Gonna start my final year soon.. currently deciding which major to take. so hoping to get additional insight from u guys

The requirement is to take 3 subjects from the major u choose + 1 subject from any other major.. total 4 subjects.

Im currently inclined to take Computer Systems engin major + Mobile communications. however, seems like there are a lot of comp systems graduates aredi. so would i be competing with the ppl doing computer science and all? Instrumentation and contrl subjects focus more on plants. and im not that interested in micro electronics and Power.

should i take Computer Systems engin major + Mobile communications
or Communications engin major + microcontroller?

ill just include all the options so u guys can see.

which university you from?
well, i am final year student of E&E also. but, i am currently majoring in Microelectronic. i study photonic, interagrate circuit fabrication, fpga VLSI......

in fact, the most important is you choose your insterest.

thnx for the reply.

Im currently in UTP. my interests would be the 2 combinations i listed but still not decided yet.

EE=hardware + firmware + software

My opinion, just mix, telecommunication, microcontroller, electrical power, vlsi........this will give u better advantage in job interview...

hi joana, where you working now?

i'm working as an IC design now, my VLSI,semicon and microcontroller subjects benefits me during the interview.... :-)

my take on this matter is to truly specialise in a given field. I wouldn't want to be in a jack of all trades, master of none position. If you even have a remote interest in communications, why not just major in that?

I'm from Computer Engineering background. Now, I'm in the production line field.
