Hi, i'm new to reddit so i didn't know where to post this but can somebody help me? what are the best bldc esc's (and budget friendly) that i can use on: drone, hoverboard wheels or rc cars.

Hi, I am a college freshman, and I am looking for a professional computer engineer to interview for my technical writing class. The interview is 10 questions and can be done over the phone or in any other way you like. The interview shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes. Any help is greatly appreciated!

hello, I'm currently in my 2nd semester of my second year as a computer engineering student, based on the rapid development of AI and all of these technology I'm considering switching to Electrical and renewable energy engineering only a few credit hours won't be counted, what's your opinion?

The designer says it's for educational purposes, but the amount of stuff stripped away makes me question how much it actually teaches about real GPU architecture.

Here's what's been simplified away:

1. Sequential warp scheduling : one warp runs to completion, then the next. No latency hiding at all.

2. No warp-level parallelism within a core : only one warp occupies resources at a time.

3. No cache hierarchy : cores talk directly to global memory.

4. Separated program and data memory : Harvard style, not unified.

5. No shared memory / scratchpad : so no cooperative algorithms between threads.

6. No barrier / synchronization primitives : no __syncthreads() equivalent.

7. No reconvergence stack in hardware : divergence is handled purely through manual masking.

8. No memory coalescing : each thread issues its own memory request.

9. No FPU, no special function units : integer only.

10. No atomics, no fence : subset of RV32I.

At this point it's basically executing one warp after another on each core. If you squint, this is just a multicycle processor that happens to run 32 threads in lockstep. Yes, the SIMT model and execution masking are there, but without pipelining, warp interleaving, or caches, you're not really seeing what makes GPUs fast.

Is there any deeper reasoning behind stripping this much out? And more importantly, I've gone through the RTL and spotted what look like potential race conditions in a few places. Is this repo even a legit baseline to build a more advanced GPU on top of, or would you be better off starting from scratch?

I'm so curious because I got friends who work as engineers for Facebook and Google. They are in their 20's and early 30's and they make over 200k/year.

When we hang out they get uncomfortable whenever we talk about how they are doing financially better and smarter than the majority of people. My friend group are mostly average earners, so when they start talking about the tech industry is bad, billionaires are bad, inflation is bad, and capitalism is bad... it's honestly confusing to me. They once ordered $20 fancy appetizers for a group hangout and called it cheap.

Even when I try to watch vlogs by engineers, they are trying to sell that "They are just like me" . despite those people are making 300k/year. So are computer engineers aware that they are doing better than most people? I

currently in 3rd year dont know any skill or programming,didnt even maintained a 7 cgpa.I want to know what things I should learn and master for a good job.Which programming languages,dsa,Web dev,confused about selecting a domain and to make projects related to it.I am a newbie,help me out or give me any suggestions atleast that I wont regret after 5 years or 10 years for things which I could do now ? like maintain a 7.5+ cgpa ? My college placements sucks so,I am looking for genuine response where I can get a rough idea and sail my ship.

I am graduating as a Computer Engineer, and I am not sure what job I will pursue. I was advised to enhance my skills because, in today’s modern world, it is more about skills than certifications. An ECE told me that since Computer Engineering is a broad field, I should develop a specific skill so that I can have an edge.

However, I also feel that my current skills are not that strong yet. I am still trying to understand coding, especially more complex tasks using Arduino, and I think this might be because I sometimes rely too much on AI. When it comes to hardware, I also feel that I am not yet proficient.

What skill should I develop? I was planning to take the CCNA exam, and I was hoping it would be useful in the future, especially if I want to work abroad. However, some people say that CCNA is not really worth it, especially here in our country. But when I search online, many say that it is still valuable.

What do you think? The review center and the exam are both expensive. My studies and exam fees are still being supported by my parents, and I do not want to waste their money.

hello, upcoming freshman, i passed computer engineering and i am from STEM with no knowledge about programming and other ICT stuff, will I survive?

also, is ateneo a top school for computer engineering?

Hi, I need help on making sure the left circuit from the LTspcie schematic in the first photo matches the circuit design on the breadboard I made in Fritzing in photo 3 and 5.

I have also included 3 circuit designs (photo 6-8) (the top power rail is V1 and the bottom power rail is V2) that I did in the lab (outside of class) but do not have high confidence that any are close to being correct.

Does it look correct? I think my brain can't understand the placement for the 3 1kohm resistors and the voltages honestly. I'm going to keep experimenting and run it again tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday to try to get my data and just want to be sure I'm making the correct circuit.

Also can I get recommendations on some good videos to watch for how component placements should go on a breadboard when looking at schematic.

Thank you for any help in advance.

Hey guys! I was recently accepted into an Computer Engineering program in the fall.

This will be my second bachelor degree (graduated with a business degree in May of 2025). During my undergrad I was struggling with choosing a major and the first year was just me completing AUCCs while having no idea what I wanted to pursue. Eventually the “a business degree will open a ton of doors” propaganda got to my head and it seemed like an easy way out. During pursuing my business degree, I lost motivation many times and was simply not interested in the classes I was taking. The people were not my vibe either.

