[@valyd10]

I think VHDL is actually growing, not going down. I am working in the industry and the number of jobs searching VHDL designers is comparable to 9 to 1 compared to Verilog. So if I see 10 jobs, 9 of them are searching for VHDL. I don't know what to say, I think trend is that Verilog is for University usage, but in reality VHDL is more demanded in companies. On the other hand you are right about System Verilog, it is really used. Thanks! Maybe you have some time to invest in checking what I have said? Appreciate!

[@Freireg1503]

When I started college I though Matlab was kinda useless and overcomplicated, nowadays I see the powerful tool that it really is. I really love working with task automatization w py and I think it should get some more of the spotlight

[@AnastasiInTech]

Thank you for your comment :) I am not a huge fan of Matlab as well. However, It is awesome/irreplaceable for some of the applications, for instance modelling

[@TheNefastor]

@@AnastasiInTech not a huge fan either, but it can be great for bringing the gap between scientists and engineers. I've used it to convert maths from someone's Ph.D thesis into an FPGA implementation. AFAIK that's the only toolchain that makes this possible within a single environment. The C code generator isn't too bad either.

Advice given to me by an Intel SoC Design Engineer: Rather than worrying about what language to learn, get used to several different types of programming languages and gain the ability to more easily pick up whatever language is being used in whatever position/project you're working.

[@knofi7052]

Ana, these are all great programming languages. But I would definitely put Julia on the list as well. Julia is a universal programming language, but was originally also developed for numerical (science) and technical computing. It has all the advantages of MatLab and Python, but with the execution performance of C. And the multiple dispatch approach and the dynamic type system enable a previously unattained efficient software development. Julia is not that widespread yet, although the growth rates are very high. Julia can theoretically replace Python very quickly, since legacy Python code and libraries can be very easily used within Julia.

I keep running over videos of this channel 🙂 From my experience in the industry I'd also recommend to somewhat specialize. Yes, generalists are in high demand but each of these languages is a vast territory with it's own swamps and sinkholes to fall into. For most people it's really hard to be good at multiple things. There's reasons that hardware engineers run in panic when they see a software guy wielding a screwdriver or software guys are tempted to start all over when they get a pile of code from hardware folks. In other words, try to be good at stuff, not mediocore at everything.

[@christopherjoseph651]

@@crhu319 Wow you really have no clue what you're talking about. First C and C++ use the same primitives, and THE DEFINITION of "int" is that it is dependent on the specific hardware that it is running on and also compiler dependent and therefore scales with register size.

@@christopherjoseph651 Machine code is not a language as it is different for every chip. Assembly is a language that attempts to abstract machine code. Sure, they all HAVE C compilers - but is that the ONLY compiler available for them? I haven't looked into microcontrollers recently but I expect that situation will change if it hasn't already. Regardless it doesn't change the fact that c & c++ are horrible languages.

In your opinion, is it better to master/improve the languages I already know or have some exposure to? Or start learning one from scratch?

@@philipogbodu3520 Depends on what you mean by electrical engineer because there are a wide variety of specialties and for most of them you will never be required to write any code. If you want to write firmware then you will either be programming FPGAs (then you should learn Verilog or VHDL) or microcontrollers (then you should learn C/C++)(and if you really want to master them learn assembly). There are many companies where the hardware engineer does not write firmware (they have dedicated firmware engineers) but you will work with them so you need to understand how the hardware in the device works so that you can help them fully utilize what they have available. Most firmware engineers don't have good understanding of hardware. There are also companies where you will do the hardware and firmware. As for all the other programming that you might do (data analysis, parsing, file manipulation) you can use any language for that so use whatever you learned and know well. If you know how to program (understand algorithms and concepts like flow control and memory management) then you can quickly learn the syntax for any language. If you're in college then you will learn whatever they select for the curriculum, probably python or C. If you are younger then learn whatever language you have access to and can use for projects.

Every high end programmer will write the critical portions of their code using in-line assembly.

