Thread: What do you think of this syllabus ?

I was just reconsidering my hard vs. applied science thing -- again, conjectural, but dollars to donuts there are a lot of large engineering (electronic, civil, aerospace, mechanical) firms that employ a lot of in house programmers. And a lot of smaller firms that might appreciate it.

From what I remember of university, it is not that big a deal to switch majors in the first few years, esp. if you focus your electives on your "alternate" choice. Ie, by choosing CS and doing low level engineering courses as electives, or choosing engineering and doing low level CS as electives, you'll be free to switch after a few semesters without having to make up more than a few courses. Ask about the possibilities there when you are considering schools.
