Jim,
RIT is also a 5 year co-op school
My daughter was originally EE/Robotics, but went otherwise. She loves math. She
once said to me “Smith Charts are for those who can’t do math”. She does FPGA
work now
My son wasn’t sure if he wanted to do hardware or software. The Computer
Engineering major splits it. A bit less power and RF etc, but more programming.
He’s doing embedded code. His co-op was writing code that may be running the
power train of your car. Where he is now does high speed data data work
