<p>I hate you guys and this thread is dead to me. ■■■.</p>
<p>That being said, I acknowledge that the “gay little taxonomy” is pretty artificial, but then again, fanboyism or no, a healthy 25% of the math / mathy-CS majors are snickering about the other engineers at any given time at any given school. Don’t believe me, get a mole or something.</p>
<p>The whole source of this was my pointing out that CS was more abstract (math, logic) compare to other engineering (physics, chemistry, application of applied math). At my school and at most schools I have looked at which distinguish between CS, CE, and EE, there is a spectrum from most abstract mathematically and logically to most concrete physically. That’s all I meant to say originally, and I never meant to imply that one was easier or harder than the other. When people ask for differences between CS and EE, you’ve got to make some generalizations or else you end up saying cute but useless things like “both can study exactly the same things”, “math is used in both”, etc. True, but not very helpful.</p>
<p>Peace out. Isn’t it time to talk about ice cream or something?</p>
