• As a computer science and engineering major at UC Davis, students will receive a solid background in engineering fundamentals that will allow them to adapt to newly introduced systems and methods; they’ll also have the chance to work with well-respected researchers on projects that represent the cutting edge of computer science today.
  • Computer science and engineering graduates are prepared to do further work in hardware, software, theory or electronics, either in industry or post-graduate study.
  • An important advantage of CSE is that the student sees the entire machine, from top to bottom, an insight that is highly beneficial in developing software for today's high-performance applications. On the other hand, CS is attractive in that it facilitates supplementary study in another field, say as a minor or even as a double major. Graduates of the two curricula tend to go into the same kinds of jobs, or focus on the same research fields if they attend graduate school. In either case, success stems overwhelmingly from the depth of insight gained in school, rather than the specific major.
