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.
I just started my freshman year of college, and I'm considering either EE or CS (or something else, who knows). Thank you so much for making these videos; they help clarify the differences between these fields.
Some schools they call their mechatronics, Computer engineering technology which is this plus mechanical engineering and more ee and the cs is mixed with everything to allow more ee and ME
as someone who studies electrical engineering at a german university it is quite interesting to look at your system. it really is quite different in some aspects and very similar in others. for example we only have to do one of these "general education" courses during the entirety of our Ba degree and a second one for our Ma degree. in addition i think i prefer your trimester system to my semester system. then you dont have to learn as much for your exams, but have more of them.
Hey, Zach, considering that this channel is centred around being prepared for and understanding different college majors, I believe that you should make a video on what it is like for a college student to switch from one to another. This is a problem that most students face throughout their schooling and I think that it would be very beneficial to your viewers if you made a video on this topic. This has also become a personal problem for me as I am already starting to doubt my choice as a Bio major (I start this fall at CPP).
Great idea! Really appreciate the suggestion and I think it’d be good to find multiple people who’ve switched majors and have them talk about it. Then I can give a summary as well
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!
Most college and university websites show which courses are required for which majors. If you really want to know which courses are required you should talk to the staff at your school and they may be able to tell you where to go to find requirements for certain majors. This can also give you an idea of how major requirements differ from college to college if you look at multiple school websites.
Wow, great video as always!! Will you do a video about avionics/aircraft electronic and electrical systems careerpath in future?(What subfields of EE are in demand there the most, advice for EE grads who would love to work on aircraft electronics etc) Thank you again for your awesome work, you're really helping many students!
Can you make some more comparisons esp. between EE and CE. And I will have no problem at all watching a full 30 minutes video. as a high-school student, your channel gave me a LOT of information for choosing my major 2 years later for university, so thank you for your effort.
I am soooo excited to begin electrical engineering in the fall!! I am slightly nervous that I might fit better into a different engineering discipline, like computer or aerospace, but I’m looking forward to explore my interests in the next few years. Thank you for your advice!!
I don’t mean to be a downer folks but I just got off the phone with the suicide hotline 30 minutes ago. comp sci sucks i have no will to live good luck out there loves. Wishing you the best!!
Thanks for the knowledge. In all other countries they teach computer science and computer enginneering as different course while in India they teach both in a single course - Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). I myself a CSE undergrad. Now I understand why is it so.
"Systems programming .. everyone dreaded... C language" Me: Oh I like programming in C Zach: "..Compression algorithm" *Compression algorithm PTSD intensifies* I remember in high school participating in a university made examination (Waterloo CCC)(the junior one) and the fourth question was to do this exact thing. I was lost af. It was the junior examination and it wasn't even the last question(questions in ascending difficulty), and we had a time limit to do all these questions.
I’m a student at Cal Poly currently in electrical engineering, and I’ve been worried about if I should transfer to computer engineering for my career interests. However, from reading this I should be fine as long as I just tailor my interests to include extra computer science courses.
I’m torn between computer engineering and electrical engineering. I’ve never programmed or done anything like that so I’m worried I’ll be behind if I get into computer engineering. Also I’d rather be involved with solar panels and mass electricity production than computer hardware. What do u guys think
same boat and I went with EE because it's more versatile and I'm still taking a couple CE classes im interested in (data structures, computer architecture, etc) so I get the best of both worlds
I graduateed from Cal Poly Pomona As EE. This video just reminds me of all the nightmare Finals and project I went throw. I was so smart back in school lol
It really is haha. Go for the robotics section of CPE 123! You'll likely get a survey about your interests so that they can put you into an introductory programming class and I would highly recommend going for robotics. You get to keep the robot.
I really want to! I've actually been trying to find someone in the major but it's not a common one. Granted I could be looking harder lol, but I promise it will be on the channel.
And also please can you make a video on chemical engineering, im more interested in electrical because I want to work in satellites, rockets communications, drones etc, but my dad is a chemist and naturally he advices me to do chemical engineering 😂😂 saying that it’s much more demanding as in they need them more, so whatever you have time a video on how chemical engineering differs from electrical engineering and what classes each have to take would be sooo awesome, anyways love the channel so much
Would be happy to do more videos on that! Just so you know chemical engineering and EE are very different majors. It would be me mostly just talking about their differences. The similarities would be pretty minimal. There is some overlap in control systems for sure though.
