      It all comes down to your personal interests and career goals. Computer engineering focuses on hardware and the integration of software and hardware, its great for those interested in embedded systems, robotics, and computer hardware design. And computer science has emphasize on software development, algorithms, and data structures, for those who enjoy programming, data analysis, and theoretical computing. Ultimately, the choice depends on whether you're more interested about building computing systems or developing software.

    I’m currently studying Computer Engineering and I’m fine with the electrical aspect of it. It actually grew on me, but the programming and coding part really hurts me. I do not understand anything since I do not have any prior background about it and our professors and basically the curriculum assumes that we know more of it. I still want to give this course a chance before I consider shifting to Electrical or Electronics Engineering. Any tips or guides that can be useful for me to survive this is much appreciated.

    • @EngineeringInsiders
      @EngineeringInsiders  11 місяців тому +5

      Lean toward the electrical side in CE curriculum! Some schools will let you switch to EE if it's available. Then you will take more circuits and less programming. But either way you'll have to do at least some programming. Tutoring/working with friends in the class helped me get through programming personally.

    • @PRCREA
      @PRCREA 4 дні тому

      Programming can be challenging to learn, especially since many instructors may struggle to teach it effectively. They often rush through topics to keep up with academic schedules, leaving students behind. To succeed, take charge of your learning by doing additional research, attending boot camps while in college, or exploring tutorials. Relying solely on classroom instruction might limit your growth and hold you back.

  • @zDoubleE23
    @zDoubleE23 8 місяців тому +6

    If I could do it all over again, I’d double major in EE and CompE. There’s so much overlap that they take the same fundamentals (including embedded C) and take the same FE exam. In my school, the difference between the two were about 5 classes. Definitely be worth the extra semester/year to get them both.

    • @EngineeringInsiders
      @EngineeringInsiders  Рік тому +4

      Hey there! You’re correct about the voltage, cap, and resistor but the L is an inductor.
      It’s kind of hard to tell in this photo but the load of this circuit is the series combination of the R, ind, and cap. They all combine into one “impedance”. If you’re curious look up “series RLC impedance” and that should get you on the right path 😎👍

    I am currently a 2nd year Computer Engineering student. In our school's curriculum it offers three-stages of track course-which are offered in 3rd year 1st semester, 2nd semester, and 4th year first semester-and students have two options to choose from which are software development and embedded systems. Here's my plan: Choose software development in all semesters and become a web-developer-specifically front-end-after I graduate. Now here's my concern, is it possible for a computer engineering graduate to compete in the field of web-development? Also, am I just wasting my time taking Computer Engineering-if my goal is to be a web-developer? Anyways, thank you for this amazing video and I hope to hear from you.

      I'm in my second year of computer engineering major and I've been thinking about doing the same in the past. I believe that even though my classes don't really prepare me for web dev they do teach how to navigate various software related sources so I can learn web dev any time I want. On top of that having understanding of topics that are hard to pick up on your own will help so much in the future if I ever feel like digging in difficult topics like digital signals processing or really anything else. If you want to do web dev just give it a try and see if you want to pursue it later on

    • @jeremymcdonald5281
      @jeremymcdonald5281 7 місяців тому

      I don't think you need to specifically go to school to be a web developer. This is something you can learn on your own by understanding systems in general. I would focus on the systems themselves, the web development part will come naturally to you after completing the more advanced curriculum of systems. Then you can be either one. It would be easier to teach yourself web development than embedded systems - which would be difficult knowing what curricula you should truly focus on doing it on your on.

      The best path to follow is whatever you’re interested in. If you could envision yourself working with hardware, go for it! Give it a try. Software languages I wouldn’t worry too much about - whatever you learn in your degree is usually just fine for starting in the field. You can always learn those on your own on the side if need be.
