For College Student: What are you studying?

Making electrons do my bidding engineeringThevenin167

they are easily coaxed... just apply the right amount of pressure.

Electrical Engineering

Then I might be able to help make some actually good iPods

dont work for apple then.

I'm not going to college, but it's always interesting to hear what other people are going to be doing.

History!TenP

Bout time!! Thought I was the only one.

Basket Weaving

it's the next big thing :lol:

Are you studying a specific language or languages?

I'm doing an interdisciplinary study of Japanese option. I might switch to both Japanese and Mandarin, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle both.

not there yet but am sure to get bs in Programming Computer Science

I'm almost done with my Chemical Engineering major. Boy was it ever rough.Yagr_Zero

You'll make a lot of money though.

I'm interested in computer engineering, but does anyone want to explain the difference between Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science? I understand the general difference, I guess, but I'm having trouble picking a major and I really need to start applying to colleges. I'd love to hear any opinions or advice from students or graduates that know the subject.Englando_IV

What school are you at?

Just a community college right now, but I plan on Devry or Collins afterwards.

I would rethink that. Devry and Collins are for profit schools that have horrible job placement. Credits don't transfer from those places. Employers laugh at those degrees. Plus they cost more then traditional universities by a lot. Same thing goes for ITT tech and University of Phoenix. That basically goes for all for profit schools.

As for the topic, Software Engineering at Iowa State Uni.

:D I keep getting asked what I want to do with a history degree though, there really isn't much. :(

But I wanna go into some museum thing, that's for sure!

Both electrical and computer engineering focus heavily on computers but they have there differences.

Electrical engineering focuses more on hardware while computer engineering focuses more on software.

Im studying electrical engineering myself and its tough. You better be REALLY good at math.

Biology
Chemistry
Physics
Mathematics
Philosophy and Ethics

All at AS level.

i would describe ce as a mix between CS and EE. CS is mostly programming with little emphasis on hardware design. EE is mostly hardware, circuit based stuff will little emphasis on programming. CE is a blend of the two. graduate with both programming experience and hardware design experience. when i studied CE i focused more on hardware design. so while i did have a lot of programming classes i had to take like algorithms, data structures, and stuff that the EE crowd does not take, most of my electives were hardware design classes. got a job doing logic (chip hardware) design for servers. irony is a lot of my job is programming.. :?

i need to complete 4 more courses, and then i'll have my mathematics b.s. :D

and a little forewarning about majoring in math for newbs: upper level classes will not be plug and chug (like a lot of trigonometry and calculus is), but will focus on deductive reasoning, proofs of theorems and lemmas and corollaries, "showing" why one statement logically implies another, etc. the difference between a lower level math course and an upper level course is striking. :shock:
