As a Comp. Eng student, i tell you guys its the perfect degree for someone that really loves ALL about computers
how is the job market and entry level salaries?
Yea man as a computer nerd y I in learn ALL about it (hardware, software and networking)
would you reccomend it , i was a software engineering student and had to switch mid uni to a different uni and different degree and thats what i got in , but it doesnt have all programming as software so im scared.
@@muhammadaitesam6157 my question was the job market, do you know about how the job market is? In canada and US
@@ghostplayz9754 the job market is pretty good especially if you are looking for remote clients . You are very likely to get a high paying job in both countries and it's not ai replaceable either due to the type of work
Computer engineering is one of the most versatile degrees for work in tech. Not only does it open doors for hardware degrees, it opens for software degrees as well. You can work in IT, software, hardware engineering, and even be qualified for general engineering work as well. Just know that the really interesting AI and automation fields want a masters degree

@@muhammadaitesam6157 you can learn programming on the side. High school and middle school kids are taking it. Coding is becoming a good secondary skill not primary unless you’re the best of the best
@@Naomi-xu4hq understandable thank you
@@Naomi-xu4hq Same dude, In my country in Top Uni i got admission in Software, I dropped it and emailed them to put me in CE as it would make me 2 in 1, just think of it, CE in Bachelors and AI or any other SE field in MS. BOOM
@@Naomi-xu4hq EE would be much more broader. Doesn’t matter if you study CS, EE, CE. But EE have much more fields to go such as power, RF, EMag, DSP, also can work in software if you put in the work
Thank you for enlightening us about Computer Engineering in a very easy to understand way. Do keep up the good work
The major problem with this video is the way you underestimated the amount of math required to get this degree. It’s pretty much an electrical engineering degree ( most schools treat it as a branch of EE)
In my school it’s fully electronics engineering plus some few electrical classes and computer science classes
The focus is much on hardware and the math is killer
same
Math is the exact same for all engineering majors. Only difference with CompE is that you will take discrete math also and maybe linear algebra. But unlike EE you won’t have to take the same amount of physics classes so it really equal outs in terms of difficulty. You will take the cs wash out classes such as data structures and algorithms which is killer for some people.
@@tarasaurus24 You will take all the Circuits, signal analysis, DSP, and EM waves classes which are 100% Advanced math classes. EE doesn’t really have that many physics courses aside from a handful of elementary mechanics courses ( which CompE students also take). EM waves can be considered a physics course but it’s more math/vector calculus based than theory based. You might take solid state electronics as well, and that’s about all the physics based courses that you’ll face. Unless you want to specialise in software engineering, you probably wouldn’t need discrete mathematics ( that’s more of a CS course). You’d also take a healthy dose of statistics and machine learning based math courses which EE students also take.
@@dekev7503 yeah no CompE is taking all those EE classes in undergrad. Go look up any CompE course map. I have a computer engineering degree never took a EM waves class 🫥. You have to take computer science classes which you’ve listed none. Electrical engineers almost always take advance physics which has to do with intro to quantum mechanics and magnetism which CompE do not have to take. This seems like some AI generated response because legit half of the listed stuff is incorrect.
I am graduating with a computer engineering degree in one more semester and I have no job offers after 100+ applications. It’s so frustrating
what school?
yeah tell us what school
@@Timmy-mi2ef MSU
You can’t self teach Computer Engineering. You need a degree in it
@@Marktee772 Too many to list 😅. Just search CE degree curriculum. You need everything
@@Marktee772 It's pretty difficult to learn the hardware stuff on your own
Not really
You can learn this stuff on your own but it would be hard to take the right paths without the guide that the degree plan offers..
Like a random kid trying to learn all these topics without someone telling him would definitely miss a lot of fundamentals
@@AmmoBops Exactly! That’s what school is for lol. And most Computer Engineering jobs requires a degree 🙂
This degree costed me my mental health! I am quite sure that, now that I have a Bachelor Degree in Computer Engineering, I am actually less capable of being a competent programmer than when I finished high-school. When I finished high-school, I didn't have a diploma, but I did have mental health. Now I have a diploma, but I also have a psychotic disorder (I am taking Risperidone, Biperiden, and Alprazolam). That's even worse, isn't it?
what happened???? what college did you go to?
@@Ken9Jaku I went to FERIT, the University of Osijek.
@@teosamarzija why? Was it too hard?
@@autumn_b905 Well, it was way harder than I expected it to be.
@@teosamarzija are you good in math? I am considering but my math skills are not the best
This is the best course in the world
