What does /g/ think of Computer Engineering

Ask /sci/ and get bullied.

Surely better than Computer Information Systems.

Better option is to start the degree, then drop out. You'll get major hiring points among startups, who look for these kind of kids. The zuckerberg meme.

Someone ready asked there and they seem to despise CS and CE so they wont be of much help

>>61075718
Only do this if you can get into a top 10 school

>>61075727
>/sci/ is one person
They're as retarded about sciences as /dpt/ is about programming.

where I study CE is the real meme, only people who think they will all be "big bosses" go for it, or others who didn't do their research enough to know how lacking their curriculum is

>>61075296
It's like EE and CS fucked and had a kid. You'll get a lot of the EE curriculum (circuits and signals) but without the physics, and some of the lower/mid-level CS stuff (data structures, architecture). From what I hear the market for it is good at the moment, but it's also pretty new.

>It's like EE and CS fucked and had a kid.
This sums up my current experiences as a CSandE student. It's like a clusterfuck of different approaches.

At my college it had the highest dropout rate of all specialisations. In pure EE or pure CS topics tend to bleed into each other, so you can learn something and it will turn out to overlap with something else from another perspective, so the curriculum as a whole sort of reinforces itself. Whereas for CE you just gets bits and pieces in isolation without the stuff that pulls it all together.

>Without the physics
Not necessarily true, majoring in CE and I had to take electric fields and other shit like that.

>>61075296
where do you live and what school?

This is important because at some institutions, computer science is a complete joke and is more closer to an applied math degree. At others, engineering will be mainly general engineering muck with very few meaningful electives

>>61075296
My dad was a Computer Engineer in the 90's and made mad cash back then.

I'm not quite sure if it's a good degree nowadays tho.

CE is good if you want to become a code monkey.

t. code monkey

I'm a senior in CmpE and I'm enjoying it so far. If you like low level programming or digital circuits at all then it's good. I've heard it really depends on the school though.

>>61076517
Same for me but there is definitely much less Physics than the EE students.

>>61075296
Yes.

>>61075296
I went the Automation engineer route instead of Comp Eng, hope I didn't fuck up.

OP: For the people asking about which country/school
Middle east shithole which probably means I'm fucked and the curriculum is shit

>>61075296
CE is the academic major that studies computers using math, physics, and EE. CS is for people too weak to pass advanced math or physics courses. Compare:
