I am planning on majoring in one of these in college and I just want to know exactly what the difference is in them. Give some info on like Which one I could go into to be a game developer too. Thanx :)

Answer
Its basically like this ...and I'll throw in EE to boot:

Computer Science:Software(higher level) and computing theory
Computer Engineering:Software(mostly lower level but generous amount of higher level as well) and hardware(digital) and the integration of the two
Electrical Engineering:Hardware(digital, analog, power)

CS is best to become a game developer but CE probably fine as well

Are Electrical Engineering and Electronics Engineering two separate majors?

I am currently going to school to study Engineering. I want to become an Electrical Engineer, but recently, I've heard about Electronics Engineering. I did telecommunications in the US military and dealt with small circuits and RF communications equipment. This all falls under Electronics Engineering.

I've been trying to find more info on Electronics Engineering, but can't seem to find if it is a separate degree program from Electrical Engineering.

My school only lists:
Electrical Engineering & Computer Science
Electrical Engineering & Computer Sci - Materials Sci & Engineering
Electrical Engineering & Computer Sci - Nuclear Engineering

How would I go about becoming an "Electronics Engineer"?

Answer
Yes, those majors ARE separate !!!!! Electrical deals with applications of electricity does the actual work (like a drill or skil-saw). Electronic deals with applications of electricity activating other parts to do the work (like a stereo or TV). The subjects are related, but the majors are different. You
will need to contact different schools until you find one that offers electronic engineering!! (I currently
....no pun intended.....don't know which schools to reccomend.
