    Programs What's the Best Option? EE/CS Dual Major vs CE

    I'm still exploring which field is for me, and to ask which is better would be pointless. So instead I want to know: what exactly is the difference between a Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Dual Major/Degree as opposed to a Computer Engineering Major? I realize computer engineering...
