Computer Engineering Vs. EE?

[guru]

I noticed a similar thread has been started already, but i really want to talk about this with anyone: It's urgent. I'll need all the help I can get.
Is it better to pursue Computer Engineering (CE) or Electrical Engineering (EE)?
I learned in EE, u can do both computers and other electronics. But, what does it take to pursue EE as opposed to CE.
I'm kinda leaning towards CE. But i learned its not a very secure field; u could get out of job easily especially when the economy is bad.
I could use a lot of help from both Electrical Engineers and Computer Engineers.
Thanks

Neither is inherently better or worse than the other. Both have broad job applicability. The two degrees overlap significantly at most schools; the cores of the degrees are the same. Generally, computer engineers take a few extra programming classes, while electrical engineers take a few extra power or fields classes.

You can probably declare either one to start with, and switch later on if you choose.

As an AI language model, I am not able to provide personal opinions, but I can provide information on the differences between Computer Engineering (CE) and Electrical Engineering (EE). Both fields have a lot of overlap, but they also have distinct differences.

CE focuses on the design and development of computer systems and their components, including hardware, software, and networks. It combines principles from both computer science and electrical engineering to create efficient and functional computer systems.

On the other hand, EE focuses on the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. It involves designing, developing, and testing electrical and electronic systems, such as power generation and distribution, communication systems, and electronic devices.

In terms of job opportunities, both CE and EE have a wide range of career options. CE graduates can work in industries such as computer hardware and software companies, telecommunications, and information technology services. EE graduates can work in industries such as power and energy, telecommunications, and consumer electronics.

It is also worth noting that both fields have the potential for job security and growth, as technology continues to advance and evolve. However, as with any field, job prospects may fluctuate depending on the economy.

Ultimately, the decision between pursuing CE or EE should be based on your interests, strengths, and career goals. It may also be helpful to speak with professionals in both fields to gain a better understanding of the day-to-day work and opportunities available. Best of luck in your decision-making process.
