Thank you man. As an Electrical and Computer Engineering student, this really motivated me to keep going even though classes are really tough.
When u say eletrical and computer engineering, it is just One major right? It Basically combines both?
@@lisandro1076 yeah since they are really close to each other they combined to one degree.
@@sirak1277 what do you find tough in electrical engineering.
@@scythemachine1894 math and physics.
@@scythemachine1894 math.
Get to electrical engineering everyone before everyone catches on. Once you’ve graduated and it’s become a popular field you’ll be a standout with expierence
Congratulations on your degree! I have been an electrical/RF engineer for more than 35 years and it's has been an incredibly exciting ride. Best wishes for your career. Go to Johns Hopkins in the evening to get your masters. I did that when I lived in Maryland and it really enhances your career, especially in Radio Engineering.
What is your advice for youngsters who are graduating with an electrical degree? The market is so unpredictable nowadays.
What's your job like in RF? Do you mostly sit in front of a screen? Did you feel fulfilled?
@@scythemachine1894 RF engineering is going through changes, but new technology is going to make opportunities explode. Try to get assignments that are technically challenging. When starting out, you need to treat your job like college where you studied for free. You only learn the basics in college. You will do best if you study in your free time to understand everything you can about the technology on which you are working and how to do your job. It gets easier over time. Getting a masters degree will open doors for you.
@@manomag-v11 I couldn't have picked a better career. I run a lot of simulations, but also build and test a lot of hardware, so it's about 50% screen time, at most. I've developed scientific instruments for NASA and operated them on-orbit, cell phones, imaging radar, medical implants and invented a new RF technology which I believe will greatly benefit humanity.
Thank you, would definitely love to hear your journey
I appreciate the insight. This week I'm starting an electronic engineering technology associates, and I want to get a BS in electrical engineering later.
During your journey, try to get acclimated with Xpedition Designer, altium, Matlab, and python. Add CST studio for students for RF jobs. This is the way to separate yourself from new grads, having experience with actual corporate software.
I did something very similar, i did an associate in electrical and renewable energy technology, got my licenses, and am now studying electrical engineering with a concentration in power systems. Hope you do well
I also come from west african heritage and have been debating computer engineering vs electrical engineering. Hearing the story of another person from a similar background is inspiring. It’s sounding like electrical engineering is the way to go!
Computer Engineering is also a really good choice. The only problem is there a so many recruiters that will just group you in with computer science because it starts with “computer” and not actually see that your skills are so much different. I personally love computer engineering. (Fourth year Computer Engineer)
Computer Engineering is the same as Electrical Engineering
i feel like computer is the better way to go because it encompasses both hardware and software. there is also the major ECE (Electrical and computer engineering) which is not offered everywhere, but definitely one of the best values.
Electrical and communication engineering*@@rizzlo
Same im going into second year of electronics engineering
basically an embedded engineer
Hi , thanks for sharing your insight into the Electrical engineering field. Will be graduating from my electrical Engineering degree this month in Africa.
Congratulations!!
This has been really inspiring. I'm African too-specifically from Nigeria. I moved to the U.S. when I was almost 11, and now I'm attending a community college in Ohio, planning to transfer to a four-year university later. To be honest, I'm a bit confused about what I want to do as a career, but my parents have encouraged me to pursue engineering becaus of the likelihood of getting employed quickly and securing a green card
Great insights! Appreciate it. Greetings from a engineering student from Germany.
Yo thanks Jodabeni for sharing your experience as becoming an engineer! I recently graduated this May from SJ state as an EE and did the dumb mistake of taking a break after graduation 😅. I’m living in the SF Bay Area so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find something entry level. Can you make a video about your experience curating your resume and possibly the interview process or preparation for landing the first job?
Greatly appreciate the content you put out and it’s been helping me out a lot these last few weeks.
Yes , I can do that.
I graduated with a B.S in industrial engineering, and Electrical engineering folks have way more opportunities because EE can do what IE can do, but not the other way around
Thanks for the video, Just finished diff eq, starting sophomore year finally getting into the meat of it and I'm a little worried about how well I can do but I'm going to try my best bro.
Yeah bro I’m in San Antonio and am currently first year in electrical engineering. It’s nice to see someone close talking about electrical engineering thank you and good luck !
