Psychology..... you must have a field day on these forums! ;)

Yeah, when I first got to college I was going he IT route but realized I'd rather keep it as a hobby. Decided to go this way instead...yeah, quite a bit different.

Penn State University, Erie Campus
Mechanical Engineering/ME Technology.

Last semester I was ME. 3.44 GPA. Amazed I did that well. Calculus was hell.

This semester, switched to MET. Calc 2 is still hell, but the teacher is good about giving partial credit, otherwise I would have dropped the class by now.
Absolutely must maintain a 3.00 cumulative GPA per semester though, or my financial aid goes away.

Seriously though, the data you get will always be skewed because only the ones who want to show off their gpa will post in the thread.
Not to mention the BS factor.
What's your point?

Texas A&M University

Electrical Engineering Major

My GPA is good enough to get me a full-ride+monthly stipend for graduate school at the #12 Engineering university in the nation :)

Noticed that a lot of ppl are in "computer engineering"...what is that exactly? what do u guys learn?

More related to comptuer hardware/architecture i think

Wouldn't that just be covered in electrical engineering?
...


Sorry but at Berkeley there aren't so many engineering majors besides the core ones...we have "options" instead of different majors.

Computer engineering is sort of a hybrid between computer science and electrical engineering. Their focus is on computer hardware, which is generally not the focus of a pure EE major.

At my university CE majors have to take practically all of the computer science classes as well as a variety of EE classes. Although, the number of required classes for the EE part of their degree program is less compared to the degree requirements of a pure EE major.

*puts on flamesuit*

In my opinion the CE degree program is more challenging than the CS program. The reason why is that in CE you have to practically take all the stuff a CS majors take (data structures, advanced data structures, algorithms, theory of computation, and the big mamu: compilers) in addition to some challenging EE classes.

Personally, I don't think I could cut it as a CE major. Hence, I am doing CS. I'm just not that good at heavy duty computational/physics type math.

Oh cool... I was thinking about going to grad school for industrial design.


Right now I'm at the University of Maryland getting a degree in theatre (scenic design)
