I double majored in EE and CS. My personal experience as well as observing others is that EE curriculum is "harder" in two aspects. First, EE students seem to have a more difficult time grasping advanced EE concepts than CS students do grasping advanced CS concept. Secondly, EE students spend more time in the lab working on projects. What I found interesting is the contrast in perceived difficulty where the two majors overlapped. I'll give two examples: 1) Digital logic design was both an EE and CS class. Literally the same class taken by both majors. For EE majors, it was one of the easier classes that people breezed through. For CS majors, it was considered their most difficult class. I remember seeing CS t-shirts with jokes about taking this class 2-3 times. 2) EE had a single required programming class, which basically covered programming from the ground up and finishing up at the topic of loops. That's probably the equivalent of the first week of the CS introduction class. So many EE students found this class almost impossible to wrap their minds around. Not sure what my point is, but obviously different people have an easier time grasping different concepts. Perhaps another interpretation is that people go into EE who should not. I saw many people who wanted to go into CS but didn't because their parents pressured them into a "real career" like engineering or medicine.
