I’m a high school junior interested in a career designing/creating electronics as a career when I’m out school; cell phones, TV’s, video games - pretty much anything tech. I was just wondering if this would be considered electronic or computer engineering; I’ve gotten many mixed answers in the past; with the argument being electronic engineering would focus more on electrical engineering, and that computer engineering would focus more on software/programming. Right now I’m just looking for any more serious (profession is also a big bonus) opinions that may help define what I’m looking for in a major.

I was also wondering what some good colleges are for said major. I know some like MIT, UC Berkeley, and Stanford are about top 3 or so, but I’m also looking for some good colleges less-known schools as well.
P.S> By video games, I didn’t mean the games themselves, but rather the video game systems.
