I'm a computer engineer at UIUC and honestly choosing EE or CE depends on whether you want to do significant coding or not. The higher classes put a lot of emphasis on coding in CE and EE is dealing with more energy systems/electrical devices as its name states. I prefer CE since coding is much more interesting to me than working with electrical circuits. CE just integrates coding in a hardware sense while also giving you a lot of coding within operating system platforms. Good luck :)

Yea i'm kind of debating the two, CE seems better for me I don't know hw interested in circuits I real am to the extend they use/learn them in EE.

you just want to go into engineering because it pays ok and has math in it?


if someone likes math they should choose something with a low salary and doesn't need math right
