They probably say the same thing about your circuit design
- dagw 17y agoThe difference being that circuit design isn't part of the CS curriculum and most programmers wouldn't claim to know circuit design.
- stcredzero 17y agoActually, it is covered in some courses like "NAND to Tetris." It should be covered.
- GFischer 17y agoI agree that most wouldn't, but it depends. Over here (Uruguay), if you want to be an IT Engineer, you do have to learn to design circuits (and lots of other stuff like advanced calculus that the state deems required to give you a recognized "Engineer" degree). On the other hand, if you just want to code, you can study some Programming or Information Systems career and never learn advanced calculus or circuit design (I ended up with a degree in Information Systems myself, but I started the Engineering career and took a course on circuit design)
- dagw 17y agoBasically the same here in Sweden, Computer Engineering and Computer Science are two different degrees, and computer engineers have to learn hardware as well as software.
