Actually my opinion here defers from the others

For me, electrical eng over computer eng.

Why?

Electrical engineering is more specialized, comp eng from what I understand is approx half electrical engineering and half CS.

The technical aspects of cs (coding, Data structures, etc) can be self taught easily, compared to eee.

At the end of the day, we'll only be using less than 10% of what we learn in uni when we go out and work. Why not learn smt that's harder to learn, as if it's harder to learn and you manage to learn it, it means u should be able to learn the easier thing

At the end of the day, it's easy to learn to code, but hard to apply what you have learnt to write a good code. Though a background in cs will teach you How to do so, these skills are best self taught.

Yes they include electronics such as diodes and semiconductors in their modules.
But I'm not really keen about electrical components.
Does it suggest that I am not suited to join electrical engineering?
I don't really know what I want to learn, but computer engineering seems like a good choice cause it has both hardware and software.
As to the future prospects, that is one the reason I chose computer engineering
Hehe

True as well, but there are some techniques that can be only taught by some.

Thank you all for your opinions
All in all I'd like to declare something, I love technology, but I'm not sure whether I like diodes and circuit boards.
It really seems as though computer engineering is a better choice, but the opportunity of studying in NUS and the opportunities it will provide me with is a bit tempting.  unsure.gif

Hmm but I feel the cs content in ceg is a little too diluted. After all, being a jack of all trades but a master of none isn't really a good idea... Plus when you're working, you'll likely be able to pick up the necessary skills on the job
