I highly highly suggest you do a CS minor if you do EE. I'm an EE major and tbh the job market blows, the vast majority of the highest quality jobs are coding related. A CS minor that covers all the bases would server you well even if you don't decide to go down the coding route (I hate coding, but moderately regret not going through with it and learning more)

isnt that computer engineering?
the CE program that im in involves almost all the aspects of EE but i do programming courses instead of the electives that EE's get
for the CS part in my program, i do courses on C++, java, assembly, data structures/programming, comp architecture, software engineering and operating systems. hopefully thats enough

OK, here's the thing: innovations and domestic demand are highest in software. haji hit the nail on the head, on page 1.

Once you find a field you are happy with, you are motivated to develop yourself and become competent. And if you're great at what you do, you will ALWAYS be able to find a job, no matter the demand fluctuation.

I think haji had a great idea about minoring in CS. Take a few lower division programming courses (C/C++ if you can help it, since this is closest to hardware engineering/assembly), and if you like programming, take the CS minor. If you love it, major in CS.

Knowing how to program makes you viable in every field.

CE depends on the institution. Some places, it's very software heavy. At UCSD, CE majors take (almost) all the same classes as CS majors in addition to 4 more EE courses.
People who fail to distinguish Socratic Method from malicious trolling are sadly stupid and not worth a response.

Thank you so much for everything guys.

I decided I'm going to go for Industrial or ECE. Honestly, this was my plan all the time and my dad kept telling me to do BME but I just don't feel like I'm going to like it. AT ALL.

2) Industrial Engineering is about to make a BIG comeback, especially in the western world. As soon as the current recession/depression passes, assuming that everything doesn't completely go wrong, manufacturing is going to make a big resurgence in North America and Europe. With Asia coming to the end of its industrial development cycle, and with Asia holding massive debts of Western countries, there will come a day when China, India, etc, no longer will ship cheap goods to the West in exchange for worthless paper money. New development in manufacturing, hard goods, commodities, etc, is going to have to pick up or else the West is going to drown in debt.


Mind I ask how you found it it's going to make a big comeback? Like is there a news source for this? Or an article, by any chance. Anyone can help me on this, I just want to show my dad that Industrial Engineering isn't a bad Engineering subject to go with. Even though he tells me I can do anything I want, he's very stubborn on the fact I won't get anywhere far with it due to it not being "hot" in the "job market". I really want to prove him wrong.

Thanks!!

It's not in the news, it's just my perspective - an educated guess based on the current geopolitical situation, the movement of capital in the global market, etc. That's to say that it will be making a comeback in the US, specifically. Still, my outlook is that life in the US is going to get a lot poorer nevertheless - at least as compared to the rest of the world - but, if you're going to be there, I think things like industrial commodities are going to be leading the way in moving the economy forward. Search around youtube or whatever for news clips of Jim Rogers, Marc Faber, Peter Schiff - these are all investment types and they're all saying basically the same thing : Asia -> future looks good, US -> future looks bad; big money in industrial commodities, agriculture, hard goods.

JUST DONT DO HARDCORE HARDWAAAAAAAAAAAAAREEEEEEEEEEEEE

Minoring in CS is really demanding on top of the standard EEorCE courseload, but it should be tremendously rewarding, try to get up to 300 level courses, where you take a course that teaches you multiple languages (I forget what our equivalent was, it was taught by Kernighan), Operating Systems, Networking maybe?
