Computer engineering is the combination of electrical engineering and computer science. Computer engineering majors will take basic circuit analysis classes where they will learn about voltage and current in resistor, capacitor, and inductor circuits.
They will learn the basics of binary and how computers read 1's and 0's. Additionally computer engineers learn about memory, registers, microprocessors, and more of the computer hardware.
Computer engineers will then share many of their classes with computer scientists where they will learn computer programming.
The curriculum will consist of at least learning C and java. C programming can then be applied to programming hardware like robotic vehicles.
After learning different aspects of programming, computer engineers will have an option to take various elective classes that focus on specific aspects of either computer engineering, computer science, or electrical engineering. Computer engineering is a very flexible major because of having experience on both the hardware and software side so you can cater your career path based on your interests.

As a BS Computer Engineering Major going into my 3rd year I can give this advice. The math is hard, but I love it. Do not shy away from ANY Engineering position because you think it is "too hard." If it was easy, everyone would do it. Funny part is...everyone CAN do it. Just apply yourself and work hard. The payoff is huge and the pride you get from self-accomplishment is worth it. Good luck.

For years I’ve always thought I sucked at math but it turns out I had terrible work habits. I would always coast through classes and do stuff last minute and score a great grade. Math was the only class I actually had to work at every single day and lazy me hated that. I’m excited to have picked this major.

I'm a graduating senior in Computer Engineering and the great thing about Computer Engineering is that you fit everywhere in career fairs. Most of the employers who show up have been 40-50% software heavy jobs. Being a Computer Engineer major means you can apply for software and hardware jobs. The only downside to consider is that you are competing with Computer Science majors who specialize in software and vice versa with hardware. One advice for those who are starting out is to make projects. Start small and go big! Also, dont be afraid to be involved in project heavy clubs as they give an insight into what a workplace would be like while giving you some social skills.

You know those critical thinking problems that students always hate in grade school? While computer engineering dives deeper into math, computer science is filled with that critical thinking. You are confronted with tricky situations very often in programming problems. That isn't to say computer engineering will not have these tricky situations, since you need to take computer science classes as a computer engineer and optimization is huge deal in general for engineers, but computer science dedicates its whole entire focus on this.

Man, I watched this video over a year ago before choosing Computer Engineering and now that I watch it again I actually genuinely understand and have experienced what he was talking about in a large portion of the video. How time flies. As for the math, just try to keep up. Project based Calc 1 was relatively easy when compared to Calc 2 (in my experience, probably because I’ve always resented integrals lol) but still workable. The key is to actually like what you’re doing.

I'm starting my last year of Computer Engineering, and for me, I chose my classes in such a way that it's like I'm receiving a full CS degree with a minor in EE. At my school, CE is more like 80% CS and 20% EE. CE is definitely more math intensive than CS because of the EE classes. Although depending on the classes you take, I'd generally say a CE can get any job a CS major can get, but not the other way around.

This is pretty much straight, however for Senior Design, which are the last classes I took for CpE, we weren't technically allowed to use "development boards," e.g. an Arduino, so we simply removed the ATmega that comes on an Arduino, and we flashed firmware onto it using Atmel Studio and a flashing tool that connects to your computer. The experience was both very fun and frustrating.

Some of the concepts I’m truly stumped by which never happened to me during high school maths and sciences. I’m just not good at this shit meanwhile many of my classmates are struggling too but others are just blazing through it. I’m sure I wouldn’t enjoy CE much more either so, I’m sticking to EE. I enjoyed our intro EE and ME courses and found them a fair challenge but still fun to do so I’m continuing in either EE or ME.

CPE is not my first choice. What I love CPE is not about the Hardware, Software or Systems, but because of the dedication of an Engineer to prioritize the safety of other people before their own. We study 2 courses at the same time, they risked too much by practicing to be more precise and accurate in integrating and innovating new technologies that in-line to Computer Field. And I think that's what makes and Computer Engineers job incredible. -If you're an Engineer or other workers! I'm Proud of you ❤

I think many of you are misunderstanding what +MajorPrep is saying regarding the math required in CS. Let me explain, As a CS student. I can confirm that his information is quite accurate. Here's what you need to know. - CS is most definitely a "math heavy" field, it's just that the math you use for the most part isn't traditional calculus. That math is known as "continuous" math. Rather, you use a very logic heavy (rather than process heavy, like continuous math) math known as discrete math. I will provide you an example to clear it up: At my uni (UIC), ECE, ME, CE, and pretty much all other engineering majors take Calc I-III, Diff Eq, Linear Algebra, and Stats along with their physics, Chem courses. On the other hand, CS majors take Calc I-III, then Intro to Advanced Mathematics (basically proofs), Statistics, and then choose between a bunch of discrete math courses such as Number theory, set theory, game theory, combinatorics, Formal Logic, Abstract Linear Algebra, and many more. So if you're not good at math, CS will suck. However, you don't have to be good at Calculus and Trigonometry to succeed, more so the logic and theoretical aspects of math. (Ex: How many prime numbers are there from 1-100, What will var a have to be for (insert series) to converge) - Calc I-III as well as the arbitrary science courses you take are just to prepare you for problem solving, not the actual computer science. - Some light calculus (mostly diff eq and relative rates of growth) is used in courses such as algorithm design, compiler design, and systems programming (especially operating systems) usually to help you figure out which algorithms are more time efficient than others. Note that, as mentioned, it's different at every uni.

