Dole | Russo, I have thought about this long and hard. That is all. | |

rockets redglare | As you mentioned, the job market for EE is much broader, which makes it possible for you to look for a job that doesn't have much to do with analog devices. A lot of jobs with utility companies don't require much more than a knowledge of CAD and the ability to understand the basic electrical concepts.

AngPur | Can you not just take EE and perhaps later go back an piecemail the classes need for a CPE degree? Then you'd have both fields open. | |

ziggytrix | that'd be EE hands down. they're more likely to be adderol junkies. | |

Archduke Tips | They don't allow EE/CPE double majors since the course loads are very similar. The only difference is EE starts to focus on analog stuff and CPE focuses more on programming/digital stuff. | |

EE or CPE? I've been considering switching my major from Electrical Engineering (EE) to Computer Engineering (CPE), and I wanted your guys' opinion. My problem with EE is that I have now started to get into all the analog electronics stuff and I have a pretty hard time with it. I really easily and quickly pick up digital logic and programming kind of courses, but this analog electronics course I am taking now has just been brutal on me. EE: Pros: -Bigger job market for EE -Already taken some EE only courses Cons: -I have trouble with analog stuff CPE: Pros: -Higher starting salary for CPEs (~$2000/yr more) -Courses would be easier for me Cons: -I would have to catch up on about 3 classes I missed What do you guys think? Should I tough it out as an EE or should I change to what would be an easier major for me? |
