Well, over the summer my job description was R&D engineer for a semiconductor startup (Fultec Semiconductor) and a medical device startup (Cierra, Inc.) (yeah i worked like 80 hours a week). I lied in my interview since they required a grad student but hey, as long you do your job nobody complains.

I'm still in school, I am a coterminal student. That's the only reason I'm responding to you at 1 AM on a friggin' saturday night, haha; got a project due in 24 hours

I go to Stanford, where every American's brain explodes because the curve gets ruined by people from some genius school in Singapore or Soviet Russia. A surprising majority of grad students are from UC's (I know a few from UCSB coincidentally), state schools, random colleges in the midwest.

at ucsc, computer engineers are the EECS (Geeks) people.

Never heard of an addison shelton, but he's probably in there...there's about 1500 employees around here.

as you get higher and higher in the EE classes, the difference between physics and ee becomes more faded, and you will end up taking classes that border on them. only now is optical engineering being reconized as an engineering discipline - it used to be applied physics.

Also, whether you choose EE or CE, (or even CS) you'll be "hating yourself." they're difficult majors and with require you to be in lab until the wee hours of the morning a lot. Plan on getting to know Baskin really really well..=)

all three will require some elements of the other two, but you can expect the majority of the subject matter to look like this:

EE - MATH
CE - LOGIC
CS - PROGRAMMING

have you taken cmpe100? intro to logic design is the seminal computer engineering class...if you like that class, ce is probably the way to go. if you like ee70, ee is the way to go. and if you liked 12b, then cs is probably the way to go.

just remember you'll have math, logic, and programming in all three.

yea haha I know. I know baskin pretty well already and I hate it... oh do I hate it lol.

Haven't taken CE 100. I think I'm going to take it Spring. Like I don't mind the Math/ Logic so much. yea a lot of my friends are CE majors and sio far we are in a lot of the same classes but that should be ending next qiuarter