Sir please make a video on Electronics and Communication Engineering. And the jobs offered with respective salaries and level of expertise required for each job . I know it is more like Computer Engineering but I just wanted the accurate info. And NOT TO FORGET ..... I LOVED ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS ❤
The Spilled Mountain Dew very good, learning a lot but it definitely isn’t easy, but I’m sticking with it. Currently learning about systems programming and it’s kicking my ass, but it’s worth it
9:39 would it be possible to take these as "electives" even as a Computer Engineer? (forgive me if the question sounds dumb, since i wanted to be sure.)
So I have a question regarding electrical engineering as I am currently in the digital systems class. We use a program for our assignments called Xilinx ISE, which is a windows only program. My question is do you use this program in later classes such as microcontrollers or circuits? Reason I ask is Im using a macbook and am heavily considering getting a windows laptop if Xilinx used more throughout the major, thanks!
I would strongly consider it. I had to use Quartus and PSpice in circuits and digital design. And again in more advance classes. For microcontrollers, it was code composer studio. I don’t recall if code composer was available for macs. I don’t believe it was. I don’t remember seeing any students on a Mac in microcontrollers. Alternatively, you could just dual boot.
Youbie you are right, it depends on the school. At Cal Poly they aren't similar. However at UC Berkeley, University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MIT, etc, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering are combined into one program EECS.

If I want to work on drones, machine learning, computer vision, robots and similar work, would it make more sense to study Computer Engineering or Computer Science? The Computer Engineering degree at my Uni is moreso focused on Software then it is on hardware btw. Like 75% software, 25% hardware. And the two specializations in the degree are either Distributed systems and networks, or Computer vision and AI. And would I need the Masters degree before I'm qualified to build the beforementioned things ?
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.
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.
Technology degrees are much more easier than engineering degrees plus your completely disregarding computer engineers who build computers and much more.
@@albarrmanzar2909 bro i'm literally a computer engineer , i have two degrees one in mechatronics and one in computer, althought i'm a crypto developer at the moment although they are in technology i know more than a normal "engineer"
@@Retrocaus Simply because you double majored, otherwise this is usually not the case. Source : I'm an EE with a double major in both EE and electric engineering technology.
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.

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!!
Mechatronics is definitely a good place to be for that! There are many aspects of missile guidance systems and mechatronics covers quite a few. It’ll be good to figure out specifically what you are more interested in (circuits, mechanical design, programming, etc) when it comes to that field.
DoGBroS INC I’m still trying to figure out what I want because I want to do coding and get into cyber security in all that and I also want to do electrical engineering
Going to Cal Poly SLO as a rising EE freshman next year. Got any tips/tricks/recommendations/etc? Best video ever for someone going to slo as a freshman... going to share it with my friends :)
@MajorPrep. Do you have any experience with student branches of the IEEE? I was thinking of joining the one near me to fill in the blanks of knowledge I don't have since I took my computer courses at a community college. I was also planning on joining the school's hacking club.
Computer engineering will get you a wider variety of jobs, but most of them veer towards computer hardware. Software engineering is all digital. If i had the choice i would do computer engineering, but you decide if you like more hardware or more coding.
I’m a computer engineering major and I would suggest in you’re planning in going to grad school choose computer engineering as an undergrad and master in computer science. That way you gain some background in hardware. Don’t do it the other way around because it’s harder to get into the masters in computer engineering than computer science since computer science don’t get engineering or hardware knowledge at all
@@jenniferxd8900 please suggest me, I'm freshman of Batchelor in EEE now , but seeing salaries and remote job facilities in cs, my mind forces to change the major but it's impossible in my uni . What should I do? Should I do Masters in cs after Batchelor, won't it be problematic as I won't be having 4 years of basics of CE? Please enlighten me?
@@RLleeo if you can switch now to Computer engineering do it , and choose as most programming classes you can as your electives , Find an internship also as you as you’re in your junior year. I didn’t do that and it’s been difficult getting into any entry level job
Hey MajorPrep. I love your videos and your channel. I am torn between Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I am hoping that you can give me some advice. Please and thank you for your time.
so if you were to double major in computer science and electrical engineering, then you should just triple major with computer engineering since its basically already going to be completed?
Hi. I switched from EET to CS. I'd recommend taking free intro courses or even going to a local 2 year college and trying some courses to see what you like or are more motivated in. Asking professionals on forums or reddit that are already in the field may provide insight
Can't speak for him, but in our degree, we had a lab where we designed a very crude CPU using a HDL. We also learnt how to program CPUs. This was in electrical eng, so I guess specialised computer engineering courses would definitely design a CPU?