Thanks Carlos
So true hard tech physical systems are the way to go. I’m a computer scientist graduate but now I’m working as an electrician to get licensed since that work can’t be outsourced. I’m excited to tie the two together once I’m finished the apprenticeship.
That is awesome!
Im glad youtube recommended this channel to me. Im going into second year of electronics engineering
That’s awesome, good luck!
The reason I’m switching from computer science to EE is because I’ve seen a guy land a software engineer job with a degree in EE. And I can always get my masters in Comp Science. It’s just two extra years 🤷🏾♂️ that’s so quick
Exactly what I’m doing
Great video, I am now in Computer engineering and it is always cool to see fellow engineer's experience, thank you very much ! Good luck for you career !
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
super gald This popped up on my recommendation. I'm currently living in New Zealand and currently in my last year in Electrical Engineering.
Congratulations man!
I’m in sophomore year EE, thank you for the video, it gave me hope because job security is one of my biggest concerns.
Oh yea, youll probably have a job lined up before graduation.
I’m almost done with my bachelors in electrical engineering
That’s dope how has it been so far? How many years you been in it? I just started community college and plan to transfer in 2 years to university.
You got it man!
@@OneMic3 it’s been a struggle for me, I work full time and I have kids. The math is the worse part. My advice would be pick your own learning path like for robotics or something you like
AMAZING POINTS IN THE VID!! GOD BLESS
The corporate life is designed for you to live not to win
I'm studying EE rn and looking into RF hardware/front end, systems, communication systems engineering, antenna engineering. My main gripe is whether i would be okay with working for the defense industry, especially for warfare applications. but the availability of jobs / demand for RF engineers and relatively competitive pay is appealing. but geographic relocation / restriction to urban/higher COL areas is another gripe.... but i'd rather study and pursue a career in something im interested in, passionate about rather than something boring
What are your thoughts on computer engineering
There will come a time in the near future where technology will be so far advanced that robots will be able to do your jobs. Japan is already leaps ahead of the world but the world with eventually catchup.
Currently a junior at utrgv and watching this video just made me realize that this is the path im definitely looking forward too in electrical engineering
How was ur 1st year ? I’m nervous asf because I might be off on my math but I will study to be better 🙏
Tell Benghalia I said hello !
Good video, thanks!
fax, i chose comp sci but the more i learn abt EE the more i like it. ima also join the military but might have to change majors after i get back lol
Military guard or reserves is not a bad deal
Im active. Go guard or reserves. Get an army intel job for the top secret clearance. And apply for gov jobs
@@IffyEdem i was interested in active duty to catch a break from the college life for a few years & to get some work experience as a 21 yr old. any reason u think reserves > AD?
@@IffyEdem like national guard? and reserves of what specifically? thanks
Can you make a resume video
Congrats bro.
Best wishes.
Thank you! Same to you
Can I target kind of same career opportunities with a degree in electronics and computer science? It is the degree available to me.
Engineering is for smart people, such as yourself. .......................If someonen is not smart OR, doesn't have a deep enjoyment of the material, don't do it, they will waste money or be in debt for a degree they didn't complete.
I also see the same thing about job problems, as a Student of EE outside the US, how often do you see Foreign talents getting opportunities in EE in the US abd what paths do you see as a way to get harness the plethora of opportunities in the US. Ty
i’m in my first semester taking pre reqs. how would you recommend I get ready for the journey ahead of me if I want to be an electrical engineer
Well done 👍🏾
Do you encourage me to equivalent my electrical engineering technology certification from a technical college that is not ABET and stopped giving a bachelor degree a few years ago?
If yes, do you think I'll get a decent job if I choose The University of Houston major in Electrical Power Engineering Technology?
Just look at places you would like to work and check out requirements
Its all well and good, but software wins in remote jobs. Also you can easily make a software product/startup and not work for the man.
Pros and Cons on both sides!
Easily make a product/startup ? That isn’t true 90% of start ups fail .
Is it worth starting school for the first time at 25? I feel behind and don’t know how to finance it and if it is worth it or even possible to study ee. The debt, housing, food. All of that. I thought about community college for associates. I work full time right now. I just don’t know if it is worth quitting and committing, maybe take 2 courses for a few semesters and decide? It is a 50min 50 mile drive one way. Idk if it is worth the commute, the time, miles, money. Then I would have to move to another town for the final 2 years and pay for housing there too.
