Um, yes

If you listened Darby I said real computer science is taught at a Berkeley or MIT EECS like program OR under a "computer engineering" major at another university. But just be aware of the pitfall in majoring in "computer engineering"

um no again. instead of bantering, i will just have you look at the UW's cs program degree reqs:

http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/ugrad/prospective/prospectiveforms.html

No offense, but that looks kinda weak.

what part?

Even the CE programs seems to emphasize the software element MUCH more than the hardware. There's no shared EE courses taken with all other engineering majors to really qualify the CE major as a true Engineer.

~Engineering courses= signals and systems, fluid mechanics, material science, structure and analysis, upperdivision physics and math, etc... classes common to all engineering majors in berkeley regardless of specialization. If you choose to be EECS, then you take CS courses in addition to those.

Those are the CompE requirements at my school

There's plenty of CS and plentry of traditional "engineering"

Now there's a great Computer Engineering school

someone says urbanna champaign be really good...and yes that is really true...they probably is the best well-rounded engineering school..they're good @ all fields of engineering...

i attend UCSD as an EE major....the program's ok....it's really hard...sigh....

yeah bioeng here is good...i knw a lot of people in that major..and they're dying...it's a ton of work they have to go through...actaully any engineering is a ton of work...

tier 1/2 schools for engineering schools are all the same for the most part IMO for undergrad

for example my worst EE prof is going to MIT to teach

for graduate level though its a whole nother story

IMO Caltech is the best

with MIT close behind

i was looking at the CS grad requirements... The inner core seems to be kidn of weak, and having to pick only four from the outer core list. This may be because the amounts of credits needed in stuff like Visual, Literary, and Performing Arts (20 hours?? Thats almost as much the inner core requires you!). Unless I missed somethign in my brief glance, it puts /too/ much emphisis on gen ed. Hell, the "Area's of Knowledge" have more credits than the entire CS specific line. Uck.


Edit
However, the CE course is something that looks much better balanced than their CS course.

the general education is a requirement of the school of arts and sciences, it is not the fault of the CS dept. 20 hours isn't that much btw, it's just 4 classes.

and who cares... MS and Intel both recruit heavily from our dept. last i heard, Intel hired more graduates from us than any other school they recruit at. so we're doing fine without more requirements

best engineering school - definitely not UCLA.


best school to go to and have a good college experience, with pretty girls, good weather and lots of places to go nearby, and
a DECENT engineering school - UCLA

I hope you're kidding. I have no respect for my school *sigh*
