Does the engineering school matter as long as it is abet accredited?

Electrical vs Computer engineering

Between computer science and computer engineering, Which is best?

@@njokuangela1871 hey thanks for the comment. so it all depends on what you want to do. Computer engineers can work as computer science professionals, so my attitude is to steer you there. You less you love love love the programming aspect so much and care very little about the integration of the programming and the computer hardware. CS has 283 ABET accredited programs which means you can still go an engineering route, in a way, if you want. Honestly you can’t go wrong with either. I haven’t made a video on computer science yet. But... Software engineering is a branch of computer science. Here is a video on that, “What Do Software Enginees Do?” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/np9yfM6e2J3Pcn0.html Does that make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? I respond to everything, cheers !

@@JakeVoorhees what are the differences between hardware engineering and mechatronics engineering?

Fresh comment

@@loganfoxx5737 yours is even more fresh

What about us grown men chasing childhood dreams, gibsme love

Aka me hopefully u too

@@alexeliz75 lmao I needed this joke

super duper awesome! what sub-field are you considering at this time? let us know what questions you have next ok? cheers thanks again!

Man, let me tell you, I started my Mechatronics degree 2 years ago, and I'm still just as excited every semester to learn new things as the first.

Is that the United States Air Force academy? So how it was?

great okay yeah we're actually working on something similar right now, thanks!

Oh snap!! Thanks for stopping by. I chopped it though. Lasted like 8 months. Love your videos man

nice to hear the real student feedback about that. What else can we help you with right now? Thanks!

No, I just think CpE don't know literal keywords for CpE jobs. Its not like computer science where you search java dev, software engineer, or literally search computer science.

@@The2Coolest2 haha maybe, thanks for the comment. Anything I can help you with?

Can I be a software developer or software engineer, with a major in computer engineering?

@@adidascamp Of course you can. Computer engineering has two related components: Hardware and software. At some point, you will need to specialize. Hence, the computer engineer may become a software engineer.

I have the same problems man. I'm terrible at calculus, but my love for engineering keeps pushing me. KZfaq is your best friend. There are so many videos and content creators like Jake that help young engineering students

I’m about to be a freshman I’m scared for the math I am not very good at understanding the first time.

I'm computer engineering student

@@Payal_b4u do I need to know coding and programming before hand or do they teach u from scratch ?

@@Chaimaeb446-fx9xu well I am doing diploma and they teaches us programming and coding

Ya? That’s really good. What do you think it is about our videos that help your anxiety? Thanks again!!!!

@@JakeVoorhees Just seeing what I can do with my major gives shape to my goals and dreams. Thank you! n_n

@@KirikomiMoon yupppp you’re going to have a solid future. Let me know what I can help you with next okay? Cheers thanks!!

You’re probably a genius if youre planning to double major with engineering. Most people cant even complete engineering alone

You should probably get CE. As you can learn further down the line on your own, if need be.

Im in school for Mechanical Engineering and Plan to get a second bachelors on Computer engineering. Moreover, a Masters In Material Science and then im done from there.

Just do CE. there's no point in the double major. If you feel like you want to dive deeper into a certain topic, do it for your technical electives are do some projects on your own in free time. You will really learn when you get an internship or job, the technical skills required. In school you'll learn more of the theory.

yeah me neither before doing this reserach, cool right?!?!!?

yeah good call. Career positions are confusing and imo no one should be called an engineer, nor should a position be deemed that unless they truly require a full engineering degree from an ABET engineering school. I will write this video down on the list and get moving on it, thank you!

Thank you! you seem to be in a really good situation and I would say that you are exactly where you need to be to pursue designing audio equipment. Try and figure out what employers hire engineers for this in your area, and conduct informational interviews with them

Yeah watch these, and probably do EE “What Do Electrical Engineers Do?” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLiRqq56m7fXnWQ.html “Jobs for Electrical Engineers over $100,000” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jM9km850yrS7o2Q.html thanks !

I’m stuck in the same boat I’m interest in CE and EE but I want to work in the biomedical field idk what’s the better field for that

@@michaeltrujillojr.3275 yo I’m literally in the same exact boat as you. What did u end up doing?

@@michaeltrujillojr.3275 i also want to go into biomed and I’m also not sure what to choose.

