I would actually disagree
What if your major work is a microcontroller based which consists 70% coding

Generally your skill set as an EE might be transferable to some certain CS roles, or possibly Software Eng or Comp Eng instead.

However if you want a purely CS job which requires a certain field in honours, you would want to do a CS honours instead. In this case you have to question if you would rather a role within CS or EE.

No CS and EE are indeed completely different fields.

If you are using a microcontroller as an EE, you will be interfacing with other systems. CS is not all about coding either.

I think it all just comes down to experience the end

are you majoring in power.. i
Not necessarily called "majors". They are just electives. At the end of the day, you graduate as an EE. Your thesis will help in obtaining a role in a specific industry (and your thesis is usually related to your electives) however you can still get jobs in many parts of EE.

In terms of electives, I'm not too sure at the moment but I could go with the Power stream. I'll probably make a final decision on this in a year's time.
