EE vs CompE for FPGA engineering roles
Hello everyone,
I just finished my first year at Tech as an EE major. I am aiming to break into the VLSI chip design, FPGA, ASICs, etc space at HFT firms, and genuinely don’t know if I should switch from EE to CompE and take the CHEA/Sys Arc threads, or stay in EE (Sig processing/ circuit tech threads) and take CompE electives. I’m scared that the CompE classes don’t dive deep enough into the physics of things, while the EE classes don’t go as broad into the relevant coursework required. Additionally, the CompE electives are sometimes restricted only to CompE majors, so I won’t be able to take the classes certain semesters.
If there is anyone who took these classes that could help guide me and potentially correct my logic please feel free to respond 🙏 .
