I'm a sophomore in CompE. In my opinion, I enjoy learning all the hardware in a class setting because I can learn software on my own with just a laptop. Same can't be said for big FPGA boards and what not. That said, once I hit my higher technical electives I'll probably lean more into software just to be better rounded. I want to work on control systems, I think robotics would be really neat.
I always thought that a computer engineering degree was the strongest since you know the best of both worlds. The best way to use the degree is to find a job where the two sides interface. This is mostly seen in embedded systems, which I do. Awesome content please post more!!!
CmpE is a great degree, it dependent on the curriculum. Most university of Technology in my country offer an extensive knowledge of EE n SE which means students who studied CE excel in SE or EE. In my country CE is a combination of Computer Science n Electronic Engineering.
Microcontroller, embedded, firmware, chips design jobs itself presents a huge chunk of job opportunities. And CompE would most certainly beat out SE or EE for jobs in these fields
Yep, a lot of jobs here! I would generally agree with second statement but it very heavily relies on curriculum, which varies depending on country and university. Thanks for the comment!
Totally on point about the need for extra-curriculars! I personally think its a great advantage, having the option to branch in software or the electrical side later on in the career, cuz sometimes you need options in life as your mind evolves with the passage of time. Great content!
I work on embedded systems as a Computer Engineering major, at my company many people like sticking to only hardware or only software making my skills and interests needed.
The claim that CompE only learns the intersection of cs and ee is not true. Assuming cs and ee have 0% overlapping, CompE would take 50% cs and 50% ee. However, cs and ee do have overlapping. CompE can take more than 50% cs and more than 50% ee. Plus CompE may have multiple concentrations that lead to software or hardware focus. Don’t forget that ee is not 100% computer related, CompE is.
For computer science, you can’t rely on your college degree to get a job in this job market so it does not matter much either way . For electrical it depends which part you wanna focus on a Comp Eng will usually have more experience in FPGA/HDLs on average. Fields like HDLs/Embedded Systems are made for computer engineers.
I'm a computer engineer. Demand is very high and you can go many places or develop ideas. You can go into software or electrical, or computer engineering specific topics like networking. Safety critical software systems are going to be important with everything now running on computers. Cyber is big.
Are you sure the demand is very high? Because all these tech layoffs has got me thinking if i should really switch from Mechanical Engineering to Computer Engineering?……😅
@@lionedheart I wouldn't switch from Mechanical Engineering to Computer Engineering, but computer engineering is generally the practical part to computing that all backgrounds can and want to use to actually make the computer do what they want in a physical level for their specific project. So you may not have to actually get a Computer Engineering degree, unless you love them like I do, but you might integrate more of the computer engineering discipline into your work. For example, a Computer Engineer like myself, would need to work with a mechanical engineer such as yourself to do 3D modeling and structural, and materials analysis, because I don't have that part in my background as a Computer Engineer. We got a materials science and structure class and lattices, so we can get creative, but I would ultimately rely on your use of FEA and simulation, modeling. I have seen many examples where Mechanical Engineers also sign off on safety-critical systems as the Professional Engineer. In my opinion, keep going and chose the occupation that best suits your thinking and working style, and creative expression. What do you enjoy doing from an emotionally fulfilling level, and look for those traits, in your degree decision..
@@LydellAaron Most students graduate with a Mechanical Engineering degree in comparison to other engineering degrees. The projected growth is not that great, around 3%. I love both computer engineering and Mechanical. I am afraid i may not be able to get a job as a Mechanical Engineer since it’s more competitive. Currently i can graduate with an Associates in Mechanical Engineering. So it may compliment the Bachelors of Science in Computer Engineering, mechatronics concentration. Everything you mentioned from Mechanical Engineering Engineers can be compensated with certificates and relative experience in internships. The fact that there are less opportunities for Mechanical engineers, more competitive, and less pay than Computer engineers makes me wonder if i should switch my major. Taking passion out of the equation. The fact that you work with mech engineers and computer engineer yourself, you still insist i should pursue Mechanical Engineer?
@@lionedheart i would suggest you stick with mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineering is the most broad engineering field and they have so many jobs. If you want to do some computer engineering topics than I think you need to get experience in mechanical and work your way up to a more computer engineering based role. Computer engineering has less jobs than mechanical so you have to weigh the number of jobs vs number of graduates with the degree ratio.
@@lionedheart Computer Engineering BS with mechatronics emphasis is an excellent combination. Very good approach. Good luck! On the ME side: My advice would be to be sure to learn statics and dynamics. Learn simulation and modeling tools for CFD, FEA and get your analysis chops with Matlab or Python. There's a wave of automation happening that you will be well suited to capture.
No! There are a lot of jobs for computer engineers. The video depicts you needing to put in extra work to get into electrical or software (larger fields) if you decide to switch
CmpE is a great degree, it dependent on the curriculum. Most university of Technology in my country offer an extensive knowledge of EE n SE which means students who studied CE excel in SE or EE. In my country CE is a combination of Computer Science n Electronic Engineering.

So.. What do you think? CompE or is it not worth it? 🤔💭
maybe it depends, if wanted to work on either end of spectrum probably CompE is not worth it. If undecided then CompE maybe a good start.
It is highly useless. I regret
why?

You neither an electrical engineer nor a software engineer. You can't specialize.@@imnemo2327

Thanks Bob Baller! Maybe we’ll have to interview you for an Embedded video? 🤔

This video was definitely going for the 8 minute threshold...

It'd be better if Comp E electives were replaced by classes that actually related to your major
What classes/topics weren't offered that you wish were?
Totally on point about the need for extra-curriculars! I personally think its a great advantage, having the option to branch in software or the electrical side later on in the career, cuz sometimes you need options in life as your mind evolves with the passage of time. Great content!
Thank you Anam! Agreed, the optionality of computer is a HUGE plus!
Hello, can you name good courses in electrical engineering please
Conclusion: Tailor your degree to your plans and aspirations. Are you going to be working for someone or yourself? think straight.
I work on embedded systems as a Computer Engineering major, at my company many people like sticking to only hardware or only software making my skills and interests needed.
Thank you so much for addressing this issue! I feel like, okay there're people who understands my situation!
Pls electronics engineering next

I acatually see compE students doing better at engineering and design in general, since we have the ENGINEERING part of the curriculum

Hi.
You can do a video about Civil Engineering and Architectural Engineering while covering Structural Engineering and Architecture as well.

Nice work sir
after completing 3 sems I want to know what the f am i doing/studying now 🤡
Im doomed

Why like 4 months after i started ??? My whole life is a misery i dont even get Internships
Watch our "Get hired" video! ruclips.net/video/6OuwxyO6ozE/видео.html Put those into practice and you'll be well on your way. 👍
No one gets internships 4 months after starting their degree. You need to be in the sophomore before companies even begin taking a look at you
who tf is claiming this?
