CS is the only option. If you choose EE or CE, you will turn out to be a terrible programmer because you can't actually code, and if you do code, it is shit.

I can only half agree with this.
You do get good coders from EE, but they are a minority. People generally don't go into EE for the programming, in fact, almost everyone else in my EE course either hates it or doesn't understand it.

You do know that this thread is the 3rd google result for "Electrical Engineering vs. Computer Science" right?

Results like this might hurt Google's reputation.

actually, i got it mostly figured out. major in eecs, enroll in both ee and cs classes every semester or quarter, and then drop the classes that don't have pretty girls. (this can very easily result in you dropping all the classes, in which case, change your major to psych or business)

Im gay, but there arnt too many attractive boys in EECS anyway.
I want to study software engineering degree for 3yrs and later go study electrical engineering for 2 yrs. so as I can be more marketable and being in full control of my establishment

In my CS program we have to take 3 hardware based classes.
Circuit Analysis, Operating Systems and Computer Architecture. Efficient assembly code is highly emphasized.
1. Spend 4 years getting CS degree
2. Realize that EE and CE are very close to CS
3. Spend 1 more year taking around 12 classes
4. Graduate with 3 degrees!
5. ?????????????
6. DEBT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go for the CS degree if you want to do hard core software stuff like kernel, AI, database, design algorithm, software engineering, neural network, system engineering, graphics, DB, networking, etc... Go for EE if you want to do unmanned/autonomous vehicles (car, airplanes, etc..), design circuit, microprocessors, etc. It's hard to compare the two, one deals with mostly hardware, and the other deals with mostly software. The math and science courses required for both degrees are 95% similar. It all depends on what you enjoy doing, hardware or software; but remember, every piece of hardware get its intelligence or being controlled by a piece of software.
ps. just ignore all the anonymous posts about computer science can't do anything. They dissed CS because they probably feel insecure because they didn't have a CS degree. I work with electrical eng. and when it comes to software, database, networking, etc.. they can't do anything without coming to us computer scientists at the office. I've seen people who graduated with EE and don't know much about hardware at all, and there are also CS graduates who don't much about the software at all. It all depends on how you got your degree. Did you actually studied hard for it or just did the minimum to get by.

You'd think someone talking about their own CS degrees had taken basic courses in logic. I guess you took classes on "manipulative speech" instead?
Do some programming if you're a homosexual, otherwise pick automechanics and read SICM in your free time.

There are hundreds of places in every medium or large city where you can learn C++,Java,HTML,.Net,Databases etc for paying a small fee. If you want to enter the software industry you can do that anytime in your career. But how many places do you see offering analog circuit design,circuit theory,signals & systems,VLSI,HDL,digital signal processing etc ?
This is not because there is no demand for EE skills but because you can't pick up these skills later in your career.
The truth is that CS is much easier to pass and do well at the university level whereas EE is much harder.
In the professional world what really matters is your quality as an engineer not whether you are CS/EE.
If you can do a job correctly,reliably and efficiently you will never get laid off.
Whatever you choose,study it for making a living out of it & not because it secures a good job initially.

>but because you can't pick up these skills later in your career.
Why not? Just pick up the required books and read on it. It will of course cost you if you need access to a lab.

I want to live in a world full of attractive bisexual men and women who are very well groomed and dressed (think 50's office lady/man attire, but the guys are skinnier) who design intelligent software and hardware while wearing expensive clothes and having sex with each other from time to time. Where can I find this utopia?

(HW) Digital design is not that different from low-level programming. It may compile to different things, and everything is fully parallel, but doesn't mean it's not programming.

They don't, but EEers would generally do the CSers jobs better if they did get them.
With the exception that "software engineers" today are to "computer science" as feng shui is to architecture and construction.

The only parts of EE that are relevant today are those that border on CS, but of course CS is much more relevant and interesting. Go for CS unless you want to spend your career fucking around with radio frequencies or some other ancient technology.
