Computer Sciences Majors?

Question

When looking up college majors in each college I want to apply I constantly search for Computer Engineering, basically building computers right? Well, I keep seeing that less and less but mostly see under the Academics or courses or whatever "Computer Sciences" Does this include Computer Engineering? Need Help! Any help is appreciated Im a stressed out High School Senior who has no idea what hes doing...TT.TT

Answer 1

You're right, it is being offered less and less as a standalone major. Probably because computers have turned into commodities where it's hard enough to make a buck without having expensive engineering talent on board. Even supercomputers are now just clusters of PCs. The engineering emphasis now is in CPU design

If you still really want to do this, look under Electrical Engineering, where some of the engineering schools will offer some level of specialization in CE courses, even if they don't offer a degree in it.

The University of Illinois used to be hot in this area, so you might look there. And any of the Institute of Technology schools.