@@nidhinbenny7975 It must have been pretty crude then. Considering all the architectural requirements that even a basic CPU has such as (clock generator, bus controller, memory/address and program counter registers, memory array, ALU, CU {control Unit}, instruction set architecture . .ect) those around in the early days of the Motorola 8088 processor; A) I suspect that if you were not simply engaged in digital design exercises that implemented sequential and/or other (including Boolean) logic to implement crude multiplexer and/or ALU functionality with some of the fundamental CPU sub-components such as flip flop logic gates, latches, and/or bi-stable multi-vibrators. Then . . . B) You may have been using something like VeriLog HDL with, say, a Xilinx IS environment (XISE) to translate between design language and actual hardware configuration; where the XISE (or some other suitable/better environment/replicator) basically performs the function of PLD simulator so that certain PLD sub-component designs can be modeled and/or tested. Even so, with the above point “B” . . . . It is still not quite the same as designing a complete CPU. As, despite the fact that most students that usually find themselves in front of (a large bread board capable of crudely implementing/supporting the above point “A” and/or) a compiler and/or CPU simulator (as above point “B”) as a means of seeking to understand computer architectures and functionality through the lens of a suitable language/code - whether it be ASM, machine code, or HDL - will ultimately be electronic/electrical and/or computer science engineering students possessing varying HDL experience; which means, in their efforts to comprehend computer architecture/design, they usually wind up throwing themselves at coursework projects that range from; *Reasonably simple;* HDL and CPU design concepts such as the design; 1) Of some kind of basic full or half-adder that can be used to implement simple ALU functions; a counter/timer; or to define a memory/other addresses. 2) Of a straight forward 16 x 16 random access memory array. *Through to moderately difficult;* design concepts such as; 1) An ALU design that might follow on from the aforementioned reasonably simple half/full-adder task where students are asked to implement a 32/16 operation ALU that (respectively) outputs a single 16 bit word, or a single 8 bit byte; via logic/functionality that operates on a double set of 16/8 bit operands; in a manner that demonstrates other logic/status bits (such as zero, overflow, and negatives) have also been correctly processed/combined. 2) A single stage/cycle processor capable of performing, say, a single operation per cycle within the constraints of a certain bus size; be it either 8 or 16 bit. 3) Validating interrupt stack pointer/memory functionality by design that, not only supports communication between memory and stack pointer - but also, validates both it and the correct procedural logic/functionality by way of implementing an interrupt event. 4) Implementing a sequential processor (and/or crude) computer whereby the objective might be to continue on from the aforementioned single stage processor design and execute a multi-stage processor that also accommodates the ability to exercise lessons learnt from, say, the above-mentioned interrupt stack pointer/memory functionality design; by demonstrating the multi-stage processor’s capability to accurately jump to designated instruction memory addresses and/or respond via an appropriate event/alarm if this does not occur as expected. However . . . . When it is all said/done even the moderately difficult assignments (which I agree are important to learn/master) - including point 4 - often fall well short of designing a completely functional CPU. As such, unless you were using something like the aforementioned Xilinx ISE (or better) to communicate with your HDL so that it could BOTH properly simulate the various above-mentioned CPU sub-components AND ALSO string them all together into a working CPU; what you were doing - as you fairly/rightly state/accept - would have been remarkably crude and not really something that I would agree constituted designing a complete CPU. That said as an Electronic/Electrical Engineer myself I respect (you and) anyone that has studied/graduated in these complex and scintillating disciplines.
@@StormCentre88 Aw hell yeah it was crude haha. I think it was mostly in line with B) and 1) and 2) from your reply. It had a "clock" and three registers (I think) - all defined using verilog (I think it was compiled in Quartus?). This was a while back and I don't remember it all that well (I've since gone on to mostly power related engineering and some RF). But I seem to remember that it used an 8 bit "instruction set" - the first 2 bits were the opcode, then two bits for each reg. It didn't do anything except add and store two numbers. Fully agree that this wouldn't be called anything remotely resembling a CPU today, but it was still pretty cool to see the basic principles behind CPU designs. By the way, thank you for your detailed response - it took me like half a day to read but was worth it :). Would definitely recommend it to my friends to see what components go into a more complex cpu. Do you get to design anything like this in your current job? If so, that is totally awesome. Also, any links to resources on these topics would be very welcome :). Thanks so much Jim and good luck with everything!
