[quote=Anonymous]I'm a Computer Engineering (CpE) grad from VT. At the time (90s), it was one of the 6 disciplines within EE, but specialized enough to have its own major. Back then, you took the EE CpE courses in the Eng school and CS courses from the CS department in the Arts and Sciences College. Now, CS is in the Eng College at VT. In short, CpE felt like a merged EE (specialized in the CpE discipline) and CS degree. I had many, many job opportunities and options on the hardware and software side. Some of my friends went to Intel, AMD, IBM, HP, IT consulting with the Big 5 (5 back then), and GE. These were the "cool" places to be recruited to back then. There was no Google, Amazon was a startup, and Apple wasn't the Apple we know today. It's funny, I didn't like the software side in school, but enjoyed it more once I started working as a summer intern at GE. I think it had something to do with building something meaningful and real.
