i know this thread is a month or so old however i thought i would give some input from my experience.
The above post is correct, I'm currently a Jr. Computer And Systems Engineering (CSE) at R.P.I. in NY.
the basic coursework is a basic knowledge in programming and more so focused on the electrical side of things such as Electric Circuits, Intro To Electronics, and digital design classes like Computer Components and Operations.
You do, as a CSE however, have to take Comp Sci I, Data Structures, and Algorithms or have equivalent transfer credit.
You do however get to choose a concentration such as hardware, networking, software etc...
computer science, at least at my school involves much more programming, with classes like Operating Systems, Programming Languages, Computer Organization, & Models of Computation.
I know that of the 56 or so kids in my major and year i would say 20-30% of them are dual majors with CSE and computer science.
Hey i really want to actually want to go to that program could you explain to me the process that you take since i don't really understand how RPI works.