Go to work for an amazon warehouse if you can. They’ll accommodate you for school and pay for school. I’m 24. I started school when I was 23. Just do it now because when you’re 30 you’re gonna be like “dangggg man I should’ve went to school 5 years ago”. Just get it done so you can set up your life. You’re at a perfect age, you may be even smarter compared to your younger self. Go and give it your all. 💙
Also do internships. They’ll pay you a vast amount of money. You don’t need to come from some prestige school, just get the degree.
Check the video I did today , if money is the biggest issue!
That's what I did. I'm 27 now and almost done with my engineering associates at community college. Luckily my parents are helping but I would still do it if they weren't because it will be worth it in the end. I started with 1 class and worked my way up adding another one each semester. I almost failed highschool because I never developed study habits so my main focus was to learn discipline and build momentum and self confidence.
Man this whole market is messed up, time to capitalize on motivational videos for Computer Science and engineering students haha tik tok here I come
As long as you’re helping others!
What about civil ?
make the resume video bro
im a electrical engineer too in a shithole 3rdworld country. ive been job hopping for 20 years. been in engineering construction management 10 years and building facilities management 10 years. i used to decide to either computer science or this but fortunately i pick electrical. i love software as a kid i find it fancy and in the movies those hackers . but fortunately i didnt go for the hype. not bragging about but ive had double my salary offers 3 x laat year but didnt go for it. i like my job now because its too convinient for me. but im really getting board again and i dont know if i could still last for another year. i was already able to fix all the buildings major problems in 5 years and i feel really board now lol. i might job hop once again for those wfh setup job just to experience what that feels like
Sounds like you’re locked in
@@Jodabeni i dont know. i dont feel i really achieved someting despite a good resume. maybe i dont really like a management job but. management job is the one with higher pay here
Some good advice but also some blabbering. Geo hotz didnt graduate and learned it all. Go after what you want to do that also is in demand if you want to make money, otherwise be ready to work hard and keep on learning. Electrical engineers also have low points when they aren’t needed. Remember hardware is only so good and software is still as valuable.
Geohotz is a genius and most of you are average smelly joes
Can you make a resume video please? 🙏🏼
I gotchu
Is 25 too late to get an EE degree ?
If you live to be 80 , four years of school will be nothing but a glimpse of your past
@@Jodabeni agree, thanks a lot
How the military go?
Working on the video :)
Mechanical >>>
👀
too hard
I graduated from Electrical Engineering earlier this year and EE's were pretty much the only cohort who had jobs lined up right after finishing. The only people who didn't start working right out the door were people who wanted to do a PhD for more specialized chip design kind of jobs. I almost gave up the degree because the math was kicking my ass, but I'm so glad I stuck with it.
Same here 😂 Math was no joke
I nearly quit in 300l
Every single analysis and model was all maths
It's really challenging
I'm in my 400l
bro 85k first year is amazing. I am a shitty ass teacher and didn't touch that probably until like 5th year
That’s still pretty good actually.
I don’t mean to be rude, but comparing the lesser salary never does any good for the employee. $85K first year is good and average adjusted for inflation compared to salaries previously they can also change based on location.
Most engineering students should expect $60K-$90K in their first year with some salaries as high like as $110K (prodigies, elite schools, hot fields, HCOL) and as low as $50K (easy job, LCOL, state college).
Electromagnetism is the most eye opening course I have ever taken. Electrical Engineers get to learn some cool concepts, too bad I'm just a CS student hahah.
you still can self-learn physics and other science discoveries. In fact, never stop learning
if you have interest for electromagnetism then go for it, learn. you dont have to be EE. thats the good part of learning. no limits.
@@Deniz06-n6mhahah if I had the time I would, but I got too many other things I wanna do. E&M is a big time commitment, the math involved is non trivial and I don’t got extra time right now to learn vector calc and then higher level E&M. Someday perhaps.
If you really like something you make time for it
@@peterekela6407 well maybe college not the best time for it. Cuz hes busy with computer science at the moment.
