"I chose computer engineering at Penn because almost all of the classes sounded interesting to me. I knew I wanted to be an "electrically oriented" engineer, but it wasn't until I got to Penn and explored computer engineering's curriculum that I realized the major was the direction I wanted to take."

"I chose computer engineering specifically because, as a freshman, when I looked at the upper-level classes on the curriculum planning guides for each major, the descriptions seemed the most interesting. The combination between electrical engineering and computer science topics as well as the large number of hands-on, project-based classes appealed to me as well."

"Computer engineering is fun, and I love the flexibility in the major. There isn't another major where I'd have the breadth of skill to work as a webstack/mobile lead in one PennApps (Skynet Command, S'13 Top 20 overall) and then as an electrical lead a year later at another PennApps (Chirp, S'14 Top Hardware Hack)."
