Electrical Vs Computer Engineering Vs Computer Science | A Side by Side Comparison

►Flowcharts

►Course Descriptions

In this video I give a side by side comparison of the college courses in electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science. Note that I really didn't 'count' some of the intro classes as "major classes" cause they are just the very basics. You'll also notice that all these majors take most of the same support courses which is why I only went over those briefly. With electives everyone's schedule will look different, but you can expect most of these classes in each respective major.

I'm a EE major and decided to minor in computer science off of a whim after taking a microcontroller class (because my coding skills were trash). My minor consisted of all of the CSE courses that CE majors needed to take, with the addition of algorithms. Actually decided to take Computer Networking as an elective. My school doesn't offer an ECE degree but after seeing this I'm pretty disappointed that even with the extra 26 hours and similar classes I'm ending up with a minor and not a double major.

In my experience, a solid understanding of probability analysis is equally important. Statistical analysis is fundamental to design theory. If one were to choose engineering as a career, I would highly recommend studying this. Behind nearly every great mathematician, physicist, or engineer, lies a great statistician. Great video, btw!

@MajorPrep These videos are the best examples of some of the best videos available on YouTube ! Thank you dear for this help ! :-)

Soon there will be 1 million subscribers.Congrats in advance.

do this video but with mechanical and aerospace engineer

[mazri]

Really like the quarter system!!
didn't know such thing exist, it let you focus, having less things on your mind!

[otooandoh]

Thanks for all the work that you do Major Prep! I really wish I had known all of this when I first started college back in 2013

I want to learn computer hardware engineer and computer science

[syerwaleed]

what if i take a the cs curriculum but take some electives on hardware to get an overall view of computers?

[randommage]

Its funny how different our colleges are lol, ee and cs are very similar, they have 5 classes in common (out of 13 for the major)

[Capacitance]

I’m in my Freshman year of Computer Engineering and I’ve been thinking about doing a Computer Science minor

[mattquick]

So what you are saying is I should major in EE, CS, and Mathematics?

[sharan]

please do a video on how to making a carrier in robotics, nanotechnology, biomedical, aerospace engineering (anyone) and which branch to choose.I personally think mechanical engineering would be a right choice but I want to know from your side (please).I am from India.

[aarondichoso]

*THANK YOU.* I shall thank you again the next time I have picked my course :D

all those classes look like too much theory, technology courses are much cooler but make sure you choose a school with the calculus and differential equation classes so you can also do engineering jobs since you get payed more but the difference is youll have funner classes and you will have much more experience. best schools offer 50/50 theory and hands on.

Quick question my man. Currently enrolled in mechatronics at an undergrad. I'm really interested in missle guidance systems and things of that nature. Is there any way a mechatronics degree could get me there? Or do you think that's more electrical? Thanks, huge fan of these videos. They help a ton!!

[Retrocaus]

I'm taking mechatronics my first semester a class where i got to build my own digital trainer, and one for circuit schematics on autocad then lastly electrical circuits class where we learned how to use osciliscopes function generators and other basic tools on circuits we made ourselves. second semester i'm taking Mechanics, physics 1, and i got to take precal cuz i was lazy in highschool, then i'm taking logic systems with python. that was just first year at an associates which i'm lazy so it is only 25% of the associates degreee.... then i move on to my schools version of Computer engineering technology major which has a prerequisite of Calculus 2 which would be calculus 4 in other schools(my schools has 2 semestersa year ). In my school CET(Computer engineering technology) is basically mechatronics engineering.

[matthewhildebrandt]

You look similar to Marshall from How I Met Your Mother haha. Great video by the way!!

[evanbrunner]

I'm a business major but now I'm thinking I want to do CS, help.
