A lot of CE degrees are EE with just the barest veneer of software to meet ABET requirements.
Mine had data structures and software engineering as CE-specific requirements (along with a dash of microarchitecture and HDL/FPGA stuff), the CS algorithms course was an elective that obviously gave priority to CS majors.
Beyond that, we had a department head that really only cared about shoving as many EEs as possible into the PG&E hiring pipeline.
- imtringued 6y agoCompared to software creating a circuit design is a complete nightmare. With software you can get away with a lot of shady things but in EE every tiny detail can matter. You can do very simple PCBs as a hobbyist but it won't even compare to what the professionals are capable of doing. In software we have hobbyists creating extremely important libraries that are used by millions of people.