@@nidhinbenny7975 I don’t get to do much of it anymore but when I was younger and still coming through the ranks one of the best projects I worked on (aside from a few military projects related to synthetic apetures, radar design/processing, and/or sub-surface control of unmanned armed/other vessels) was a phase coherent fully active line (acoustic) array; or speaker/monitor. It involved 4 separate Sharc processors whereby 3 of them each implemented their own dedicated digital Xover filter (this was before digital filters become popular and easily possible) as well as a dedicated D/A conversions for each of the LF, MF and HF transducers. The 4th Sharc processor was used as a master processor/controller; as back then there was not enough memory/speed grunt available within the uP market offerings to be able to easily run the filter algorithm as well as implement the A/D and/or D/A conversions and any other frequency, phase, and/or amplitude correction within the digital domain for the entire audio BW. Some of this research eventually went into some of the very early iterations of the 500C here (below link; page 28) back before Neumann bought Klein&Hummel out. www.neumann-kh-line.com/klein-hummel/globals.nsf/resources/s01_e.pdf/$File/s01_e.pdf Cheers.
@@StormCentre88 That is so AWESOME! Love hearing about people who have done real design work in the world :). My work has so far mainly been in making sure we comply with harmonics generation limits for the various plants that we monitor - its not exactly lots of design work but I kind of like it and still get to learn a good deal. Thank you for sharing Jim - I hope a lot of young EEs/students get to see this and realise how cool and diverse our field can be!
Dear Zack, From your videos, I'm sure that my career is of an IT Professional and for that, I will have to opt for Computer Engineering and I have no interest in doing Sofware Engineering and theory work of Computer Science. The only catch is that I'm a commerce student but I have Computer Science and Computer Application as my major subjects since high school. So, my question is can I opt for computer engineering without science?? My passion is building computers and doing all kinds of hardware stuff. During my free time at home, I usually disassemble and reassemble electronic gadgets to do some R&D on my own to understand the workings.
If you are from India and want to do electrical engineering, then you know you have to take Physics, Chemistry, Math and Biology/CS/Electronics, write entrance exams and go to university Even if you apply in foreign countries for computer engineering. Depending on the country/region/state and university; you might or may not be able to, since a lot of universities have criteria to have taken subjects related to the major. If you want to study in India, then NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) Research about it Depending on when you take admission, you won't have to spend 2 years doing senior high school, you can do it in the time period of 6 to 12 months. If you are lucky and have researched well. Take application here, and choose PCM as your subjects and study take the exam. Then write entrance exams like your state cet, kyp, jee etc. As they accept NIOS.
Do you think I could get jobs in factories and industrial plants with a CE degree? I love computers and programming but I would like to get jobs in heavy industry environments
Hey Is it true that CE is more electrical than programming because I love programming more but I want to do CE because I not only want to program but I want to be able to take the computer apart and fix devices
Hey great video! I've realised after watching this that computer engineering might be great for me. Just a query though. How complementary are EE and CS at jobs? And will a Comp. Eng be at a disadvantage as he will be competing with specialists in their singular fields(Jack of all trades, master of none)? Or do I have to not worry about that and I can specialise in one of them later on at work? Will both of my skills be utilised at work? Btw, very informative video. Thanks!
may be pretty late Lol (tell me if you decided by now or are you already studying?) i'm not an expert in fact i'm just an at lost college student just like you! but from what i've read in Quora, Forums,and basically many discussions over the comparaisons many do say that even Electrical Engineering may qualifie you for Software Engineer job actually, sometimes-althought not so often- companies even accept Physics and Math degrees, But for sure CompEn is the most eligible of the lot! Learn your coding better more outside what you learn at college, and most probably it would be alright they say. make more research tho and i really hope someone actually with an actual good idea answers this question of yours for confirmation purpose and advices... Good luck!
@@M-yue882 Hey thanks I'm still in high school lol. Yeah that makes sense. The skills you pick up in jobs are also important, not just the college curriculum. Also coding is kinda easy, do it just depends on how much importance you willing to give to each area.
"specialists in their singular field " usually have a PhD and or 10 years experience. Fresh graduates even from EE and CS just make coffee for the "specialists in their singular field ". When you go to work you will soon realize this fast . All undergraduates even from EE and CS are jack of all trades and just because you took some electives doesn't change this fact.

same boat and I went with EE because it's more versatile and I'm still taking a couple CE classes im interested in (data structures, computer architecture, etc) so I get the best of both worlds
@@amaanq8649 same
CE is a branch of EE
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
Happy to help!
so i can be a computer engineer and choose electives for software then when I graduate i can be a software engineer?
@@ArcticZombie Which electives for Cpe should I need to take for software engineering?
Really like the quarter system!!
didn't know such thing exist, it let you focus, having less things on your mind!
I graduateed from Cal Poly Pomona As EE. This video just reminds me of all the nightmare Finals and project I went throw. I was so smart back in school lol
Do you work as an ee or programmer?
@@hugodaniel8975 ee
@@Bnzzz225now tell which should I choose, eee or cse?
Good job you're making such a good videos
Electrical engineering Vs computer science who is the best option?
