for someone going to slo as a freshman... going to share it with my friends :)
If I want to work on drones, machine learning, computer vision, robots and similar work, would it make more sense to study Computer Engineering or Computer Science? The Computer Engineering degree at my Uni is moreso focused on Software then it is on hardware btw. Like 75% software, 25% hardware. And the two specializations in the degree are either Distributed systems and networks, or Computer vision and AI. And would I need the Masters degree before I'm qualified to build the beforementioned things ?
I love all your video. All of them are very nice and informative. I have a request for communication engineering. Need help for that of you don't mind.
Thanks for the request! I'm guessing you are located outside the US cause it's really not a common major here. But I'll see what I can do about getting it!

Doing electrical engineering and im switching to compsci
Reason
HTTT hell yeahhh RH fan here high 5
please do a video on how to making a carrier in robotics,nanotechnology,biomedical,aerospace engineering (anyone) and which branch to choose.I personally think mechanical engineering would be a right choice but I want to know from your side (please).I am from India.
It depends on the degree and curriculum
bachelors degree and curriculum this might be the example www.bits-pilani.ac.in/uploads/Pilani_Upload/Placement%20Unit/First%20Degree%20Courses/B.E/BE_Mechanical.pdf
@MajorPrep. Do you have any experience with student branches of the IEEE? I was thinking of joining the one near me to fill in the blanks of knowledge I don't have since I took my computer courses at a community college. I was also planning on joining the school's hacking club.
So is computer engineering is good or software engineering
Computer engineering will get you a wider variety of jobs, but most of them veer towards computer hardware. Software engineering is all digital. If i had the choice i would do computer engineering, but you decide if you like more hardware or more coding.
I’m a computer engineering major and I would suggest in you’re planning in going to grad school choose computer engineering as an undergrad and master in computer science. That way you gain some background in hardware. Don’t do it the other way around because it’s harder to get into the masters in computer engineering than computer science since computer science don’t get engineering or hardware knowledge at all
@@jenniferxd8900 please suggest me, I'm freshman of Batchelor in EEE now , but seeing salaries and remote job facilities in cs, my mind forces to change the major but it's impossible in my uni . What should I do? Should I do Masters in cs after Batchelor, won't it be problematic as I won't be having 4 years of basics of CE? Please enlighten me?
@@RLleeo if you can switch now to Computer engineering do it , and choose as most programming classes you can as your electives , Find an internship also as you as you’re in your junior year. I didn’t do that and it’s been difficult getting into any entry level job
Lol cal poly flowchart..I dig it
Can you do Computer information systems and Computer Science?
lmao these are the 3 actual choices I have right now
well, update?
@@Tururu134 update? lul
update plz
SAMEEEE 😩
Update
Please do Software Engineering!
So what you are saying is I should major in EE, CS, and Mathematics?
and physics
So I have a question regarding electrical engineering as I am currently in the digital systems class. We use a program for our assignments called Xilinx ISE, which is a windows only program. My question is do you use this program in later classes such as microcontrollers or circuits? Reason I ask is Im using a macbook and am heavily considering getting a windows laptop if Xilinx used more throughout the major, thanks!
I would strongly consider it. I had to use Quartus and PSpice in circuits and digital design. And again in more advance classes. For microcontrollers, it was code composer studio. I don’t recall if code composer was available for macs. I don’t believe it was. I don’t remember seeing any students on a Mac in microcontrollers. Alternatively, you could just dual boot.
Hey MajorPrep. I love your videos and your channel. I am torn between Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I am hoping that you can give me some advice. Please and thank you for your time.
Just do ce lmao it's basically both
Can you do a video about mechatronics vs physics
Computer Engineering looks like a mix of cs and ee
it is very much so typically computer engineering is focused on the hardware side of things with a few sprinkles of software development thrown in its common for places to offer dual majors for computer and electrical engineering because of this
Computer design or building a computer is what my child wants to do.?
nice video thanks
Comp. E. (finishing sophomore year) Let's go.
Morris Kal B are u going hardware or software path
Ryan Ahmed maybe software but I'm also interested in machine learning/robotics...
Morris Kal B wouldn’t that be more software?
Cydi it really depends on your focus, obviously there is a design aspect to robotics which is pure EE, since it involves control systems and microprocessors etc but this is an option I believe for CE and EE majors. CSCI majors don't need to know that background I believe (could be wrong), for them AI would be more of pattern recognition and sensing estimations.
Going to Cal Poly SLO as a rising EE freshman next year. Got any tips/tricks/recommendations/etc? Best video ever for someone going to slo as a freshman... going to share it with my friends :)
How did it go?
If I want to work on drones, machine learning, computer vision, robots and similar work, would it make more sense to study Computer Engineering or Computer Science? The Computer Engineering degree at my Uni is moreso focused on Software then it is on hardware btw. Like 75% software, 25% hardware. And the two specializations in the degree are either Distributed systems and networks, or Computer vision and AI.
And would I need the Masters degree before I'm qualified to build the beforementioned things ?
YOOO IM GOING TO CALPOLY TOO
Good job
I would like to know about Statisti s Major. Could you make some video about that?
You should be like Higher Ed Admin
I'm a business major but now I'm thinking I want to do CS, help.
just dont
I imagine self learning python could help sonehow
Double major in math and cs is pretty comon... would you recomend doing a double in math and Computer E.?
Its easier to get a double major with Comp E because you are required to take more math than CS so more classes will count for both majors.
@@christopherdlg2316 Wait, so if you double majored in Math and CS you take less CS classes than a person majoring in just CS?
I love all your video. All of them are very nice and informative.
I have a request for communication engineering. Need help for that of you don't mind.
Thanks for the request! I'm guessing you are located outside the US cause it's really not a common major here. But I'll see what I can do about getting it!
Can you do stuff related to Mechanical Engineering?
With this style of video talking about the curriculum? Or just in general?
