My degree is actually in Computer Engineering. I have, to my sadness, never worked as a Computer Engineer. As much as I want to, I’ve never designed a computer. Very few places still actually design computers. Taking a processor chip someone else designed and plopping some memory and a few peripherals around it is not Computer Engineering. Buying a processor core IP and incorporating it with other IP you bought isn’t either. That’s all just system integration. I actually learned to design computers. And I learned from professors who had actually designed computers. But I could never get a job actually designing computers. However, I have contented myself as an electrical engineer and new-product developer. I’m happy. What I have seen of Computer Engineering curriculums lately disappoints me. And what I see in Computer Engineering faculty is largely people who have never designed computers. Speaking as a degreed Computer Engineer (BS CPRE ‘89, Iowa State University) my strong advice to a young person today is Electrical Engineering. Get the EE degree.

The one thing which wasn't mentioned is the curriculum is really hard, a lot of hours in the classroom and a tonne of homework. It ain't easy, these courses have weed out classes to get rid of those who don't stud, persevere and abstract concepts If you go into it at college or university be prepared to work, no free rides.

Love this

And computer science is basically computer engineering without the early engineering requirements--Statics, digital logic, etc. Instead you have more focus on algorithms and data structures and what not. Lots of the later courses are the same though.

Fundamental basics. There's what a student learns to repeat out of a book (first stages of learning) and actually understanding the material. A mentor of mine that is retired would on occasion challenge the conclusions of other engineers about the fundamentals. There's also the skills required to write/present a (for instance) Project plan or RCA. Works estimation of time/safety. Cross functional planning. Then there's the accountancy side that's expected but you're not trained for. Meetings that are not about engineering but are about cost management. Etc. None of it counts without the fundamentals.

There is future for electrical engineering students, the world depends on electrical engineering students who gain skills

I like this! A good Control Systems Engineer requires topics from both these curriculums.
