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 good news for that the CE(Computer Engineering) Majors out there and I too one of the biggest strength Computer Engineering ever has is embedded system where software meets hardware so in essense make use of any embedded system class also Computer Engineering has plenty of electives you can pretty much customize it for a certain focus though don't forget that for those wanting to have the best use for it is embedded systems something EE or CS won't ever have to such depth especially hands on in labs.
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.
I went from electrical engineering to computer engineering. Love both fields but I find the combination of hardware + software to be more interesting. I just think u should go with what ur heart says and if you're unsure maybe electrical is better since it's broader but both are great studies and give u lots of valuable information.
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.
I am not saying electrical is always better than computer engineering -- if you really like computers and that's what you see yourself doing, go for it! The idea of the video is that if you are unsure which career path to pursue, it would be smart to choose a broader field which would have more options for you down the line
Current undergrad here. I used to be CompE but switched to EE after realizing I hate embedded systems and love EM theory. But, even if I did enjoy embedded systems I would still switch. Most EE programs including the one in my school allow you to concentrate in computer engineering subfields even as an EE major. With just a couple circuit and EM theory classes, you suddenly have yourself a much more versatile, broader degree, with virtually the exact same skillset as any CompE grad, assuming that's your concentration. It's objectively better. They made an entire major just for people who can't stand to take a couple extra physics classes lol. That said, if for some reason your school won't allow you to take compE electives as an EE, and you're interested in CompE, than of course you should go for that instead.
@Ali the Dazzling l go to Georgia tech. Let me clarify though, you still have to choose an EE concentration, but you have full access to all compE classes. Basically, if you choose a more networking/coding related EE concentration, you can take a whole bunch of compE classes that will count for your degree requirements
Hi! Nice video. I’m kinda stuck right now. Everywhere I look, I see different answers. Here’s my situation. I haven’t started college yet, I’m thinking of doing electrical engineering. I like computers, and programming, especially my own games, and I like the hardware side too, but not as much as software. I also like electronics, and building my own stuff, like robots, I like dealing with power (for some reason I always have instinct to check how many volts something needs to run lmao) and power distribution. I’m just not entirely sure… my priorities are: Electronics > Software > Power Distribution & Generation > Computer Hardware Tbh everything kinda cancels out in my eyes. I definitely don’t want to double major, because I’m planning to do a job on the side, but I’m just stuck. If anyone could help, that’d be nice! Thanks again
I like to sit and theorize about complex problems, which is why I lean towards electrical engineering. But I am also interested in computer vision and machine learning, which is why I lean towards computer science. I think computer engineering will give me the best of both worlds
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.
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.
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?
Damn we are in the same boat. I feel exactly the same way about CS. EE will definitely give you that strong mathematical skills and mental challenge you seek I'm sure. I am interested in fields of CS, but I don't think I'd really enjoy working in them. Plus, I love physics so much, especially electricity and magnetism. Honestly even as an engineer you may be at a computer for long periods of time, but at least you'll have the flexibility/options to do different type of work such as working on hardware, being in a lab with cool equipment and tools doing actual hands on work, and even being out on the field sometimes! I think I'm going to do EE. I am starting soon (This summer hopefully) at a community college as well and Ali here can tell you I've been stressing over this for about a year now lol. I agree with everyone when they say follow what you enjoy. Normally that can be a bad thing if your interest is something like gender studies, but we are lucky to have an interest in very lucrative fields to begin with, so I wouldn't worry about job opportunities too much. CS has more at the moment, and also likely has more opportunities to work remote. It also has insane projected growth and therefore job security, and it likely isn't going anywhere anytime soon, especially with new and emerging fields such as AI, cloud computing, quantum computing, etc. I feel the same way you do, trust me. There just isn't as much hype around EE as there is for CS right now. Despite that, I still think I'll go for EE because it has fields I'm simply more interested in such as Robotics, Telecommunications/Radio Frequency, Signal Processing, Controls, Power and Energy/Sustainability, etc. You will also still learn to code, so don't worry about that. A double major will be tough, but if you are like me and your interests in each are still super strong equally, then maybe you can use that to get through it. I hear that double majors are just OK. Let me know what decision you make please! I'll try to update for myself as well. I read your comment and literally thought I wrote it, I feel the same way. I'm quite confident that EE has a bright future as well though, so in this situation, you really can just follow your intuition! :)
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.
Might actually do computer engineering since I realize the part of EE I care about is the computer part. And all the salaries I’m seeing for CE are higher.
Precisely where I am. However some Universities, such as Oregon State University have a hybrid bachelors in Electricla AND Computer engineering. And yet other schools will have the separate majors. And in some cases double majoring in both wont add that much extra time vs a different double major, deoending on the University.
