So, I live in a shitty 3rd world country so I don't have many options, in the local public uni they have this "Computer Engineering" career, now, I want to know if it really can be classified as such, or if this is closer to Computer Science (in which I'm not interested), mostly in the first 6 semesters.
Pic related its roughly translated from spanish.
I like low level stuff, not developing apps and general software management for commercial software and all that boring crap CS majors do.
In the same uni I can do EE or Electronical Engineering at a technical school, from the outside both look quite interesting choices, nevertheless I would like to do CE, but only if its really that I'm getting into.
I can't afford private so don't bother (and private its shit here anyway, its even lower level, but easier for the lazy richfags).

OP here, worth mentioning there is not a CS career here (at least not in public uni), that's why it raises doubt for me, this "CE" its all there is.

Not computer engineering, no circuits, waves & fundamentals of modern physics, no digital signal processing, no random signal variables, not even one lab? those are cores that are missing, definitely not Computer Engineering, maybe computer engineering technologies or software engineering.
That looks a lot like software engineering, which is a type of engineering.
Do EE op. You can still get into low level programming with it.
>Programming 5 (Java)
big keks

No linear systems, no complex variables, no ede, pde and transforms, even on the CS side, no algorithms, no computational models, computability and complexity.

>No Vector Calculus
>No ODEs
>No Electronic nor Circuits
>No Fourier Transforms
>No DSP
>No Intro Physics 2 (E&M)
>needing a class in C after C++
>needing a class in OO after C++
>a class in java
>a class in DBs
>5 classes on different languages
Holy shit on a stick batman. That's a shitty CS degree, not CE.

Pretty much any CE/CS degree has a class on databases. There's more to it than learning basic SQL commands.

I'm a Software Engineer (in Russia) and even I had more to do with hardware than this course.

What in the flying fuck

OP here, made a mistake: You know, until last year, Programming II was Modula2, then they decided it was outdated and too dificult, and changed it for C (not C++), its basically dynamic memory structures, abstract data types, among other stuff.
Then Programming III its also C but more advanced stuff (greedy, sorting, backtracking, hash, multistructures,graphs).
So you see OO with Java later.
I don't know shit about this, i just checked the courses and its contents.

Did you write this yourself?

>computer analist
seems like a solid position op, go for it
>>8002192
Yes, and don't forget "Proyect", translating its annoying.
I did the Software Engineering Thesis option because of the nature of my project. Despite being everyone on my team being in Computer Engineering our team won first place against strictly Software guys.
I'm not saying I'm a better programmer because of me being in computer engineering, I do think Software guys might be better out of the gate, but limiting myself to software always seemed so bleak.

Oh over wrote the part where I said "That is 100% not computer engineering, look at this computer engineering matrix."
It could be different in your country but in Canada it has to meet strict accreditation standards.
>>8002195
at least the title of degree is honest