Eyyy I got accepted into Computer Engineering at Cal Poly! It sounds like an awesome school.
Congrats! You'll definitely love it.
It really is haha. Go for the robotics section of CPE 123! You'll likely get a survey about your interests so that they can put you into an introductory programming class and I would highly recommend going for robotics. You get to keep the robot.
RJ Macaranas sick will do.
Wait why do I feel I've taken most of these classes...
Because it is all the same in india.
8:56 redstone fun
Could you please do a video on Engineering Physics?
I really want to! I've actually been trying to find someone in the major but it's not a common one. Granted I could be looking harder lol, but I promise it will be on the channel.
MajorPrep Oh awesome no worries! The work you do for high-school students like me is already super-helpful!!!
Outside of the extra math and science courses EE is very similar to EET. That's my current major. Although I am considering switching to EE.
what if i take a the cs curriculum but take some electives on hardware to get an overall view of computers?
Nice video, can you do a a curriculum with mechatronics vs electrical engineer
And also please can you make a video on chemical engineering, im more interested in electrical because I want to work in satellites, rockets communications, drones etc, but my dad is a chemist and naturally he advices me to do chemical engineering 😂😂 saying that it’s much more demanding as in they need them more, so whatever you have time a video on how chemical engineering differs from electrical engineering and what classes each have to take would be sooo awesome, anyways love the channel so much
Would be happy to do more videos on that! Just so you know chemical engineering and EE are very different majors. It would be me mostly just talking about their differences. The similarities would be pretty minimal. There is some overlap in control systems for sure though.
Thanks Zach!
lmao these are the 3 actual choices I have right now
well, update?
@@Tururu134 update? lul
update plz
SAMEEEE 😩
Update
Sir please make a video on Electronics and Communication Engineering. And the jobs offered with respective salaries and level of expertise required for each job . I know it is more like Computer Engineering but I just wanted the accurate info.
And NOT TO FORGET ..... I LOVED ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS ❤
*THANK YOU.* I shall thank you again the next time I have picked my course :D
Thanks for the useful videos, soon going to cal poly SLO for comp engineering ✌️
You'll love it!
Well.... how is it?
The Spilled Mountain Dew very good, learning a lot but it definitely isn’t easy, but I’m sticking with it. Currently learning about systems programming and it’s kicking my ass, but it’s worth it
I’m in my Freshman year of Computer Engineering and I’ve been thinking about doing a Computer Science minor
hey these are really good and helpful. But could you make similar topics for a Masters Degree? That would be really helpful. Thanks
9:39
would it be possible to take these as "electives" even as a Computer Engineer? (forgive me if the question sounds dumb, since i wanted to be sure.)
Electrical engineering and applied mathematics for a quant role?
So I have a question regarding electrical engineering as I am currently in the digital systems class. We use a program for our assignments called Xilinx ISE, which is a windows only program. My question is do you use this program in later classes such as microcontrollers or circuits? Reason I ask is Im using a macbook and am heavily considering getting a windows laptop if Xilinx used more throughout the major, thanks!
I would strongly consider it. I had to use Quartus and PSpice in circuits and digital design. And again in more advance classes. For microcontrollers, it was code composer studio. I don’t recall if code composer was available for macs. I don’t believe it was. I don’t remember seeing any students on a Mac in microcontrollers. Alternatively, you could just dual boot.
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)
Youbie you are right, it depends on the school. At Cal Poly they aren't similar. However at UC Berkeley, University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MIT, etc, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering are combined into one program EECS.
Do a video on petroleum engineering please
Hey man great videos and funny you went to SLO that's where I'm looking to attend. Did you see anyone ever go EE maj / CS minor?

So you're technically obtaining a Computer Engineering Degree
Looks like a physics or EE degree
Why is there no programming in your degree?
Did you have to take discrete math?
So what you are saying is I should major in EE, CS, and Mathematics?
and physics
Computer science does take a computer design and assembly class, at most schools, it's called Computer Organization. Great video!
I am not sure if my comment got deleted but I can no longer see it.. so... now I am keeping it short.
Your channel is sooo great, maybe it will be big some day...so keep it going!
Best wishes!
Thanks for the comment! I don't delete comments so not sure where it would've gone but appreciate the kind words!
If I want to work on drones, machine learning, computer vision, robots and similar work, would it make more sense to study Computer Engineering or Computer Science? The Computer Engineering degree at my Uni is moreso focused on Software then it is on hardware btw. Like 75% software, 25% hardware. And the two specializations in the degree are either Distributed systems and networks, or Computer vision and AI.
