[@rihanshahini7001]

is that profitable being computer engineer i mean is it well paid

[@Pawl0solidus]

rihan shahini it depends. But you need to understand that usually nobody is hired as computer engineer. Often they are software developers, software engineers, firmware engineers, embedded software engineers, software architect, hardware engineers, etc. So it depends of your job, the company that is hiring you and if you are going to be trainee, jr, Senior, master ir even project leader, manager, etc.

Another thing to watch out for, which is completely unrelated to this video but will still help a lot. You may think that for example looking up computer science computer engineering pros cons and watching them video after video is helpful, but really if you keep doing that you are just mindlessly consuming information, and will only absorb some of it. The rest will be lost. So I would say depending on the length of the video watch 2 or 3 videos like this, take a break to do whatever you want-but not mindlessly consuming information-, then come back and watch 2 to 3 more. And repeat. The same is true with articles, podcasts and everything else. Its better to do a little every so often than to do a bunch at one time. Hope this helps.

4 years ago I chose Computer Engineering over Computer Science, because CPE seemed like Computer Science + Physics and Electronics; which seemed more challenging and interesting than "only" taking CS. My impression was wrong, though, in that in CS you get to learn a lot more about Algorithms and Data Structures... while Computer Engineering spends A LOT of time in electronics.It's not that CPE is more challenging than CS; both are challenging in their own ways. Now I pretty much hate electronics, and anything related to circuits. I feel that probably I would have enjoyed a CS degree a lot more. On the other hand, I got to have some classes that CS doesn't have (at least at my university), and which I enjoyed very much: Vector Calculus, Differential Equations, Signals and Systems, Control Systems... I also feel that those classes have helped me to gain a better understanding of artificial intelligence methods (AI is the area in which I'm most interested right now), because they helped me to understand continuous math better, and to apply it to different kinds of physical phenomena.

[@luciesayo]

I feel exactly the same as you, even down to the AI. I heard from my parents (who work in IT) that they view the CPE degree to be much more rigorous and challenging than just CS, and that engineers would make better workers for that reason. I'm not sure if I agree with that, but it appears to me that Computer Engineers have a broader perspective of the "computing" aspect, since they focus on hardware as well as software, rather than getting a very in-depth perspective on only the programming aspect. I am pretty much in your position - I'm not too fond of the EE side of my degree, but I do like the exposure in terms of classes that the CPE degree gives over CS (like you mentioned - Vector Calculus, Differential Equations, Signals and Systems, Control Systems...). I feel like that exposure could keep my options open in terms of available work - I can go to either software design or something closer to hardware, rather than being restricted to only software.

I wish more people would watch this video. Some people don't know the difference between a programmer(Code Monkey) degree vs a computer science degree. My brother in law taught himself how to code and thinks he know everything. But if I explained to him his application is running at exponential time he has no clue what that means and how inefficient it is. Anyone can learn how to code, but it takes time and practice to write clean and efficient code.

[@kingoftech]

This video isn't really about complexity notation at all...

[@sirxavior1583]

Yes. But you make mention of it as a required course for Computer Science (Algorithm Analysis) at 3:43 which is correct. Some general programming degrees will not even explain why using an Arraylist is bad.

[@kingoftech]

Interesting, I didn't know that. A bit confused though - if the pros and cons of various algorithms and data structures aren't taught, you'd be coding like how you learn a language - rote learning and copying and pasting with no idea what is actually going on

[@sirxavior1583]

Alot of Junior or community colleges fail to teach that

[@johnfedorov8089]

It's because computer science and programming are two totally different things, computer science at it's heart is a branch of mathematics, while programming is a very small subset of applied computer science.

[@cubby091398]

The math required for Computer Science is Calculus I and II, Discrete Structures, and Linear Algebra. Sometimes Multivariable Calculus(Calculus III) is also required and I would highly recommend taking it. Even Differential Equations could be of help depending on what you do in Computer Science.

[@0100-m9v]

I was a ComEng graduated last 1995 and I work as a Software developer for more than 20 years. As you go along, you could work either of these courses.

[@BangMaster96]

There is a difference between Computer Scientist, and a programmer. Anyone can become a programmer by learning a high level easy language like Python, or something else. But, a Computer Scientists has to understand how the language works, they go top down in their learning, starting with the compiler, to linkers, to assemblers, to machine language, to hardware execution of programs. Also, design of efficient Algorithms is not something that any programmer can do, it takes special mathematical knowledge and understanding of the limits of machine. Plus, how a programming language is made, and how a compiler is made, theory of computation, are things that most self taught programmers don't even know about. All the self taught programmer act like they are computer scientist, when i ask one of them what is the time efficiency between selection sort and heap sort, and why, they don't have a clue as to what i'm talking about. They don't even know anything about the Computer Architecture, Assembly language, Opcodes, how program executes inside the memory. They don't know anything about operating system fundamentals. So, all these self taught programmers that act like they are Computer Scientists need to be put in a separate category.

