EE is more geared toward theory and IC level design, EET is more hands on and geared toward board level design. In the job market, the two degrees are mostly interchangable unless you get into ultra high tech stuff. The main difference I see is that EET students spend A LOT of time doing lab work and learning how to use test equipment, whereas EE students don't do very much lab work at all.

There are of course differing opinions on who is better prepared right out of school. My experience is most EE's don't know how to use much equipment right out of school, but are much better at the "math" end of things. I knew more about how to design simple circuits as a tech then many BSEE's I used to work with. (I can hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth now )

Example: Purdue EE's work on things like carbon nanotubes, EET's design and build amplifier circuits, controllers, program PLC's, troubleshoot circuits etc.....

I have already been through differential equations, and found them easier to understand than integration...go figure. I got my A's and B's in my Calc courses...I just have to be able to apply it in every course from now on. RF (communications) uses a lot of it.

So what is a "computer engineer"? Software or hardware? Network design? There is an option for EET at Purdue called CPET which is Computer Programming Engineering Technology that is mostly a few extra structured programming classes and some networking courses.

My Prof put a comment beside his E-Mail... "Do not mail me with trash... just questions on Assignment/ Exam ONLY~!!!!"

Geez what a hardass.

That sucks that your college experience is like that. I take many of my classes at a Purdue campus in my hometown about 30 minutes from the main campus. The program is exactly the same, but class sizes are REALLY small compared to the main campus. The instructors are working with classes 1/10th the size of Lafayette. The downside is the lab equipment is not as good.

Every one of my instructors knows me and all the other students by name, and they are all available most of the day to answer questions.

I guess I should feel lucky. I have attended three seperate Purdue campuses while moving around my state from job to job, and they have all been excellent.

Hey Seph....

On an off note...GO HUSKERS (I was born about 20 miles from Lincoln you Wildcat you)

We'll get you guys next year (maybe )

[Sephiroth]

Hey come on, we almost never beat the Huskers, let us enjoy it while we can . I've never actually been a Wildcat fan; the fact that I'm going to K-State is proof that the underworld has frozen over, I used to actually be a Huskers fan myself!

A computer engineer is an electrical engineer with a specialty in computers. So essentially, we're electrical engineers that know how to do basic programming just for good measure. The computer engineering and electrical engineering programs have some major overlap, you can barely tell the two apart. What you said about engineering and engineering tech makes sense, we don't do squat lab-wise. I had a short lab (like two hours per week) in my digital logic course, and I haven't had a single lab since (unless you count gen. ed. stuff like chemistry). The one lab that I have had was thrown together, it was a disorganized mess. All computer engineering students do is math math math, I can solve almost any circuit you throw at me, but can barely use a multimeter

hm... this ATI Graphics Bar and Grill has become a Study/School Pub..... that sucks~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not really, Speedbump and I just had a micro-football discussion for a second there

Seph,

So how many hours of actual math courses do you take for a BS in CE? Probably Calc 1 (mostly derivatives) Calc 2 (mostly integration), and a whole semester on Differential Eq's?

I'm not really sure what the differences in actual coursework would be. I know as a EET major, we are pretty much expected to take 18+ credit hours per semester + labs to graduate in 4 years. It's a bitch. It seems like if we weren't in lab all of the time we would have some time to do a little homework

I'm just curious as to what the real differences between EE, CE, EET and CPET are. I never really looked into it. I know the EE guys like to look down their nose at us until they actually have to design or build something...

i know that... i didn't post that in Hot Deals cause I think no one interested in the PC2100 anymore and it will not gonna sell... so i just try to imform ppl who interested in this.... not hurry in selling it since it's sitting in my closet....

anyways...

EE, CE, EET and CPET are

what are these??? special terms about Engineers stuff??? never heard it in Canada... or i just miss it....

[chuson1]

btw...
are you guys (those in University) into Computer games or clubbing and stuff like that??
recently i played TOO MUCH CS and SOFII in da past year and getting bored... so start clubbing (not rave... have quit long ago) but start getting bored too.... so what kind of other Activities can I do.... ???

"YOU SHTOP BREAKING DOW MY SHIDDY WALL YOU DAMNED MONGORIANS"

HEHE ... I love that episode.

[Speedbump]

Chuson....you don't want my advice on recreational activities if you already have problems getting homework done....hehe