@@christopherjoseph651 Define high end programmer. I can program in x86 assembly, but I doubt that everyone is using it in performance-critical code these days. And there are several reasons for this: 1. The field where such optimizations in assembly are actually paid for is very small. 2. x86 CPUs in particular are very complex these days; you have to take a lot into account if you want to manually achieve faster code in x86 assembly than a highly optimized compiler produces. The effort can be disproportionate to the result. 3. You lose platform independence. That's why it makes sense to alternatively have a code branch for the same task that was written in a high-level language. And then at the latest you will realize whether your extra effort was even justified. There are special cases where x86 assembly still makes sense, no question, but the area is very small. So no, I would disagree with you on this statement that *every* high end programmer will write the critical portions of their code using in-line assembly. Of course, things can look different for other architectures, especially microcontrollers, but I wouldn't call them high-end programmers. For me, these are more like normal forest and meadow programmers who, due to the limited hardware resources available on microcontrollers, then write the code in assembly language, which makes the code a little bit faster and smaller.

[@christopherjoseph651]

I hope you're serious about what you wrote as most students now seem to only be interested in obtaining the degree and not actually learning anything. If you want to be a good engineer you need to really learn about the devices that are used. This means learning and understanding how real devices work, not just ideal models, and how their non-ideal characteristics affect the overall design. Unfortunately you probably won't learn too much about this in school. Most schools focus on ideal only because it is easier and a good starting place. If you just want to make something that works this level of understanding is fine and you will know enough to copy application note schematics. If you actually want to do engineering you need to analyze your design and guarantee it will meet all specifications under all operating conditions. This requires an understanding of how real components will perform considering all parameter variations, temperature/environmental effects, power variations, etc. I teach a graduate level advanced op-amp design class. I make my students do exactly what I do at my job. If you look at a datasheet for an op-amp there is a lot of information in there and all of the values in the tables and charts influence how the op-amp will perform and affect the real product. You also NEED TO BE GOOD AT MATH. I have so many students that can't even begin design problems because they can't do the basic math that is required to generate the ideal design equations. Many of them are doing everything correctly and then just stop because the equations become overwhelming. You should talk to your teachers and ask them if they would help you understand more advanced topics that are not covered in your classes, real world design topics like I mentioned above. If they are a good teacher they should be willing to teach you. Also find some kind of hobby where you can apply what you learn in school to design something that you like. If you are doing something in your free time for fun then you will be much more willing to research and learn on your own. If you don't think electrical engineering is fun and worth spending your free time doing then you shouldn't become an electrical engineer because you won't enjoy your job. As for classes, the best classes to take aren't typically offered in most colleges. #1 PCB design. Actual layout design, not just how to use some software. This is very important with increasing speeds. At higher frequencies if the layout is not done correctly the circuit simply will not work. #2 EMI/EMC design. This is never taught even though almost every product you design will need to be certified. You will probably fail the first time you take a product to get certified and you will have no idea how to fix it. Anyone who says this is black magic knows nothing about this subject. You can learn the math and theory to design circuits properly to handle EMI/EMC. #3 Power supply design, not power electronics teaching buck/boost ideal duty cycle calculations. Actually designing and testing power supply circuits. 99% of all electrical products need some kind of power supply.

what u think about Rust ?

[@AnastasiInTech]

I've never heart of Rust being used in hardware or electronic engineering fields. Rust is mostly used for software applications... As far as I know It is gaining popularity but its usage is still relatively low

Hello,what's the language of the engineering industry?

[@christopherjoseph651]

For microcontrollers it is still C. You won't find a micro that doesn't have a free C compiler

[@Orell1986]

My top choices: 1) C++ 2) Python 3) System Verilog But my choices are risky, since when you say you know C++, you also in away are saying you know OO and job interviewers will question you on that subject. Also, you will not have a choice when going to university, you must know these languages! I've been programming since I was 14 (now 35), and I wish someone would have told me to at least start with C++ but instead, I started with assembly 😂

[@emmanueladams419]

ha! ha!! She said Python is a little bit older than her. If u really want to be good in every programming language, start with c. Any other programming language will be easy to learn if u know c. C is not easy to learn but once u understand c, programming in general will easy.
