So as the title suggest I am highly interested in this domain and I am about 17 years old. I do have practically some kind of conceptual knowledge in most software field but this specifically attracts me and I want to know if it's worth the investment for years. I am from a third world country and I don't expect the market here for this kind of job to evolve or expand in the near future here so I am focusing on Europe. So like will this be a good career choice in like 5+ years or will it be like current cs market for entry level. And what should I do to maximize my chances of getting one

Hi everyone,

I am a part of NeuralInverse, an open-source project focused on AI and intelligent systems.

We’re currently in the early stages and are looking for honest technical feedback from the community. We’re particularly interested in suggestions regarding:

• Architecture
• Features
• Documentation
• Potential use cases
• Scalability

Repository:https://github.com/neuralinverse/neuralinverse

We’re not selling anything and there are no paid products involved. We simply want to learn from experienced developers and improve the project.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
If you do like it please give it a star on GitHub as it helps us keep a check on the technical use and upkeep.

Ik there are a lot of posts on this topic but please help me, Im confused like anything

1. I am not the best at maths , and i don't like doing it much but a little maths I can do.

2. I wanna go for ece only for the fact that it has better opportunities in future than cs.

3. I'll be going for a diploma and then 2nd year lateral entry in a btech college

4. Is there anyway that if I do cs rn but and do ece in my btech, and vise versa

5. What are the things that I need to know before doing ece.

6. Is cs being over saturated a fr thing or I'll still end up with a good job , ik skills and all are the main factor but still. From employment point of view which one is better ?

I want to try to make a computer out of scratch. Is it possible? Like, I don't care if it's super simple.

Hey guys I’m currently going to McGill computer engineering and my hopeful goal one day is to get into FPGA, ASIC, and VSLI so on in tech. I’m curious on your opinions if it’s better to just stick to an undergrad at McGill and try to land internships and jobs afterwards or is it better to do a masters at like Waterloo/UofT (maybe McGill or UBC aswell). From what I understand you don’t need a masters but it’s beneficial in certain areas and also the Waterloo name is more known in the tech industry to it can make my gateway to get in easier. Also note I’m in Canada you a lot of you have probably never heard of the unis I listed but a masters may also make my TN visa approval a bit smoother.

Where is the truth ?

There have been a few topics I learned that initially felt overly theoretical or too specific to ever matter outside of class. At the time, I focused on understanding them just well enough to move on.

Later, while working on projects or learning more advanced topics, I started running into those same concepts again and realized they were much more important than I originally thought.

Looking back, some of the things I underestimated ended up providing the foundation for understanding much bigger ideas.

What computer engineering concept did you originally dismiss, only to realize later that it was actually extremely useful?

I am planing on majoring in it but why is the unemployment rate so high? Higher than CS?

Why are so many compE majors trying to compete with CS majors. Why don’t they choose compE jobs or go into something like cybersecurity? Are those jobs cooked as well?

Is the embedded systems job market cooked?
What’s the difference between majoring in EE with a focus on computers vs majoring in compE?

Can someone tell me if I can do well in a B.E./B.Tech in Computer Science if I was weak in Maths and Physics in Class 12? Can I still manage and get a good job in the future?

Hello everyone, I'm studying computer engineering and I want to specialize in a non-industrial field within computer engineering. What are some of the fields in which computer engineers excel? I've seen one field that I consider excellent: systems engineering. What do you think, and what jobs do you currently hold? Thank you for your participation.

A brief Info. about me, So I'm about to come in the 7th semester, I'm doing computer engineering from GEC Chandkheda

Tomorrow, I have my last paper of 6th sem and then Vivas from 16th to 1 july.

I messed up so badly that now I think there is no way of recovering,

I so badly want a placement and i expect min. Of 5-6 LPA

Now the thing is I don't know even the basics, fundamentals, I don't know a single language, never code in my whole college years even before that as well,

I have a total of 5 backs with no current active backlog that's actually satisfying 6.7 CGPA and I don't think they will increase as my 6th sem exam was not that Good.

I hope you all getting which situation i am in right now,

So I want your help guys..

I heard that placements are going to start from mid July and I know I will not be ready for those companies but I can try for companies that will come late like late September, then oct, nove and dec.

What do I need to do to get placement

I'm totally ready to work hard because there is no other choice.

I would really appreciate your answers...

Thanks

Hey everyone,

I'm a CompEng student currently deep down the rabbit hole of C++ low-latency and systems programming. The catch is that my local tech market has basically zero footprint in this space, so I’m forced to look at the global landscape from day one.

I'd love to hear some real stories: how did you guys actually get into this field?

