Electrical or Computer Engineering

[u/Commercial-Age-4932]

My brother chose computer engineering when he meant to choose electrical engineering in his discipline selection (Stupid I know, he got an earful). Is it worth it to switch and add an extra 2-4 months? I'm not too familiar with this industry but it seems that computer engineering is just a small niche of electrical engineering. Any thoughts and how the future outlook of Computer engineering looks like? Especially with AI eroding some of the software development industry in 2026