@@JakeVoorhees just was telling my friends who this video help me pick computer engineer as a major I graduated in 2020 I’m now in field thanks again

Yea definitely, especially if you work on your programming skills so you can attack the job market from that angle too

What programming language is used in heads up display

Hey Natasha, great question. Internships are used for two purposes. 1) To provide you another avenue to truly understand if you enjoy and are passionate about a certain career field. You don't get exposed enough to things like automotive, aerospace, biomedical, or any of the other 12ish sub-fields that we discuss in this video, "What do mechanical engineers do", so check that out kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a911p8iJ387YkZ8.html. It is very normal to do various internships in order to know what you like, so its fine to do HVAC then Aerospace then whatever, etc. And, 2) Once you know which direction you want to pursue in your career first, internships can be used to build your momentum towards the career niche that you want. Say you now know you want Aerospace, then you should be building relationships in that field, joining organizations in that field, doing internships there, talking more with those profs, etc.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that. Computer engineering is pretty close to EEE, and EEE mixed with ME and CE is Mechatronics so yes. Make sure you watch these for more info: “What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do?” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ar-af72UtriwlKc.html “Jobs for Mechanical Engineering” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gp9lpJCVm6y7ho0.html “Mechanical VS Electrical Engineering” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLZ6YLyomte6o5c.html “What Do Computer Engineers Do?” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ns98YMaFx-CVaGw.html thanks so much and let me know how I can help you next, cheers!

@ayman thank you !

@ayman Khan thank you

@jake voorhees thank you also :)))

Hey! I’m doing a CE major with a physics minor in my university, which ends up getting me some similar courses that get taught in EE anyways and scratches the physics itch I have. :)

Okay sounds good, thanks for commenting. let us know how else we can help you alright?

I love his computer, robotics, electrical, mechatronics.... dang, actually I love all his videos lol, but I want to see more traffic engineering vids out of him. I don't think civil gets enough attention and Jake specialized in Civil/traffic so I would like to see more of his strengths come out as content.

Haha so would have you picked something different? What type of industry are you trying to do after graduation? Let me know what you are trying to figure out now and I can help you with that, thanks!

Yup here it is kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fq6Zdbd5mdvKiYk.html

its working for me right now and you are the only commenter with an issue so please retry?

C, C++, Java and Python

also, do you have an email i could write to? i have a lot of questions if you don’t mind, i’m very anxious about my future. thank you again!

Congrats! CPE is a great program. I think CPE is a better choice than ME for the future. Unless you hate programming/coding in that case ME will be better. 1. School doesn't matter unless its MIT or Stanford, otherwise all of them are pretty much seen as the same. Engineering is engineering and you will get respect and a high salary no matter what. Computer engineering will be great no matter where you go and yes CPE is a great choice. 2. EE is essentially the same as CPE in school. Its just different courses but EEs and CPEs can work as one another's jobs down the road. 3. Do not go out of state. Save the $$$. Plus ME < CPE. And definitelyyyyyy dont go somewhere that is not accredited, esp for mechanical engineering. No no no :) Let me know what follow up questinos you have. I think you know what you have to do, cheers thanks

Yup hello@jakevoorhees.com thanks looking forward to your email, cheers !

You seem to be a perfect candidate for CPE, which is why its such a cool degree. You can do software engineering, hardware engineering, and you can even end up doing mechatronics engineering which so many students are into nowadays. Here are some more videos to help you, “What Do Electrical Engineers Do?” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLiRqq56m7fXnWQ.html . And this one talks about high paying EE roles: “Jobs for Electrical Engineers over $100,000” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jM9km850yrS7o2Q.html . Also, a lot of electrical engineers wish to work in mechatronics/robotics, so check out this video “What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do?” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ar-af72UtriwlKc.html Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? Cheers!

Your a good looking cry baby ❤

yeah i mean, computer engineering and electrical engineering are so close, they are essentially the same in some ways. EE is better, there are more jobs, more future yeah, you pretty much have the right idea

@@JakeVoorhees Thanks for the feedback / insight.

@@ttown918 you are welcome!! Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? I respond to everything nowadays. Cheers !!

The hardware is the hardware. If you mean material, that will always change. What you should look into is computer and mechatronic engineering physical components and how they are made. So things like 3D printing and modeling with solid works will be good skills

definitely, start here, "What do mechatronics engineers do", kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ar-af72UtriwlKc.html, which is essentially the niche you have to pursue in order to work in robotics k? let me know what questions you have next, thanks!

Hey thanks for the comment and yeah I understand it’s hard to choose. I don’t bunk chemistry is going to help you unless you are going into materials engineering or biotech or environmental. Which it seems you are not. Physics is important, so are calculus related course, and for electronics avenues, programming and computer science and coding type courses. I mean take chemistry just to take hard classes. I forgot this was for high school advice yeah take chemistry. What you gotta do the most is study industries and figure out what’s the best engineering field to major it. Here are the big 3 where you can do anything you like with most of these: “Mechanical Engineering Job Tier List” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nc6oda-Wqr7Df4E.html . “Electrical Engineering Job Tier List” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNhjm6qQ36eclGw.html .

