What kind of high school students should consider majoring in electrical and computer engineering at NJIT?
Electrical and computer engineering should be the major of choice for students who want to learn how to make a better iPod or cell phone or how to make a faster computer. If a student likes gadgets and is interested in how they work, he or she should consider majoring in electrical and computer engineering. ECE is a major for students who like science and math as well as computers and electronics. It’s for students who want to work on innovative technologies, may it be in automation, robotics, computers, communications or electronics. Many of these technologies feed into other industries such as airplanes, cars and manufacturing, so I consider electrical and computer engineering to be the driver of technological innovation. How does computer engineering differ from computer science? Computer engineering majors work on the hardware as well as the software of computers. Computer science students focus on software. By hardware I mean computer engineering students learn how to build parts
