- galangalalgol 4y agoMy cs department had a lot of fairly expensive computing clusters that got updated fairly rapidly. Lots of embedded boards that got updated less rapidly except that they got fried by students often enough. EE had a lot more expensive lab equipment to be sure. But their profs probably get paid less, not competing with CS jobs. It is still kind of strange toe that EE gets paid so much less. It is so much harder. But we just don't need as many EE I guess?