I switched from computer science to electrical engineering and was wondering if I was making the right decision, but this video really reinforces that I did. Thank you for the insight!
where are you from ?
electrical is more fulfilling because it's more physical
@@dieglhix eh that's subjective.
@@dieglhix true .
@@EndietheEnderman I work in IT not programming but I had never seen a programmer actually caring about the product they work on, but I did work in an electrical company and engineers were so happy with the work they were doing.
I’m at utrgv right now, doing my undergraduate in computer engineering with a focus in software and my graduate program in electrical engineering. I want to become an integrated systems or hardware engineer, am I taking the right education path for the career or should I focus my undergraduate on more electrical and study programming languages on the side?
Lead with your interest. Undergraduate isn't easy, it helps to lead with what you like first. While including courses that will help you continue growing in the secondary field you're interested in.
If it was me, Electrical Engineering math courses go all the way up to differential equations. I would rather complete those in my undergraduate, you have room for C's. Masters you don't...That being said, you can always keep what you have but include your Circuits classes, and the top ELEE courses that directly relate to what you want to do...
Nice vid, I am starting robotic engineering in October. Can't wait to start :))
You’ll definitely have fun!
Thank you for sharing your advise to the young people who want to become engineers.Keep up the good work❤❤
My pleasure!
I have always had doubts about my future.
I changed from mechanical engineering to electrical power engineering. Now I have to complete my bachelor's degree (cause I'm at the end of it) but I intend to do a master's in electronic engineering.
I will definitely have to recover exams about tlc, programming, signals, digital electronics as single courses from other degrees in my uni before starting the master and I will have to move because there is no electronic engineering in my city. But now i finally feel that this is my future.
I will finish my academic path a little bit later but at least I will do what I like.
Electronics applications are so wide, from electrical vehicles, power electronics to embedded systems, and as an electrical engineer you can also learn lots of computer science and programming, getting a general vision of everything you like (or at least for me 😂).
Im about to graduate Mechanical Engineering this December 2024, but Im making plans on getting my MD in electrical engineering in a few years to work in signal analysis. I fell in love with electro mechanical control systems when I took the course in my Junior year. Too bad I didnt realize it was Electrical engineering I was interested in
Im rooting for you !
can you explain electromechanical control systems? im looking at whether to settle on aerospace, electrical, or mechanical engineering.
Congratulations wish i were you rn life sucks
All facts. Electrical Engineering on top
Electric Engineering is terrible in most places! Unless you like working in cubicles and dealing with toxic politics. The meetings are so boring and soul-draining. Then you work long hours so forget about that work-life balance.
What do you mean?
What do you think about mechatronics engineering? I got accepted in mechatronics this year and i want to know your opinion about it 😅
Man oh man, id go computer engineering/electrical if i could but my cs degree path would be muuch faster and unfortunately i cant really do an electrical drgree online. But I plan to get a masters in computer engineer and I have been self teaching myself electronics and physics daily.
I agree man, the path of EE is dope, i didnt even know it was a thing till i got further in my cs degree and im 32 lol! Sometimes ya just dont know but its all good, i really like hardware so for me to combine coding with something physical is definitely interesting to me.
Good video man. Was nice to hear another person's perspective on EE
That being said, electrical engineering is a good place to start. Many niches are accessible to afterwards
Bro i have two year gap after bachelors in electrical engineering and i have no experience does it affect finding a job
I’m an industrial apprentice currently working in the O&G , EE seems like the coolest degree of all engineering imo so far lol
You would enjoy it
What about bachelor of technology electrical engineering
I'm a EE who is interest in DSP digital signal processing and machine learning application integration. And I encountered a CS kid who said isn't EE just circuits and welding😭 How can I educate him?
Don’t bother
I'm interested in having food and bills paid. I slacked in college and didn't finish... Plumbing pays well but man I wish I was an engineer
so your saying with my ee degree it good i have a clearance
It can definitely help! Companies don’t have to pay the extra money to get you a clearance over those that don’t have it
Great vid! Made me subscribe instantly 👍 I'm on my way to declaring an EE major, just gotta get the prereqs out of the way first. What are your thoughts on specializing in the degree? For instance, EE degree with Communications specialization. Do you think that's better than studying a more general, comprehensive EE degree? Would love to know your thoughts.