@@JakeVoorhees The form I'm going into (ages 14-15) doesn't have specific classes like calculus unfortunately, unless that might already be a mandatory topic in math but I'll try to self-teach on the topic. So far i watched the Electrical Engineering video you recommended and 3 majors interested me so thanks for the help! Will watch the other two videos soon. I have 2 questions: 1. Would IT and Electronics go hand in hand with each other? IT and Electronics are the only two hardware/software subjects i can pick with so far so just want to know if it's best to do both until 2022 when i can branch off into more specific subjects 2. Which one is more important to be a Computer Hardware or Software Engineer? IT or Electronics? Google didn't really help me with an answer for this question

@@aaliyahc.4700 I know it has been 2 years but just in case someone else finds this: IT is not really related to electronics as much as you think. Eventually you are managing systems of a company like their network, computers, etc. If the network goes down, you fix it. If someone's computer is messing up, you fix it for them. Whereas computer or software engineers support code or hardware DESIGN full time

what the fuck kind of microcontroller is programmed in javascript

C is by far the most prevalent. If you want to really understand them then do a project in assembly.

C/C++ are very prevalent, as is ASM (the exact “flavour” of which will vary). Rust is an emerging language in embedded development but is still quite immature, so you’ll find the most resources in the former three. :)

Hey thanks for the comment. So what within this makes you nervous? And are you talking about a computer engineering course? Does that mean you’re an electrical engineer? Let me know a little more and I’ll see how I can help k? Cheers!!

Being nervous taking any engineering program is completely 100% normal, but it is also so exciting. My advice is, if you still have a love for engineering but you seem to be falling out of computer, try a different field that is similiar. The beauty of engineering is how vast and numerous the fields are. You might end up not coping well with the computer program your school offers, but they might offer another degree close enough to what you wanted and it will work out better. Some degrees that are similar is computer science (programming side) robotics, electronics, electrical, mechatronics. All of these have overlapping classes but are different enough that you might find it better for your tastes. Keep at it

thanks my man :)

really appreciate that! let me know how we can help you next k cheers

@@JakeVoorhees my friend stuck career about Automotive engineering. Can you help my friend? Can you make the video about Automotive engineering? I want to get path of software and hardware in my career. Can you help me?

Yes. Infact it's a major taken in senior year called VLSI design and fabrication. I know this is a late reply. I'm sorry.

Just do electrical engineering trust me thanks

Yes, those are embedded systems. You can also make those with an electrical engineering degree

Hey thanks for the comment. I know this one is confusing as I get this question often. Computer Engineering is actually a subset of Electronics Engineering which is within Electrical Engineering. Electrical Engineering itself is the more broad major. Many programs offer them together as “Electrical & Computer Engineering” and it's not possible to achieve an isolated CPE degree. Electrical Engineering includes things like power, telecommunications, signals & controls, and electronics, and computer engineering. Computer engineering concentrates more on programming and how the hardware and software are made built to work together. On the other hand, Electronic Engineering concentrates more on circuits, loops, communication, wireless connections, etc. Both of these branches will study the same fundamentals but Electrical Engineering tends to focus on power generation and distribution while Computer engineering will specialize in computer systems. In other words, software-controlled hardware and its interconnections. Computer Engineering does more software related work; such as code development. On the other hand, Electronic Engineering does more hardware related work; such as working on a computer modern board, circuits, wiring, and alike.

No need, I believe they teach programming basics as part of your early units.

@@lemcsr I hope you're right, thank you for replying :)

Same question I have

Programming classes are a requirement, so you'll be running into those soon. It wouldn't hurt to learn anything prior, though.

My comment may be too late, but it wouldn't hurt to brush up on some basics, like on what for loops do and basic stuff in Python. If you can get past that, you should be able to learn more of the complicated stuff in college. Gotta learn your tools for the job

Hey thanks for the comment. Ya network engineering is one thing computer engineers can do, among a lot of other stuff.

Computer Engineering and Computer Systems Engineering are both subsets of Electrical/Electronics Engineering. Many universities do not even have computer engineering available. I glanced through the top four engineering schools, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, and CalTech and none of them have computer engineering. They have electrical engineering and computer science together sometimes, which is where you can build a custom “computer engineering-like” major. Computer engineering integrates electronic engineering with computer sciences. Computer engineers design and develop computer systems and other technological devices. Computer systems engineers implement the network architects' designs, and solve the complex problems involved in the day-to-day operations of networks. They frequently test system operations, identify security risks, and research new products or processes that will improve system function. As you can see, the word “systems” is used within the definition of either speciality, so we’re really starting to split hairs here. However, there is computer hardware engineering, which the BLS reports having 71,000 employed engineers in the USA right now which is actually 5th on the list right now (1. Civil 329k, Electrical 328k, Mechanical 316k, Industrial 295k, and then Computer Hardware 71k). These engineers do not focus on the integration of their designs within greater systems. But in the end, I do not think any of this matters. Any electrical engineer or computer engineer can work in so many of the same jobs or roles. The differences simply come down to preferences, such as what companies and roles you want to intern for, what tech electives you take in your 3rd and 4th years, what events and job fairs you focus on, what engineering organizations/societies/clubs you want to be involved in, etc. Does this help and make sense?
