Hi everyone,

I'm currently enrolled in the CS/BBA double degree at Waterloo. I've been thinking of switching into either CS Digital Hardware option or go into Computer Engineering as I have discovered that business is not my interest. I originally picked double degree to try out the business portion of CS and since it has a great reputation and endless job opportunities. However after my first year and coop, I have discovered how little interest I actually have in business.

I wanted to go more into the hardware side of CS as that has sparked my interest. I've talked to a CS adviser and she said my grades are sufficient to transfer into Digital Hardware option. I would still be starting second year and have minor catching up to do. Or should I fully go CE but restart at first year. :(

Anyone have any experience in either of these programs. Any advice?

Nothing wrong with restarting first year if you know where your interests lie. CE has a very heavy workload though, esp. 2A, 40 hour schedule due to your 6 labs.
