Hey @Edson, what do you recommend a current student to do? I am in comp systems spec and I really like it, but I also think the market will be biased towards AI in near future. What do you recommend?
Those are really good courses; Specially GIOS. I did computing system for my specialization because it seems more related to what I was doing day to day at work. Back then AI and machine learning was still limited. I feel now that so many people are talking about it, taking a few machine learning courses as elective would be advantageous. At least, you will have some context in conversation and have an idea of how they work. I don't think that would be enough to be are real AI or Machine learning scientist, but I feel taking a few elective might be enough to get an entry level machine learning job. I am just speculating because no one knows the future but part of me feel that sooner or later, knowing machine learning might open new doors.
@@edsonphilippe58 My job also aligns with the systems spec and I love the courses listed there. However, your advice now is to leave room for 2-3 ML courses as electives?
@@Mmustafa-v4j Same here. I already graduated, but would be taking some ML courses as non degree seeking student. I honestly only care about learning then the degree itself. As far a getting a job as a ML engineer with only 3 courses, I don't know yet if that would happen, but the worse case scenario would be for me to be able to evaluate ML technology and deploy them. Not sure I want to build those tech myself

I am in my second course (HCI, GIOS)