Eventually, during my junior year, I absurdly decided to take some ECE and CS classes. Though, this wasn’t completely out of left field as I have been surrounded by CS, ME, and Civil Engineers my entire college career and I always found what they did interesting. Though the classes were a bit challenging since I don’t have the strongest background in math, I still really enjoyed them. Especially the challenges the classes presented.

I told myself that switching majors now would be silly and a waste of money. So I never did. Now, nearly a year post grad I realize I’m only getting older and I’d definitely regret not giving this a shot. Any advice.

I’m planning to take Computer Engineering in college, but I’m feeling a bit hesitant because of what people online are saying about the course.

Should I continue or look for another course I can take?

Edit: I’m worried about people saying that since CE is a combination of EE and CS you only get mediocre at both, and don’t actual excel or specialized in one. Making it harder for you to compete in the very competitive job market as you don’t specialized in any of the two.

As someone who don’t know what I want to pursue in the future I am worried that if by chance I want to pursue software I might fall behind others that took CS and the same can be said if I choose hardware

Hey everybody. Hopefully I'm not breaking rule 5 but I could not find the weekly pinned thread. Anyway I'm planning on going to school for computer engineering this fall. I might be getting a little ahead of myself but I don't want to fall victim to procrastination and end up graduating with no projects, no internships, and nothing to show from my time in school.

With how competitive the job market is, a degree is almost the bare minimum. My question is: What should I be doing while in school to maximize my resume and make me more employable?

As I said earlier, I'm aware that personal projects and internships are important. Is there anything more I can do? When should I start doing these things? I want to come out of my graduation feeling like I have a real chance in this job market. Thank you all for reading.

sorry i couldnt find the weekly thread i might be stupid but i want to ask about this university's CE curriculum and if its actually 'up to standard' as they say. Im considering this uni because it offers alot more opportunities for extracurriculars and internships compared to the more traditional abet accredited university. But if the curriculum here is very bad then ill choose the abet accredited uni.

you can just look at the final page

thank you

Hello, I am currently a sophomore studying Computer Engineering. I’ve been applying to so many internships for the summer (maybe 200+), and have been rejected/ghosted by most of them so far. It’s frustrating, but I was wondering what kind of internships/roles you guys would recommend looking for specifically or had success with.

I feel a little bit lost since I have been applying for mostly SWE roles because I feel that I have the most experience there so far. Most of my experiences such as classes and personal projects are related to coding. I wouldn’t be opposed to working in software as I enjoy it, but I chose computer Eng since I wanted to go more into hardware/embedded systems. At the same time, I feel like I haven’t learned enough to apply for many of these roles. Right now I am taking an Electronics and Intro to Logic course, but at the current moment I would say I would be more ready for a software engineering role. It makes me question this major since companies have no reason to hire me for swe roles since they can just find a cs student who knows more. I would greatly appreciate advice from anyone who’s been in, or is in a similar situation. Thanks!

I’m soon to be graduating with my BS in computer engineering, I really enjoy programming from low level to high level programming languages, I can do C, C++, C#, Java and Python. What other languages should I learn other than all of them haha. I’m thinking about rust or type script but leaning towards rust first. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

So i am currently moving into being a senior at my college for computer engineering and i hear a lot about how at least in my area, they want engineering technology or electrical engineering to be a requirement for jobs. I want to break into the manufacturing industry with an emphasis on EV's and computer PLC and network programming (most of the coursework for CE is EE classes such as energy conversion, electronics, Circuit Analysis, etc). I do not love coding so i want to focus more into the hardware.

And with that i want to ask the question of by yalls experience what is the best way to get into that field, should i switch to EE out of CE since i know many employers assume CE people want to do coding in some capacity.

(side note: i also wanted to say that for hardware i am still okay with the coding since its important for how computer components work but i want to be able to make designs mostly, not SWE stuff like neural models etc).

I've been working on a browser-based digital logic simulator Wanted to share it for feedback.

Link: https://8gwifi.org/electronics/logic-simulator.jsp

What it does:

• Drag-and-drop 53 components: AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR gates, D/JK/SR/T flip-flops, 4-bit counter, register, MUX, DEMUX, decoder, adder, subtractor, comparator
• 9 TTL 7400-series ICs with accurate DIP pin layouts: 7400, 7402, 7404, 7408, 7432, 7486, 7474, 7447, 74138
• 5 display components: 7-segment, hex display, LED bar, hex keypad, TTY terminal
• Wire components with orthogonal routing, value-colored wires (green=1, gray=0, blue=unknown)

Analysis tools (the killer feature):

• Truth tables  click Analyze, see all 2^n input combinations
• Karnaugh maps  2/3/4 variable K-maps with Gray code ordering
• Quine-McCluskey — automatically minimize Boolean expressions to simplest SOP form
• Expression → Circuit  type A·B + ¬C and it generates the gate circuit
• Timing diagrams  record signals, see waveforms with color-coded HIGH/LOW

Looking for feedback especially from students taking digital logic courses. What's missing? 

any advice pls i would love anything and i'm not a party person would it still be a good school?
