Andrea, Los Angeles AddedTuesday, June 2, 2015 at 11:31 PM Choosing the best major I will be attending college in the fall and am stuck between two majors. I cannot decide between electrical engineering with a focus in computer engineering or computer engineering + computer science. I am more interested in software development and have taken a computer science course in high school, but I feel that electrical engineering gives me more flexibility (in terms of getting a job) yet limits my abilities to go into software.

I would recommend you to go into a college program that you like, but take a few classes in areas outside your expertise. Once you learn more about different topics, your opinions might change. I viewed college as a time to explore different paths. I started as a computer engineer in college, then move to electrical engineer and material science for PhD, then who knows, maybe I will even do nanobioengineering in the future. Everything seems inter-related to everything nowadays. To sum up, my advice would be go for your top choice, but get a breath of expertise in college to ease your transition to grad school or the job market! Internships, summer research programs, participation in engineering competitions, are all great ways to built a portfolio of multi-disciplinary practical skills. Good luck!
