FAQ
Is EE hard?
Consistently ranked one of the hardest engineering majors. Math-density and abstract content (E&M, signals) trip many students.
EE or CS?
Different paths. EE for hardware, embedded, power. CS for software, web, ML. CompE bridges both.
What's the job market like?
Strong across semiconductors, power, defense, telecom. Starting salaries $75-90k typical.