Keep the videos coming 👌
I’m an electrician. When i was in school we would also look over what the electrical engineer does. I became interested I really wanted to do it I’m already in electrical school. I looked at the EE curriculum. Calculus 1 calculus 2 calculus 3. Differential equations equations linear algebra. I failed pre calculus in high school. So I just decided not to do it. Might as well say you’re a math major
Thanks bro! This really motivated me! I’m a sophomore at a UNC Charlotte pursuing my EE degree and differential equations is kicking me in the brain 🧠. But I’m not giving up !
Hi, I’m studying EE and my partner is an embedded engineer with CE degree. He is currently working as an embedded and feels as though the environment is very senior and not as motivating as the big ones. He wants to switch and do devOps, because he feels they somewhat underpay the hardware guys? That’s his experience too as an African developer in his 20s. I studied EE at a PWI, and while it is definitely chewing steel doing this major, I wonder about the RF engineering field, and whether it’s mostly senior experienced veterans as well? What other pathways would you recommend that aren’t too hardware? I’ve had exposure to the construction industry in particular and with Lockheed.
Show us ur soccer skills
This was a really good video, I’m currently an AE engineer and I absolutely love what I’m learning so far in my freshmen year but at the end of the day my goals to make as much money as possible and I am in doubt as to whether I wanna keep going in my field or in a year switch to mechanical or electrical.
Hi Jodabeni this video was really informative, I am currently a senior for a bachelors in EE. I was wondering how you were able to properly learn and retain information related to circuit design and basic EE formulas. I was also wondering if you had advise on how to make connections with recruiters to find a job. Thank you!
Guys should i take ee on a cllg with no good tecahers and equipment facilities.
Thanks for sharing . This I’d love a day in the life . I’m confused what you do day to day .
Nice to hear someone on RUclips graduate from UTRGV 🎉
This video is 4 years late, I am fresh graduated Computer Engineer working in Deep Learning / ML department
Thats awesome, currently working on my masters in AI
thnx sirrrrrr
My pleasure
We know which video inspired you to drive around and make a video on engineering 👀
Ayeee hahah ! Sharp mans
Yes, please talk about the resume.
I do love physics and learning about electromagnetism, but I don't think I like digital logic at all. I am between CS/IT and EE mostly. CS teaches algorithms, data structures, computer architecture... all of that isn't that interesting to me to be honest as things like electromagnetism and current, voltage, capacitance. I will likely go for EE out of interest as such.
Good luck 👍!
What audi is that?
What I have to learn in electrical engineering can you give us a list of specific course Thanx
@Ddddaah it’s basically a lot of calculus,1,2,3,4
Differential of equations
Linear Algebra
Physics:Electricity and Magnetism
Mechanics
Thermodynamics
You also have to take some programming classes ( Java, Python)
Engineering classes: Electrical circuits, some designing classes depending on your school this is most of what you have to learn during your first 3 years I will say
After that usually is when you’re going for your bachelor degree where you have to learn classes where it’s a mixture of physics classes (electrical circuit 2 for example), electronics and computer science.
If you manage to be good with Physics and Math in general you will be good because everything else builds up on that
Hi , i am a transfer student from UTRGV and am currently in San Antonio at UTSA studying Electrical engineering . Wha defense company in the SA area do you work in? Also any recommendation on where to get an internship in the city before i graduate ? Im trying to get some experience
I know for SATX they are more cybersecurity heavy. There are some aerospace companies that take ELEE
Hi, awesome video! Is there a big difference between electrical engineering technology vs electrical engineering? Does EET also share the advantages as EE? Thank you!
Compare the course lists!
Should I double major in CSE + ECE? I'm currently on track to graduate within 2.5 years or 3 years and I think EE is also a good choice.
If you have the time why not?
No thanks, not going to torture myself.
😂 fair enough
Is the job market also good if you don't want to work for miilitary at all
For electrical engineers … better than most
wich one do you think i better betwen defence and big tech
I believe it's advantageous to choose a company that will help you grow technically the most initially. The skills you learn can be valuable assets in your future career. But working in Big Tech helps your resume and paycheck a lot.
I was just thinking about what major to go into lol. Thanks
Good luck man!
Where in texas you from bro ?
Htown
Congrats for your degree !!
Thank you!
Abibas.
Your welcomed.
