I'm currently in a Computer Science Masters, but it seems like I can get those credits transferred over to their computer engineering program. I seem to enjoy the hardware side of things more and would like to move into the embedded/robotics/avionics eventually (although jobs are more limited than CS in my area).

Just trying to work out if I switch. I currently have a Mechanical Engineering Bachelors, but work in web development. The two main options I see are:

1: Continue with the CS option. Can finish quicker, cheaper and probably with better grades as it is easier. I would also have more time for side projects (currently doing a few) and then just do the additional embedded, controls and power courses after but not as part of the degree.

2: Switch to the computer engineering option. More in line with where I want to go, but more expensive and longer to finish.

Done 9 for-credit courses in the MS-CS program, but I'm starting to think about switching to the ECE degree as I prefer the lower level and more hardware side of things. Seems like I can get those credits transferred over from asking the course staff, but just wondering if anyone has experience in the ECE program.

On the other hand I feel like I can finish the CS quicker with better grades and then just do the extra embedded/power courses on the side after. I also feel like I would have a bit more time to do side projects with the CS degree.

Currently a webdev with a Mechanical Engineering Bachelors, but would like to move towards the embedded/robotics/avionics side of things.