You will need to learn how to math eventually if dealing with computers at all. The most important appeal is being able to make things work and to make things work quickly. To make it simple, if you absolutely adore robots, even if you don't intend on working on robots as a career, then computer hardware engineering is definitely the way to go. Once you learn how to work with microcontrollers, ex. Arduino, you gain a lot of options. Microcontrollers are in a lot of things like remote controllers, car switches, vending machines, etc. Once you figure out how to work with printed circuit boards (PCB) and graphical user interfaces (GUI), the things you can do skyrocket, stretching as far as being able to make your own custom Gameboy to an entire computer. The reason I mention robotics is because a club that is very prevalent is the Robotics Club. Becoming a pro in the Robotics Club shows that you have some skills with Computer Vision (camera seeking, facial recognition, shape detection, etc.), microcontrollers (you'll get ROS, Robotics Operating System, experience to get things working), various programming languages (Python, C++, etc. for getting objects to do stuff), and design (ranging from working with wires and solder for PCBs to the architecture of the robot and the physical mechanics of its movement) This is the kind of stuff you want as a computer hardware engineering. On the other hand, as a computer science (programming up the wazoo), since you are getting programming knowledge, you quickly gain enough knowledge to be capable of making things like games. However, you will be refining this into a problem solving machine gun. The fundamental understanding of programming will become transcendental, which is not an exaggeration. More important than learning the stuff is being able to do it easily and clearly. Some of the most impossible puzzles will seem simple as you advance in computer science as you will be dealing with a boatloads of algorithms to optimize your programs. One appeal is that this gives you the opportunity to create video games quite easily. Since video games deals with a metric ton of programming with computer graphics and all the algorithms that allows a game to function, computer science will be much more prepared to tackle this task than a computer engineer. I can't speak much for computer science since I'm majoring in computer engineering, but I applaud them for being able to tackle the crazy things they have to deal with. If you feel like at the end of the line, you only want to be dealing with programming, computer science will give you the opportunity to refine your programming skill to the finest edge possible.

@Darticus42 5 жыл бұрын
Sanket Dhobale Good question! Simply put, computer engineering is at the intersection of software and hardware, computer technology is at the intersection of software and people, and computer science is at the intersection of software and math. CE and CT are both practical (but very different from each other), while CS is theoretical. CS and CE have a lot of math (different kinds of math usually, but that's beside the point) while CT doesn't usually have much at all. Computer technology, information technology, polytechnics (whatever you want to call it) are all mostly the same: an application of basic scientific and engineering principles to technology in strictly real-world situations. While computer technology might be harder to specialize in compared to the other two (such a broad topic), it has more of a diverse focus, including more "soft skills" like design, creativity, and the arts. You could become an expert with computers as a whole by getting a degree in any of CS, CE, or CT. But any one you choose, you'll likely have to pick up other skills outside the classroom if you want to be well-rounded. Generally speaking, CS and CE degrees are sorely lacking in teaching "soft skills", liberal arts and communication, while CT lacks some of the more complex problem solving and critical thinking in its curriculum (less math/programming). For most careers involving computers nowadays, both of these are very important.

Well, not everyone has the opportunity of getting an International General Certificate of Secondary Education. That's quite misleading as IGCSE courses are easily university level. I am by no means surprised that anyone who got an IGCSE has immense fundamental knowledge in any arbitrary degree. I'm almost done with my 3rd year of Computer Hardware Engineering in UCF and I can safely say that's pretty much the case. To be more specific, you are using your knowledge of logic gates to make a particular hardware, such as a multiplexor, decoder, and flip-flop/latch. You then use these newfound pieces of hardware as blocks to understand pieces of hardware you can actually see like CPUs and RAM. This is all done while trying to figure out how to make hardware do what you want by writing software in labs. Essentially piecing together all that was learned into something you can actually use. Going through computer hardware engineering is essentially the pursuit of figuring out how everything is connected: the code, schematics, and electricity. It's already a pretty general degree so if you got a lot of general knowledge overall with your IGCSE, then it should be a cakewalk, at least until where I'm at currently.

Nothing comes easy in life. You gotta put in some actual effort if you want to achieve your dreams because Life will not be spoonfeeding you. My advice is to allocate some time to study the theories that you don't fully understand and try experiment some study methods that could suit your style. Also, don't give yourself a target that isn't unachievable and instead go for baby steps. Let's say your grades are average at C so your target grade is a B and once you achieve that, you go for another higher target. It will take time for you to get better academic wise but it will leave a lot less stress from yourself. Lastly, don't look at others' achievement, instead look at your past history and use that as motivation to do better. Strive to be a better person for yourself, not for others.
