my favorite was abstract algebra. in fact, i think that was the only math class in all of college that i enjoyed.

 

i hate math. thats why i went into IT (network security and maint.) instead of comp science.

 

Don't electrical engineer/computer science majors design hardware as well as software? EECS majors at UCB were the biggest nerds on the planet but they were actually more intelligent that the rest of the campus combined.

 

EE/ECE people design hardware. as a CS major, i took 2 intro to hardware classes...but other than that, no design.

 

I did the first 2 years of college as CS. I liked it but decided I didn't want it to be my career.

It's true, you need to take the math, but that's it really. There is a lot of logic involved, though. My program required this hard-ass philosophy course. I decided to do economics instead.

 

if you're not strong in math, chose another major.

 

At rutgers Computer science and electrical engineering are intertwined together. They a good bit of math, up to calc 3 or 4 and some other math specifically for computers. They also take electrical engineering classes. I'm taking some EE classes right now and they are a BITCH. I've never been to good with resistors, capicators, inductors, etc etc etc so I find it hard.

There is a good amount of work for any engineering degree. The IT degree is probably not nearly as hard overall.

I am a software engineer for a financial company and I absolutely LOVE my job. I do use a lot of math in my line of work (mostly linear algebra) but many engineering jobs require very little math (just HS algebra).

Take a Java/OOP course and see if you like it.....if you get some satisfaction from writing programs maybe CS is the right major for you . I'm suggesting Java because it's simple, powerful, and mainstream.

 

To add onto this, if your not into math don't choose any Engineering major!
