Ha! Maybe I just wasn't exposed to as many of the higher-level courses in CS and the research the professors were doing. I know a couple guys that got their CompE bachelors and a CS masters, both from BYU. They are doing quite well for themselves now. They did research with CS professors that was interesting and relevant. I also worked in a research lab, in the EE dept., as an undergrad and that was a good experience. BYU in general is good about that. It sounds like EE and CS are collaborating on more classes now than when I was there, which is good. There is a lot of overlap, and at other Universities EE-CS is a combined department. Not sure why they aren't combined at BYU. > Looking at the CE map, there are a few CS courses that aren't required that > I'd definitely recommend you take if you're interested in software > development (252, 312, 330, 428).

There were some CS classes I was really glad I took, and the one I really regret not taking was compilers (but the professor teaching it was...one I didn't click with). There is a lot of CS material available online and in books and if you know how to learn and have a solid foundation to build on, you can pick it up. There is no way you will get everything you need to know from just your coursework anyway.
