Program Switch Comp Eng - Comp Sci

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a student's consideration to switch from Computer Engineering to Computer Science due to a lack of interest in electrical engineering courses such as Electromagnetics and Microelectronics. The student expresses a strong preference for programming and Computer Engineering courses like Microprocessor Systems and Logic Design. Forum participants confirm that switching programs is feasible and suggest that the student may receive credit for completed courses, facilitating the transition to a Computer Science degree.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Computer Engineering fundamentals
  • Familiarity with programming concepts and languages
  • Knowledge of course credit transfer policies
  • Awareness of the curriculum differences between Computer Engineering and Computer Science
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the curriculum of a Computer Science degree program
  • Investigate credit transfer policies at your institution
  • Connect with academic advisors for guidance on program switching
  • Explore programming languages and tools relevant to Computer Science
USEFUL FOR

Students in engineering programs, academic advisors, and individuals considering a transition from Computer Engineering to Computer Science.

Hello,
I am currently in my Second year of Computer Engineering, but I often find myself not enjoying the electrical engineering courses that we have to take (Electromagnetics, Microelectronics, Circuits and Systems) but I immensely enjoy the programming courses and the Computer Engineering courses that we take such as Microprocessor Systems and Logic Design

I am looking at possibly switching program streams from Computer Engineering into Computer Science, and any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

I know someone who is in a similar situation, but it was too late for him to switch.
He wholeheartedly hated the EE courses.
I don't think its too late for you to perform the switch, plus, you should be able to get some credit from your previous computer engineering courses transferred the CS degree.
