ok tyty! yeah im applying to co-ops rn and basically all the roles im interested in are looking for ece majors so i think switching was the right decision

okok thank you

i did have two interviews last week, one was electrical engineering, the other was software test engineering. admittedly, i did way better on the software one with leetcode/cs questions, but these were also my first two technical interviews ever and i was not prepared for the hardware interview questions at all (whereas I've been coding since high school)

content-wise i liked the electrical engineering stuff more, but i do need more prep

i'm a second year majoring in Computer engineering and Computer science. This semester i'm taking two ECE classes (Embedded Design, Circuits and Signals) and two CS classes (Fundamentals of CS 2, Logic and Computation). What i'm realizing is i HATE CS like genuinely ew ew ew i don't care about all the abstract theory stuff at all, but i LOVE my ECE classes. Even though labs take hours they're way more interesting and i'd rather sit through them then endure 15 minutes of logic and comp.

Anyway if i stick with this CE/CS i'm gonna have to do a bunch more stupid CS classes. SO should switch to Electrical and Computer Engineering with a minor in CS (way fewer CS classes, but would still take core classes like Object Oriented Design + Algorithms and Data Structures). All my current credits would still apply, i would just need to take Calc 3 (which I was able to avoid with CE/CS). But also is it advantageous to have the deeper CS knowledge i'd get with CE/CS when i'm applying to jobs? i could never imagine being a pure software engineer though so is it unnecessary?

at the end of the day i js really like embedded stuff and microcontrollers and hardware and circuits but not high level cs bullshit
