One of the funniest parts about being involved in robotics is watching every student want to do the one thing that's not directly related to his major. So the EEs want to redesign the frame, the MEs want to code micro-controllers, the CompEs want to work on anything that isn't embedded/driver code and the CS kids run screaming in terror. Everything gets accomplished as a semi-hack 'cause all the guys are reinventing the wheel instead of putting all that stuff they've learned into practice. Engineering...

My story for getting into cs is much like everybody's: I had a video game I wanted to hack. Unlike most people, my video games were the Barbie hair, makeup, and clothes games. I played them 'cause I wanted to be a fashion designer, and got frustrated at the lack of options, especially with respect to texture and opacity. When I told this story to another girl in cs, she looked at me like I was totally nuts and she looked horrified at the mention Barbies. Her attitude highlighted how sometimes females...

'cause it's easier to have one place to constantly c&p the answer from:

Computer Engineering is a mix of computer science with an architecture bent (meaning operating systems, assembly, and the CPU/other hardware on the motherboard) and EE with a digital circuits bent. You get all the fundamental courses of each major (algorithms, data structures, circuits, communications, etc.) but instead of getting a broader picture or specializing (which is what upper level courses are supposed...