[@edwinbuck1854]

The main problem with self-taught people isn't what they know. Most of them know what they taught themselves, and often they know it well. The main problem is what they don't know. Often they have mastered what they have seen, but have no idea about things they haven't seen. A formal computer science program also serves to let you know how wide and deep the field is. This means you can recognize a problem as being well served by some approach (which even if you forgot the details of the approach, allows you to pick more of the "right" tools after doing a bit of research). I had a brilliant self-taught friend that couldn't figure out a bit of code I wrote (he was in this case, my peer review). He read it for five days trying to figure out how it operated. Finally he gave up and gave it a passing review, and then asked me "how does it work?" I said, it's a DFA, and then soon realized by his response that he's never seen a DFA. I tried to explain it to him, and then realized he didn't have enough of a background for a quick explanation. You see, knowing what a DFA is isn't enough, you also have to know how to configure one to solve a problem (and possibly how to prove the configuration solves the problem). Even a lot of computer scientists don't do enough work to really "know their field," so a self-taught shouldn't despair. Like I said, self-taught people typically know what they've learned really well (and a good chunk of Computer Scientists don't know what was taught to them equally as well). It's just that if you really want to go "next level" you either have to clone a degree program, and still invest in the time to developing how to use your tools outside of the formal learning.

[@Tombi432]

Computer science also includes programming with multithreading, GPU parallelized stuff and maybe Quantum Computing in the future(if University has one). Computer science also covers how to squeeze out any little bit of performance by doing some fancy magic. The most important math in computer science are vector math, circle, trig, matrices and linear functions. These complex numbers, integral, differential were never covered. Regarding math, it is likely used in a need to know fashion where you look it up when needed, implement it once as a function and use it forever without thinking about it again. For those who dont like advanced math, I would advice choosing computer science because math is easier there. However computer science is filled with abstract thinking which seems to be more difficult for some people than math. I even suggest that space imagination is more important so you can visualize the data structures in your brain. I have met many people who excell in math but struggle with data structures.

It depends on the study plan, in my uni CS is at the math department.

The hard part about math is to understand and prove things, not solve exercise mechanically.

Then and only then, you could choose which path you would like to take. I ended up doing Computer Science because I really liked what subjects we'd do there, but you had some extra credits you could invest in doing other courses. Using those credits, you could choose other specializations' subjects, and ended up doing many from Computer Engineering (many called me crazy for doing hard subjects when I could be breezing through what remained of college).

Then bring in Computer science, which is in the science discipline. Then, you can compare the differences between the sciences and engineering domains. Don’t forget engineering is a regulated discipline, and its also called “Applied Science” and holds true for both computer and software engineering. Even though you mentioned that both comp. science and comp. Engineering do some maths courses in common, however, engineering maths don’t see proofs fundamentally, they focused more in the applications. Besides, I can agree with you that curriculum varies from school to school, but this variation can’t make science == engineering. Comp science is not “programming” but study the theory of computations! Therefore, even if a piece of code of a program works, a comp. scientist, will ask questions such as: will it always work, what is the time and space complexity? Etc. they do more of: - Algorithmic thinking, - System architecture and design for efficiency applications of algorithms and data structures, - Theoretical computer to solve/proof NP-C problems, TSP, complexity, and the likes, Last, I have seen tones of misleading videos on youtube were people are super confusing the differences among a software developer vs software engineer vs programmer vs computer scientist. :smh

[@haharinaze]

So what is difference between software developer and software engineer? And programmer vs comp scientist?

[@BreezyBre1223]

im going into college as a computer engineering major but even after watching this im still worried about which major is better for me. i really like software and game design, so im mostly just worried that with computer engineering i wont get as much knowledge about software as i'd want, although i really do like the hardware side as well. My question is: could I still get a job in software development as a computer engineer? and is there a good balance of hardware and software learning in computer engineering? I would love to equally learn both

[@STPell]

BreezyBre1223 I'm a current 2nd year CE student and I had to take the beginning steps of the software engineering degree in addition to the beginning steps of the EE degree. So in my experience you get a lot of programming and the base knowledge of software engineering (SE), with later options to specialise into the more hardware based EE side or the more programming and CS based SE side. As to getting a job working as a developer, yes and no. A lot of EE is moving towards just sticking a micro controller in it and implementing behaviour in software so there is definitely a demand for embedded system programming, but if you're more interested in higher level programming such as app development or more endured development you may struggle to find work over specialised SE or CS majors.

