    In my state, computer science and software engineering is virtually interchangeable. They cant give degrees in "software engineering", but they can give you computer science degrees with special focus on classes involving software architecture, programming, and development.

      @@ShaneHummus This is simply one of my favourite videos on your channel! I study in Canada and at my university, CS and SE basically have the same classes up until third or fourth year. In fact, SE students get to do a project in their final year by reaching out to a client and build an actual product based on their requirements whereas CS majors do research and write a thesis, but both majors do at least 4 CO-OP terms at tech companies in the summer. I found out that SE is really heavy in Physics and Chemistry (and you pretty much have to take classes they make you), whereas CS is more math-related (and you have more electives and flexibility). For that reason, SE students can't take CS classes in artificial intelligence but CS students can take these classes as well as some of the SE classes as electives. Interestingly, the stats on my university website are that the job placement rate of CS majors is 100% after two years whereas SE's employment rate is only 89.6%. I would say that both SE and CS are very similar and in some cases won't make any difference going into the tech field. In the future, I might switch over to CS since the chem and physic classes are taking too much of my time to code :)

    Next year, I’ll be an incoming freshman majoring in electrical and computer engineering. It’s a dual program where you choose electrical or computer your junior year, and from there you study a specific area. If you choose computer engineering, you can focus on software engineering, which is pretty cool and is the plan as of now. Awesome video man!

      Well technically you learn both, or rather how software and electronics interact. That link between the 1's and 0's and electrical currents is demystified.

    Dude
    Leaving all bs aside
    In my opinion a degree is always usefull.
    It shows up 4 - 5 years commitment to something.
    You make friends, who might be the brilliant minds on earth. I've know excellent programmers from university.
    You have professors (who hopefully in a best case scenario are excellent in what they're doing, not seeing anyone in particular)
    Well it opens you doors to other fields including management, i know people who are working as manager to restaurants or any other chain.
    You get smarter i mean it you can compare how programmers think vs other people and you might astonish yourself.
    I know you at least get a job.

      By the way picking your university is important, the greater the prestigue the better the study plan at the cost of you working harder to pick the pace, enrolling into it means more hardwork and commitment than anyone else.

Will it be a good choice to do technical computer science together with Applied Mathematics or electrical engineering? How much work would it be? And is it worth it? great vid btw and thanks in advance!

    • @kool2btrue
      @kool2btrue 3 роки тому +1

      That will depend a lot in your country. Most US universities will not allow students to double major when already in CS or engineer. This is because the course load is pretty intense in each and there is little intersection between disciplines. I studied Computer Engineering in the US, which in simplified terms is the combination of CS and Electrical Engineering. It was rough, so much so that we had the least graduates out of any engineering program on my year. Usually each engineering discipline has a group of incredibly difficult courses that filters out students. With double the disciplines you may face this twice.

      Do Computer Engineering, it's freaking amazing! If you decided you like software more you can still take those jobs as a CE major. If you like pure software then you'll want to do a CS or SE degree. I would go for CE though since it gives you a better insight into how these electronic components operate on a deep level and can help you debug code in such a way of thinking.

    • @kool2btrue
      @kool2btrue 3 роки тому +1

      I second that, but I'm biased since I did CE. CS will allow you to explore CS a bit more since your courses will focus in only one discipline, but CE will give you deeper understanding of hardware and how software actually interacts with it. You will learn to program low-level stuff that goes directly on the metal. Once you graduate, CE offers a wider array of entry level positions since you can pursue 2 disciplines, although once you get in one you usually stay in it.

    • @dudex9639
      @dudex9639 3 роки тому +2

      If you are interested in hardware more than software and would think of a job in software as a second choice or backup plan go for CE, if you are most interested in software and it is definitely your dream work, you will be better in CS since it gives you more knowledge and therefore will let you succeed in this field which leads to you landing potentially better job (you can still get good software job with CE degree but you will have to teach things first)

      Nope. I learned from scratch. It’s just tedious because computers are dumb and take what you say and not what you mean. If you trust the process you shouldn’t have any issue. The beginner courses get you up to speed. UA-cam anything you don’t understand and try to understand the overall concept. Don’t be afraid to look up answers but read the explanations to the problems

      I can answer as a 27 year old who did this. Since we are only 3 years off, maybe I can offer some help in this question.
      YES and NO. At this point if you are 30 years old and dont have any experience in the field, the degree will do absolutely nothing at all. You'll be 34 years old with no tech experience. Even if there is a company who hires people without experience, a company would rather hire a 22 year old out of college rather than a 34 year old out of college. They will think you waste time and no company wants a time waster.
      Those are the reasons for NO.
      Here are the reasons for yes and what you will need to do: PROJECTS PROJECTS PROJECTS! By the time you finish your degree you should have tons of projects done and displayed as a resume. You gotta show them that you didnt waste time. I know certs dont mean much, but getting some certs at 34 years old will probably help. Remember internships help a ton! But what I noticed is companies prefer younger people for those internships, so finding a basic job in tech while doing your degree can get you that added experience, even helpdesk. Get a helpdesk job by your second year, the last thing you want is you are 34 years old and only then you can get a helpdesk job.
      Conclusion: It is worth it if you go above and beyond. It's worth it if you create projects and learn some coding and frameworks on your own while you do your degree. Its worth it if you can get some sort of internship by your second year or at least a tech intro job like helpdesk at your second year. But if you are just going to get your degree, nobody will want you at 34 years old compared with just a degree compared to a 22 year old with just a degree. So... use experience as leverage.
