<p>No, not at all. SCS has nothing to do with EE. Of course, you can take EE classes as electives that will count towards an SCS degree. It works both ways; you can take CS classes as an ECE major and get a strong foundation in CS.</p>

<p>Agreed with cmonyuk- unless you want to take EE classes, CS will give you no foundation in EE. However, you’re welcome to take EE classes for the science/engineering requirement (up to 3/4 would count for that, as you would need a lab and there are no EE classes that count as labs), have your minor be ‘engineering studies’ (6 or 7 classes, all but 1 of which can be EE), take a second major in EE, and take whatever EE classes you’d like to that will fit in your schedule.</p>

<p>I’ve always thought of CS as software and EE as hardware. CE is the combination of both.</p>