And would I need the Masters degree before I'm qualified to build the beforementioned things ?
really insightful
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.
That's an awesome video! Could you please make one for mechanical and aerospace engineering (aeronautics and astronautics)
That is exactly the idea I had for the next video I do using this format.
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.
Technology degrees are much more easier than engineering degrees plus your completely disregarding computer engineers who build computers and much more.
@@albarrmanzar2909 bro i'm literally a computer engineer , i have two degrees one in mechatronics and one in computer, althought i'm a crypto developer at the moment although they are in technology i know more than a normal "engineer"
@@Retrocaus Simply because you double majored, otherwise this is usually not the case.
Source : I'm an EE with a double major in both EE and electric engineering technology.
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.
It depends on the degree and curriculum
bachelors degree and curriculum this might be the example www.bits-pilani.ac.in/uploads/Pilani_Upload/Placement%20Unit/First%20Degree%20Courses/B.E/BE_Mechanical.pdf
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!!
Mechatronics is definitely a good place to be for that! There are many aspects of missile guidance systems and mechatronics covers quite a few. It’ll be good to figure out specifically what you are more interested in (circuits, mechanical design, programming, etc) when it comes to that field.
MajorPrep decided I'm definitely more interested in circuits. Think electrical would be my best bet?
Video is still very relevant in 2020
Double major in math and cs is pretty comon... would you recomend doing a double in math and Computer E.?
Its easier to get a double major with Comp E because you are required to take more math than CS so more classes will count for both majors.
@@christopherdlg2316 Wait, so if you double majored in Math and CS you take less CS classes than a person majoring in just CS?
You look similar to Marshall from How I Met Your Mother haha. Great video by the way!!
Haha thanks! And That’s definitely the first time I’ve gotten that.

Going to Cal Poly SLO as a rising EE freshman next year. Got any tips/tricks/recommendations/etc? Best video ever for someone going to slo as a freshman... going to share it with my friends :)
How did it go?
amazing video ... hey could you do a video on data science and how
someone form a engineering background could become a data scientist .?
You can do a masters I believe.
@MajorPrep. Do you have any experience with student branches of the IEEE? I was thinking of joining the one near me to fill in the blanks of knowledge I don't have since I took my computer courses at a community college. I was also planning on joining the school's hacking club.
I would like to know about Statisti s Major. Could you make some video about that?
Ion even know what I wanna do with my life anymore *sigh*
Please make a video about Electrical and Computer Science major
Can you do stuff related to Mechanical Engineering?
With this style of video talking about the curriculum? Or just in general?
Like this video
So is computer engineering is good or software engineering
Computer engineering will get you a wider variety of jobs, but most of them veer towards computer hardware. Software engineering is all digital. If i had the choice i would do computer engineering, but you decide if you like more hardware or more coding.
I’m a computer engineering major and I would suggest in you’re planning in going to grad school choose computer engineering as an undergrad and master in computer science. That way you gain some background in hardware. Don’t do it the other way around because it’s harder to get into the masters in computer engineering than computer science since computer science don’t get engineering or hardware knowledge at all
@@jenniferxd8900 please suggest me, I'm freshman of Batchelor in EEE now , but seeing salaries and remote job facilities in cs, my mind forces to change the major but it's impossible in my uni . What should I do? Should I do Masters in cs after Batchelor, won't it be problematic as I won't be having 4 years of basics of CE? Please enlighten me?
@@RLleeo if you can switch now to Computer engineering do it , and choose as most programming classes you can as your electives , Find an internship also as you as you’re in your junior year. I didn’t do that and it’s been difficult getting into any entry level job
Hey MajorPrep. I love your videos and your channel. I am torn between Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I am hoping that you can give me some advice. Please and thank you for your time.
Just do ce lmao it's basically both
so if you were to double major in computer science and electrical engineering, then you should just triple major with computer engineering since its basically already going to be completed?
2 million iq if thats how it works
I am interested in all 3 of these majors :( what should I do?
Hi. I switched from EET to CS. I'd recommend taking free intro courses or even going to a local 2 year college and trying some courses to see what you like or are more motivated in. Asking professionals on forums or reddit that are already in the field may provide insight
Same, what did u choose?
Can you do Computer information systems and Computer Science?
4:14 - Actually designed a CPU; or, actually programmed a CPU?
Can't speak for him, but in our degree, we had a lab where we designed a very crude CPU using a HDL. We also learnt how to program CPUs. This was in electrical eng, so I guess specialised computer engineering courses would definitely design a CPU?
@@nidhinbenny7975 It must have been pretty crude then.
