After a couple years in industry, I personally have come to appreciate getting an Electrical Engineering degree instead of CS. For me, a C background was enough to get me thinking, and "on the job" programming problems drove me into higher & higher languages. I don't think I'd pick up basic physics, signals processing or Maxwell's equations on the clock, though. I'm glad I had a chance to study all that in school.
YMMV
- jerf 16y agoFor what it's worth, my CS education included all of those things, though I suspect you probably went deeper with signal processing than I did. Basic physics and electromagnetism were required by the core, signal processing was a 400-level course so while I will admit I only took one, it did cover quite a lot at a deep level, it wasn't a sophomore introduction.
