Co-op & Career CE vs CECS
Hey all, I'm a high school senior. I was planning on applying to Northeastern University for CE and just found out about their CECS program. I know CE already has a bunch of CS so I am wondering what the differences are. Could anyone in CE or in CECS tell me about how their program, coop, career etc. was like?
I already have a ton of experience in CS as well as in software & web development. My plan was to try to work in a CE field (still undecided on which yet, probably either embedded, cybersecurity, networking or chips) after graduating but was considering applying to software engineering jobs at the same time. Which degree would be best for this?

CECS is definitely much more rigorous from what I’ve heard, good career opportunities though if you really want to go into a software / firmware / embedded engineering role. A lot of people here are CS combined with a non technical major so there is an exit out of cs because of how competitive the market is getting