ik that comp engineering is a mix of electrical and comp sci, but honestly i would like to major in electrical and minor in comp sci, i feel like it’s more versatile and if i do need to do more with cs i could get my masters, or would it be better to just get a ce degree instead though i think ce is pretty cool i feel like electrical being more versatile can also be a bit better with a cs minor, since if you take ce you already take coding so double majoring doesnt make sense cuz as a ce you could take cs electives that could fill it out , depending on your college ofc, what yall think ? ima freshman btw and was planning to jsut do cs but honestly i chose it cuz it made a lot of money and actually really prefer hardware though i do still find cs intresting like ai and machine learning
As a current junior in CPE and EE, I’d recommend going for a Computer Engineering (CPE) degree over an EE major with a CS minor. CPE is more than just a mix of EE and CS-it’s a synergy with and allows you to pursue jobs in EE, CS, and CPE. While EE and CPE often share the same first two years, CPE includes key courses like Computer Architecture, Digital Design (e.g., Verilog), and Embedded Systems, which you won’t get in a CS minor. Plus, CPE programs often let you specialize in areas like AI and machine learning, so it’s a great choice if you’re into both hardware and software.
well explained Lukas! you are awesome.
Great video!
It looks very similar to electronics and communication engineering
I love the content. sub'd already
This video just really motivated me I think I wanna take this programme
just got in university on this major very interested
Awesome!! Good luck
As a Computer Engineering graduate 2024, there are a lot of opportunities career to choose. 😊
And I choose Embedded system Engineer career path.
How about cyber security can I work in that as a computer engineer
@Kendurama yes, i got my internship company for cybersecurity
@@kurtdecena8681 can you tell which is better EE or CE for future as I love both
How does the salary look like?
@@LeoMessi-mk6lu EE if u want hardware only CE if u want a more versatile option
73k-100k any of them are perfect salary
Keep in mind these roles are very viable as work from home, that I'm sure is a contributor to satisfaction
Sir , Send back the link to the job opening in your bio , it's not there right now
can you make a video on Power Engineering please?
They only have aas where im from. I know i can't be nothing but a eet if i pick electrical. But i want to do embedded will 2 years be enough
Can i learn about gaming/coding as an computer engineer?
Starting salary should be 4k Euro/Month ??
This may be a stupid question, but how crucial is math expertise for this field?
@@greendalf123 incredibly. There’s a very large amount of pretty tough math in almost all the topics he touched upon. You need proficiency in math, and honestly you should probably also like the act of doing math. Simply because of the volume of it
probably around 25 to 30 % of the degree is math alone
How abt embedded engineer?
W video
Thanks this really helps
I suck at math, can I still become a computer engineer?
@@mohammedhannan2263 you will have to learn a lot of math, but that's what college is for and you will struggle with something at some point anyway. If you want to become a computer engineering, I think it's worth the struggle
Math is a learned skill. It's like learning a musical instrument, it takes repetitive frequent practice to "get it" and be good at it. Yes, some people naturally "get it" easier, but don't think because you suck at math now that you can't get better and be a computer engineer. Luckily, today there are thousands of free online resources that can teach you better than the handful of teachers you might have had in high school. Also critically important, each level of math builds on prior math. So, for example, you must know Algebra and Trig to be good with Calculus. Calc 1 topics themselves aren't too complicated, but the solving a calc problem requires doing a lot of algebraic manipulation of equations so you have to know Algebra well. Calc will have Trig functions, so you will need to know your Trig relationships to "beat" an equation into a solvable shape. This continues on with all higher level math so start at the beginning, relearn all the lower level stuff until you just know it. It will make the higher level stuff much easier as you go.
Also, some people just can't teach math and some people may not teach math in the style that makes sense to you. Try many different online courses, youtube videos, books, etc. to find the teachers that you can understand the best.
@@Ana-mu1td Yeah I figured, it’s just that math is my greatest weakness I’ve always struggled with it ever since I was a kid. I barely was able to pass calc 1, and I’m struggling in calc 2 right now. I feel like I’m gonna make it no where.
@@mohammedhannan2263don’t be hopeless
Make a good ending for doki doki literature club where more men come in and get with the girls and the main character or whatever gets with one of the girls or another one

That would have to be a mod. God I hope someone makes it it sounds awesome!
In india it's mandatory for IT jobs
Are you a working professional???🤔

The salary 😒
In real world, most of the salaries are much higher after a couple years of experience. What he listed here as "average" is closer to "starting" salaries in many of those fields. There are programmers and software engineers that make under 100k, but most with 3-5 years experience will be over 100k. The really good ones will be pushing 200k. Cybersecurity guys tend to all make over 100k. Hardware and cloud engineers all are around 100k. Data scientists actually are one of the lowest paid, not highest like he has here. Most are under 100k.
I'm basing this on US salaries, I don't know if he was referencing Europe or elsewhere.
Thanks this really helps
