@PurpleTitan I think there is a big difference between that type of experience/coursework for an EE that works on the software side of embedded real-time systems and CS major only focused on high level programming (like web development).
The UCB website even describes the distinction between the CS and EECS programs :
"Note that there are two different major programs in CS at Berkeley. One major leads to the Bachelor of Arts and the other, the CSE option within the EECS major, leads to the Bachelor of Science.
"This CS major is for students enrolled in the College of Letters & Science (L&S). There is no difference in the CS course content between the B.S. and B.A. programs. The difference is in what else you take: mainly engineering, or mainly humanities and social sciences. In particular, an interest in hardware suggests the EECS route; an interest in double majoring (for example, in math or cognitive science) suggests the L&S route."
Why is the distinction hilarious?