[@donvo2163]

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure what advice to give. Any good suggestions I can think of are flawed by my perspective as still being a college undergrad. If you are truly devoted to an idea of working on hardware with video game design, I suggest you ask video game companies about their opinions. I believe only a video game company itself could clear your doubts. I am positive that there are opportunities for this since there are computer hardware engineers that need to work on designing their game consoles. I suggest you clearly show your devotion towards this idea in your Senior Design Project as you finish your degree. However, that's all I can say in the matter. I think you should ask employers at a video game company for suggestions on which major and technical electives to choose. I suggest asking companies that still uses game consoles, or plans on developing their own. Asking a computer game company wouldn't allow you any opportunity for hardware work, since that's all up to computer hardware companies.

[@uzairakram899]

people go into software development with physics, these days no need to worry.

Uzair Akram they do that now, but when the demand meets the applicants that won’t be the case

I am going to Carnegie Mellon and majoring in both ECE (Electrical +Computer Engineering) and CS. Im really excited, the programs are ranked second in the US and 1st in the world respectively! : )

[@justonian_]

Yes thanks man just bought my 1st computer an then switched majors from ME to CE much more interesting and relatable imo

[@arman6976]

thanks so much I learned a lot from this video. hope for you to chose the best major.

[@zachstar]

Thank you! Glad it helped

[@JustWatchingVideo56]

As a Computer Engineer, I’ve taken most of these classes but there are a lot of electives that I haven’t. I took most of the Computer Science as electives. There’s overlap in some concepts but personally felt that Computer Science was a lot more rich with modern tech.

[@KungShu69]

I'm a senior computer engineering computer science major and tbh the electrical taining you get isn't in enough detail to prepare you to work with designing hardware. There's always going to be an electrical doing that. Might as well go full CS and be better at programming which is what you'll end up doing anyway

[@lalaland0077]

SAEG garcia I think you should spend your free time studying it. For me it helps, specially in Math.

[@TinaDanielsson]

At my university CS was a 3 year bachelor program and CE a 5 year master program. 95% of the courses in CS were the same as in CE. The only difference was the order of the courses since CE had their specific courses mixed in from the first year. The CS program was discontinued in 2013 since there were too few applicants. But there's instead a program that is more software programming focused and only includes the basic CS courses. So now there's the "hardware path" originating in CS and the "software path" originating in CS. And I think it's a good setup. But I do wish there was a way to still get an official CS degree by taking the courses missing in your chosen program.

[@sina0134]

OK then I go with Computer Science for the rest of my life thank you for your help 👌

What courses are needed to become a Robotics Engineer and what is it about?

[@lawful_neutral]

Look into Mechatronics my friend

[@ahhhhh2341]

From what I've learn from school, think about a robot. The skeleton is mechanical engineering, the nerves is electrical engineering, and the brain is computer science. Think about which part interests you more

[@projectjt3149]

Here's the thing with me. The fun part of taking robotics class in high school was when I'm debugging and finding out which motor or sensor is going rogue. Is that computer engineering or just programming?

[@Pawl0solidus]

Computer Science is great if you want to work with AI and Machine Learning for example. Computer Engineering will let you do that too, and even design the circuits of the robot and maybe build it physically with some premade model, like a 3D printed one. Mecatronics, Mechanics and even Control and Automation Engineering Will help you build a robot body from scratch, and some of these courses often use electronics too, and even some programming. Of course all of the Engineering have calculus and physics, so just choose the one that you most like.

[@hashhacker2130]

It's a mix of CE and CS with mechanical engineering and electrical engineering and very few universities teach it as a separate major. you'll need to study everything separately, or take one which interests you

Here we have 3 fields. Computer science, computer engineering and software engineering. I'm software engineering. I really get along with other computer science students, but not really computer engineering students. Actually, I feel like computer engineering students have more in common with electrical engineering. Not to say computer engineering is bad, but a lot of projects we are given in computer science or software engineering courses require high level programming. Most computer engineers can only do basic level programming.

I'll take the self-taught Degrees in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering and the like. Anything from building simple gates to a fully working CPU and or Computer, design the ISA, the Compiler, OS, and even make the applications that run for it all while building 3D Graphics Engines and Games that run on those systems. Pure dedication to the craft and trade, 100% self-taught and I still learning! Now, I'm starting to dive into A.I. algorithms and design with Machine Learning and Neuro Networks! I've read up a little bit on Signals Analysis and Cryptography but not fully my interest. I like the CPU design of Hardware and I like the 3D application designs for Physics Simulations and Animations.
