Electronics and Comn engg vs Electronics and electrical engg?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on choosing a college branch between Electronics and Computer Science Engineering. It addresses two main questions: the possibility of pursuing a master's in electronics after selecting Computer Science and which specific engineering branch to choose among Electronics and Communication, Electronics and Electrical, and Electronics and Instrumentation. It is confirmed that one can pursue a master's in electronics with a Computer Science background, provided the necessary prerequisites are met. The three engineering options are noted to have similarities, with distinctions suggested: Communications Engineering may involve more mathematics, Instrumentation Engineering could focus more on laboratory work, and Electrical Engineering is perceived as more balanced. The choice ultimately depends on personal interests and career goals.

My major interest is in electronics. I have my college admission counselling in two days, and I'm stuck with this dilemma of which branch to choose. I also have Computer Science engineering as an option. These vacations I took up C++ and it's going well.

Question 1
Can I do my masters in electronics if I take Computer Science engineering?

Question 2:
What do I opt for? Electronics and communication engineering or Electronics and Electrical engineering? I also have Electronics and instrumentation engineering as an option.
(A solid reason to why the course you suggest would help a lot.)

Thank you!

Answer 1:
Yes, as long as you have the prerequisites for electronics and your application clearly indicates why you want to study electronics.

Answer 2:
This is like an ANOVA: the between group variance exceeds the within group variance. All three courses sound very similar. You can get to any electronics grad program with any of them. It's hard to guess what makes them different, but if I had to guess I would think the Communications Engineering option would have a little more math, the Instrumentation Engineering would have a little more lab focus, and the Electrical Engineering option would be more balanced.
 
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