@@alithedazzling I do indeed have interest in Both. But especially nanotechnology, nuclear fusion, optical physics as it relates to quantum computers, and other areas like materials science. We shall see my friend
Computer engineers don't only study Computer Architectures, Networks and Software but they also take Signal Processing, Machine Learning, Quantum Computing, Automatic Controls, Cyberphysical Systems, Embedded and so on... in my opinion they have a way better understanding over the process needed to build complex systems even though they focus more on the processes needed to transfer and manage information rather than the physical implementations(which are although covered less in depth). I personally love this field because it allows you to create extremely complex systems by curing their development in every steps of the process. For example some days ago I went to a presentation of a master degree focused on Machine Learning and the professor told us that one of the main goals of that course was to understand the impact of the architecture of the computer over the statistical models on which they were trained
I think that depends entirely on the school/program -- in most universities in the US quantum computing for example is not in the curriculum. Computer engineering is a great area, but this video is focused on helping those in undergrad who do not know what to do and want to keep a broad enough field to have many options
I believe Computer Engineering would be good for me since I've been torn between the hardware and software side of the tech industry so why not learn both but in a balanced way
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.
I'm starting uni next semester (spring student) and when I was applying last year it was no question I would be doing either EE or CE, because I really liked the BC calc course I took as well physics / electronics etc. A while ago, I started learning basic embedded systems (I already got pretty good with arduino, currently learning stm32), computer architecture, as well as analog/general circuit design (op-amps, dc-dc converters, stuff like that). So far, I really love hardware, but only *like* software. So far my schedule is leaning towards EE, but I'm doing one CE programming course (on top of the EE programming one lol) so I can eventually take DS&A or something like that. I don't want to think too ahead, but if I had to pursue a certain field for a job, it would probably be embedded. Would I be at a disadvantage doing EE? sorry for the long comment.
No you will be fine either way it sounds like -- once you get to university you can ask around and see what the professors recommend since things differ based on university. Either way seems like you're in the right place!
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 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'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!
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?
Yes I do --- I would actually argue its probbaly the best specialization, especially from a research and development perspective. Germany is actually one of the leaders
@@alithedazzling I was wondering if one needs understanding in quantum theory to get into photonics? Or is it just advanced applications of Maxwells equations?
Do you have advice for adults with full time jobs? Thinking about going back to college after dropping out 12 year ago. I feel like I would have to start at the elementary level though since I barely remember anything but then it would take like 8 years to get a bachelors.
I dont think thats true, since you are more mature and have more life skills, it may be easier actually assuming you can manage your time well. You can definitely do it! My advice would be identify the career or job you want to get, and pursue that degree. Try to be as intentional as you can
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?
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?
Hi pls reply, I love to work on computer i am a graphic designer also learn coding as well know too much about computer but. But i love electric also because o want to invent something and its alos my dream can you pls tell me what i chose computer side field or electrical
Hello! I am interested in Embedded System and i want to design and make smart projects along with programming microcontrollers . Which one do you think will be better for me to choose ? EE or CE ?

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!
what did you end up choosing?
@chrishaddad4675 Electronics and communication engineering. So far, I'm very happy with my decision.
Both are great, but i chose CPE because its easier to have a job than EE in my country.
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?
yes
Do you have some experience in photonics? I think it’s also a quite interesting specialization with a good future.
Yes I do --- I would actually argue its probbaly the best specialization, especially from a research and development perspective. Germany is actually one of the leaders
@@alithedazzling I was wondering if one needs understanding in quantum theory to get into photonics? Or is it just advanced applications of Maxwells equations?
@@erenjaeger5344 depends on what you want to do specifically -- but for majority of photonics applications, basic electromagnetics is sufficient
Do you have advice for adults with full time jobs? Thinking about going back to college after dropping out 12 year ago. I feel like I would have to start at the elementary level though since I barely remember anything but then it would take like 8 years to get a bachelors.
I dont think thats true, since you are more mature and have more life skills, it may be easier actually assuming you can manage your time well. You can definitely do it! My advice would be identify the career or job you want to get, and pursue that degree. Try to be as intentional as you can
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?
yes, if you are more interested in it and dont want to learn about other broad areas
Is it wise to study for 5 years and do a double major in both CE and EE?
if you really want to
Electrical engineering requires a general chemistry class which computer engineering don't
Yes during orientation I remember the professor closing a book and a flame came out.
Tanq somuch sir 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Bro finally what job you are doing right now.. Exact Name please 👍🏼
Or any suggestion.
I am a PhD student
Eventually you choose a subfield if you want to be productive in the market you just cant be good in everything
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?
Me, an ME major also doing embeded systems dev .... lol
Hi pls reply,
I love to work on computer i am a graphic designer also learn coding as well know too much about computer but. But i love electric also because o want to invent something and its alos my dream can you pls tell me what i chose computer side field or electrical
Is EE engineering harder than computer engineering?
the one you are more interested in will be easier
Hello! I am interested in Embedded System and i want to design and make smart projects along with programming microcontrollers . Which one do you think will be better for me to choose ? EE or CE ?
both are good
Also electrical engineering is so hard😂 Im doing data science because Im scared of radiation and electrical shock
hahaha data science is still cool though!
i am also doing that @willjack5848 can you guide me what to do i just graduated in electrical degree and wanted to change DS
Super Amezing 🎉🎉🎉
Yay💜🙌🏽
Computer Engineers work in Robotics
they can for sure!
Now compare CS, CE, and EE...
you got it boss, although it may be a while since I have bunch of other stuff lined up, but I appreciate the suggestion :)
