My experiences working with others are that often those with an EE degree or anything math or non-CS related are the worst programmers, unless they have a passion for programming, that is. Math majors being the absolute worst, at least in general. There was one guy I knew who was a math genius, and he was one of the best programmers I knew, but he was most definitely the exception and not the rule. I would recommend that if someone wants to get into low level programming, read the Intel and AMD optimization manuals both and learn to read binary at a glance.
