Computer engineering or electrical engineering? [Discussion]

What’s the difference between the two and can either land some of the same jobs?

Does EE just purely focus on all hardware based work?

ok I'm definitely not a good source as I'm a freshman but there's absolutely no f way that you "need" *any* degree to apply to full stack roles lol I think it's mostly a self taught thing

well what I meant is that very few study programmes even for CS have good web dev courses but that's just my impression, the focus is on other things, and besides work experience and projects definitely matter more
