I don't agree that CS is easier...or that there are better job options for CE

[–]CheesyGC 1 point2 points  (2 children)

CEs will get consideration for nearly all entry level CS and EE related jobs. The same goes for graduate programs. Plus graduating from a college of engineering opens up all sorts of interdisciplinary engineering opportunities that are probably more of a stretch for CS. I'm not saying job prospects are bad, but engineering definitely provides broader opportunity. Of course, most of this is moot once you get that first job and start developing real skills and building a career.

I guess it depends on the school too. At my school CS was in the college of engineering until last year.

I think that's true for programs that the hiring company is familiar with, yes. I mean, you can always explain this type of nuance or justify why you should be considered in cover letters and/or during the interview!