Considering all the architectural requirements that even a basic CPU has such as (clock generator, bus controller, memory/address and program counter registers, memory array, ALU, CU {control Unit}, instruction set architecture . .ect) those around in the early days of the Motorola 8088 processor;
A) I suspect that if you were not simply engaged in digital design exercises that implemented sequential and/or other (including Boolean) logic to implement crude multiplexer and/or ALU functionality with some of the fundamental CPU sub-components such as flip flop logic gates, latches, and/or bi-stable multi-vibrators.
Then . . .
B) You may have been using something like VeriLog HDL with, say, a Xilinx IS environment (XISE) to translate between design language and actual hardware configuration; where the XISE (or some other suitable/better environment/replicator) basically performs the function of PLD simulator so that certain PLD sub-component designs can be modeled and/or tested.
Even so, with the above point “B” . . . .
It is still not quite the same as designing a complete CPU.
As, despite the fact that most students that usually find themselves in front of (a large bread board capable of crudely implementing/supporting the above point “A” and/or) a compiler and/or CPU simulator (as above point “B”) as a means of seeking to understand computer architectures and functionality through the lens of a suitable language/code - whether it be ASM, machine code, or HDL - will ultimately be electronic/electrical and/or computer science engineering students possessing varying HDL experience; which means, in their efforts to comprehend computer architecture/design, they usually wind up throwing themselves at coursework projects that range from;
*Reasonably simple;* HDL and CPU design concepts such as the design;
1) Of some kind of basic full or half-adder that can be used to implement simple ALU functions; a counter/timer; or to define a memory/other addresses.
2) Of a straight forward 16 x 16 random access memory array.
*Through to moderately difficult;* design concepts such as;
1) An ALU design that might follow on from the aforementioned reasonably simple half/full-adder task where students are asked to implement a 32/16 operation ALU that (respectively) outputs a single 16 bit word, or a single 8 bit byte; via logic/functionality that operates on a double set of 16/8 bit operands; in a manner that demonstrates other logic/status bits (such as zero, overflow, and negatives) have also been correctly processed/combined.
2) A single stage/cycle processor capable of performing, say, a single operation per cycle within the constraints of a certain bus size; be it either 8 or 16 bit.
3) Validating interrupt stack pointer/memory functionality by design that, not only supports communication between memory and stack pointer - but also, validates both it and the correct procedural logic/functionality by way of implementing an interrupt event.
4) Implementing a sequential processor (and/or crude) computer whereby the objective might be to continue on from the aforementioned single stage processor design and execute a multi-stage processor that also accommodates the ability to exercise lessons learnt from, say, the above-mentioned interrupt stack pointer/memory functionality design; by demonstrating the multi-stage processor’s capability to accurately jump to designated instruction memory addresses and/or respond via an appropriate event/alarm if this does not occur as expected.
However . . . .
When it is all said/done even the moderately difficult assignments (which I agree are important to learn/master) - including point 4 - often fall well short of designing a completely functional CPU.
As such, unless you were using something like the aforementioned Xilinx ISE (or better) to communicate with your HDL so that it could BOTH properly simulate the various above-mentioned CPU sub-components AND ALSO string them all together into a working CPU; what you were doing - as you fairly/rightly state/accept - would have been remarkably crude and not really something that I would agree constituted designing a complete CPU.
That said as an Electronic/Electrical Engineer myself I respect (you and) anyone that has studied/graduated in these complex and scintillating disciplines.
@@StormCentre88 Aw hell yeah it was crude haha. I think it was mostly in line with B) and 1) and 2) from your reply. It had a "clock" and three registers (I think) - all defined using verilog (I think it was compiled in Quartus?). This was a while back and I don't remember it all that well (I've since gone on to mostly power related engineering and some RF). But I seem to remember that it used an 8 bit "instruction set" - the first 2 bits were the opcode, then two bits for each reg. It didn't do anything except add and store two numbers. Fully agree that this wouldn't be called anything remotely resembling a CPU today, but it was still pretty cool to see the basic principles behind CPU designs.
By the way, thank you for your detailed response - it took me like half a day to read but was worth it :). Would definitely recommend it to my friends to see what components go into a more complex cpu. Do you get to design anything like this in your current job? If so, that is totally awesome. Also, any links to resources on these topics would be very welcome :). Thanks so much Jim and good luck with everything!
@@nidhinbenny7975 I don’t get to do much of it anymore but when I was younger and still coming through the ranks one of the best projects I worked on (aside from a few military projects related to synthetic apetures, radar design/processing, and/or sub-surface control of unmanned armed/other vessels) was a phase coherent fully active line (acoustic) array; or speaker/monitor.
