I’m doing the Software Engineering degree at WGU. While I love learning CS, I think SWE checks all boxes to become job ready in a reasonable time frame.
The degree title doesn’t make a difference to employees. Software Engineering just sounds more impressive imo. It has engineering in the title, it’s a no-brainer.
Well it’s a no brainer if you want to be a software engineer, not for every career in tech
not really. computer science is more true engineering than software engineering which is more application programming based.
I vote for the software engineering degree mainly because it's easier. Ultimately, I believe that the degree won't matter as much to most employers. Your experience, soft skills, and contributions will speak louder.
As someone who despises math, the lack of discrete math and Calc in the SWE program make it a no brainer for me. It's also the only SWE program of its kind in that respect based on my research.
Yes this is the only SE degree I’ve seen without at least one Calculus class. Most don’t have Discrete Math from what I’ve seen though.
Computer Science of course, because you can get nearly any type of tech job with it.
Do one between cybersecurity vs cloud computing from WGU please
Can you please make a video about which computer science courses at WGU have proctored exams and which ones do not?
Three questions if you don't mind: 1) Have you found a SWE job with your TESU CS degree? 2) How hard is the TESU Liberal Arts Capstone? 3) If you took Operating Systems at TESU, are the tests hard?
Sure, e-mail me as that’s a decent amount of questions.
Question: would a BS in SE and later a M in CS would be practical and allows the flexibility to move around different areas of tech? Is my ambition to fulfill both levels of a degree.
DSA2 is in python and Intro to AI is also in python.
Fantastic content,
Software engineering here 🙏🏻✍🏻
How’s it going in the degree?
Hello can you make a video on how to prepare for interviews and code/projects etc.. to study. And also the CS degree at WGU its ABET accredited if that is something you consider important. Thanks 🙏🏻 for the great video.
WGU aka Udemy 😂😂😂😂😂