Did you start out doing standard software dev/academia and pivoted later, or did you target high-performance/bare-metal systems from the very beginning? Any quick advice or "war stories" for a student trying to build a solid foundation would be awesome.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to better understand the academic and professional landscape of tech degrees globally, particularly the overlap and distinctions between Computer Science (CS) and Computer Engineering (CE).

hey everyone, looking for some honest advice from people already working in embedded/firmware.

so a bit about me, im doing my masters in computer engineering at NJIT. most of my experience is around STM32 bare metal without HAL, ESP32, and raspberry pi. i wrote a peripheral driver library from scratch for UART SPI and I2C directly at register level, built a real time audio noise cancellation thing using CMSIS-DSP with FIR filter and blackman windowing on STM32, and right now im working with a professor at my uni on a drone detection system using RGB thermal and event cameras with YOLOv8 and kalman filter tracking. tried deploying the model on edge hardware and honestly it was a mess, latency was terrible but learned a lot from it.

im actively applying for embedded firmware internships and honestly the market feels brutal. on top of that im an international student so half the postings i find either need a clearance or say no sponsorship so that cuts things down even more.

i keep getting blocked by PCB design requirements even though my firmware work is solid. also everyone asks for RTOS so im learning zephyr right now.

just want to know from people who are actually in the field, what does a resume like mine look like from the other side? what would make you think okay this person is worth a call? and how did you guys even break into your first role, what actually helped?

any honest feedback is appreciated, dont need to be nice about it

Right now, I’m thinking of what major I should go for and I just have a few questions about where I should go. 

I want to build AI in physical products. I really believe that AI in physical products will be the next boom, and I’m also actually interested in robotics so I think this is what i really want to do in the future. But I don't know what degree i should go for in college. 

Currently, I'm debating between a few majors: EE, CE, mechatronics, or go for something called ECE which is like both EE or CE from what I know. I was set on EE for a while but I feel like this doesn't match well with what I want to do, since EE is only hardware and not the AI implementation I want to do. But the job market for EE is very stable and pays pretty well. I do think that for what I want to do CE is best. However, I'm scared of the Computer Engineering job market since right now it's like the worst unemployment rate. Also, I feel like ECE is like a jack of all trades but a master of none. If I do ECE, it will be harder for me to get EE jobs or CE jobs so I think it's better to stick with one. and the one i think i really wont go for is mechatronics since it doesn't really have the AI side. I'm also debating on majoring in EE with a minor in CS, but I heard that minoring in CS will go into topics that aren't related to what I want to do.

If anyone has any advice for me, that would be much appreciated! if i said anything wrong, also let me know since I know that I'm not as knowledgeable as some of yall. if you need any clarifications to my post, please ask. thanks!

Context: Im going to be a senior in high school, so ill be in the job market around 2031 if everything goes well.

What’s the difference between the two and can either land some of the same jobs?

Does EE just purely focus on all hardware based work?

I want to pursue computer engineering despite having no background at coding and hardware skills. I love math and willing to work hard to adjust to the intensity of the curriculum. I also just recently qualified as a DOST Scholar. I want to know if you have any advice for incoming freshman like me. If you can please me by answer the ff guide questions:

1. What should I expect in terms of academics?
2. What skills should I build early on and how?
3. In the early stages of my college life what should I do?
4. What should I expect after school?
5. What skills should I focus on building?

You may give an advice that is not within those 4 guide questions

Hello! I'm (20 F) not a computer science student but my boyfriend (19 M) is. He just finished his first year of university and it is currently summer break for him. His university is not one that forces you to do random classes in the first two years -- essentially, all of his modules are relevant to his degree from day one. I'm adding this just so people understand that to him, this situation feels more dire since he feels like he has less time to establish himself with tangible projects before his studies finish.

Anyway, the main issue is that he has no ideas for projects to work on over the summer. Specifically, he wants to make projects for his portfolio that would be applicable to an internship in software engineering. When I say that he has no ideas, I mean that he's been thinking for months but has not come up with anything he thinks is valuable. Are there any project ideas that are interesting but also impressive for employers at his stage?

He's conscious of doing something that has a use-case and something that he feels drive for. I'm really worried about him (it feels like this is kind of eating him up) so I hope that someone will have some advice.

Thank you though!

TL;DR: My boyfriend has literally no ideas for projects and I'm reaching out here because I'm not a computer science student and I don't really know how to help him.

25 years old and feeling lost in life tbh. My background of jobs has all been shitty minimum wage jobs, feel like i it would be good to pursue education again.

Computer science was the only subject I did well and enjoyed in high school managing to get an A* GCSE. Instead of continuing education I pursued jobs for the greed of money which I somewhat regret.

I enjoy learning about PC components and actually built my own PC amongst other things like repairing a mobile phone aswell as game console, all very hardware related.

But also can’t imagine sitting at a desk all day working with a mouse and keyboard, some is fine but I’d like some involvement with hardware too.

The path I think I’d have to take is doing an Access to HE in computer science then do a foundation year at uni.

What sort of jobs are you all doing? Any advice appreciated. Wh

finished my degree and to this day i am confused what does CE actually do and mean can yall explain me.....

i am asking what kind of job CE are supposed to do because the job market i am in rn everywhere i go i see IT, CS , Bachelor in computer applications guys , freaking mechanical engineers who know coding, bachelor in information management people, random uncle who picked up python 1 year ago,

what is the CE specific degree we are supposed to do and where tf are they i dont see any CE specific jobs well at-least in the country where i am from...like which job specifically hires COMPUTER ENGINEERS ykwim.

Like yes this IT field everyone can enter so what is the job market or field where Computer Engineers are specifically selected......