It involved 4 separate Sharc processors whereby 3 of them each implemented their own dedicated digital Xover filter (this was before digital filters become popular and easily possible) as well as a dedicated D/A conversions for each of the LF, MF and HF transducers.
The 4th Sharc processor was used as a master processor/controller; as back then there was not enough memory/speed grunt available within the uP market offerings to be able to easily run the filter algorithm as well as implement the A/D and/or D/A conversions and any other frequency, phase, and/or amplitude correction within the digital domain for the entire audio BW.
Some of this research eventually went into some of the very early iterations of the 500C here (below link; page 28) back before Neumann bought Klein&Hummel out.

Cheers.
@@StormCentre88 That is so AWESOME! Love hearing about people who have done real design work in the world :). My work has so far mainly been in making sure we comply with harmonics generation limits for the various plants that we monitor - its not exactly lots of design work but I kind of like it and still get to learn a good deal. Thank you for sharing Jim - I hope a lot of young EEs/students get to see this and realise how cool and diverse our field can be!
Computer design or building a computer is what my child wants to do.?
Dear Zack,
From your videos, I'm sure that my career is of an IT Professional and for that, I will have to opt for Computer Engineering and I have no interest in doing Sofware Engineering and theory work of Computer Science. The only catch is that I'm a commerce student but I have Computer Science and Computer Application as my major subjects since high school. So, my question is can I opt for computer engineering without science??
My passion is building computers and doing all kinds of hardware stuff. During my free time at home, I usually disassemble and reassemble electronic gadgets to do some R&D on my own to understand the workings.
I would recommend EE over CE. Most of the hardware jobs are EE graduates
If you are from India and want to do electrical engineering, then you know you have to take Physics, Chemistry, Math and Biology/CS/Electronics, write entrance exams and go to university
Even if you apply in foreign countries for computer engineering.
Depending on the country/region/state and university; you might or may not be able to, since a lot of universities have criteria to have taken subjects related to the major.
If you want to study in India, then
NIOS
(National Institute of Open Schooling)
Research about it
Depending on when you take admission, you won't have to spend 2 years doing senior high school, you can do it in the time period of 6 to 12 months.
If you are lucky and have researched well.
Take application here, and choose PCM as your subjects and study take the exam.
Then write entrance exams like your
state cet, kyp, jee etc.
As they accept NIOS.
Can you do a video about mechatronics vs physics
I think i will choose kovak aim shooting course
Please make video on what mechanical engineer do.. ie about the their jobs
Do you think I could get jobs in factories and industrial plants with a CE degree? I love computers and programming but I would like to get jobs in heavy industry environments
you would as a controls engineer 100% work with heavy industrial equipment if you desired
Hey Is it true that CE is more electrical than programming because I love programming more but I want to do CE because I not only want to program but I want to be able to take the computer apart and fix devices
Exactly I know this is late but which major did you end up joining ?
Hey great video! I've realised after watching this that computer engineering might be great for me.
Just a query though. How complementary are EE and CS at jobs? And will a Comp. Eng be at a disadvantage as he will be competing with specialists in their singular fields(Jack of all trades, master of none)? Or do I have to not worry about that and I can specialise in one of them later on at work? Will both of my skills be utilised at work?
Btw, very informative video. Thanks!
may be pretty late
Lol (tell me if you decided by now
or are you already studying?)
i'm not an expert
in fact i'm just an at lost
college student just like you!
but from what i've read in Quora, Forums,and basically many discussions over the comparaisons
many do say
that even Electrical Engineering
may qualifie you for
Software Engineer job actually,
sometimes-althought not so often-
companies even accept
Physics and Math degrees,
But for sure CompEn is
the most eligible of the lot!
Learn your coding better more outside what you learn at college,
and most probably it would be alright they say.
make more research tho
and i really hope someone actually with an actual good idea
answers this question of yours
for confirmation purpose and advices...
Good luck!
@@M-yue882 Hey thanks I'm still in high school lol. Yeah that makes sense. The skills you pick up in jobs are also important, not just the college curriculum. Also coding is kinda easy, do it just depends on how much importance you willing to give to each area.
@@sentientartificialintelligence Hey! Ended up taking electrical engineering after more research, loving it so far!
"specialists in their singular field " usually have a PhD and or 10 years experience. Fresh graduates even from EE and CS just make coffee for the "specialists in their singular field ". When you go to work you will soon realize this fast . All undergraduates even from EE and CS are jack of all trades and just because you took some electives doesn't change this fact.
How is it going now?
Do you take programming courses in EE?@@arcanefire7511
what about triple or quadriple majors ?
please someone advice to choose right for me I don't know best power or communication engineering
