What is the best field to study for a career in this?

So I was recently accepted into my local state University, and am in the process of choosing my major.. If I wanted to work at a company like Intel, IBM and such, working on computer technology like processors, what would be the best field to study? Computer Engineering? Computer Science? OR something else?

If you want to get a job at IBM or Intel, you need to go to MITInfinite-Zr0

Computer Engeneering. It is mostly focused on hardware, Computer Science is better for those who want to become programmers.

Hardware is definitely computer engineering.

Ya, I'm assuming people who graduate from State college in computer engineering are making processors for off brand calculators.Infinite-Zr0

A lot of people who go to MIT graduated from a state university. It's not about where you get your undergraduate degree, guys. Most people that "go places" without the influence of connections have a master's or a doctorate. I agree though, the Computer Engineering major is probably for you.

computer engineering is the way to go. dont listen to they guys saying you will be making off brand calculators. computer science and engineerings are treated well. on average the starting salary for a computer engineer is $64,874 a year. (the is a penn state graduate statistic from their coop program. i dont know if applies to all areas.) just do what you wanna do.
