Ever heard of Electrical and Computer Engineering degree courses, it covers from transistor physics, digital design including HDL, CPU microprocessor, embedded system, operating systems, programming, database web development, mobile applications and machine learning. Heck it also covers Engineering maths fundamentals for your DSP, control systems and wireless systems courses. It's like drinking from fire hose, but it's a very comprehensive, interesting and relevant degree program to be completed in four years duration. Both Lisa Su and Jensen Huang completed their degree in this engineering field.
- ThalesX 2y agoYou go study Computer Engineering and then to get hired for some CRUD work on a legacy system you have to solve a LeetCode Medium and a Hard.
- Almondsetat 2y agoYes, and you go study mechanical engineering and you can end up working on an oil tanker, a Ferrari, a Mars rover or a garage door motor
- ThalesX 2y agoI hope you've brushed up on year 3 curriculum before going to fix that garage door motor so you can answer some random medium / hard questions from Finite Element Analysis in Solid Mechanics or Vehicle Powertrain, Noise and Vibration.
- BoredPositron 2y agoA friend of mine is designing rear view mirrors for Porsche for about 15 years and now he's seen as some sort of rear view mirror expert and he can't find anything else. It's hilarious.

- ImPleadThe5th 2y agoHey me! Ive been doing web services for the last 5 years since I graduated in CE. Now I really want to break back into imbedded and don't know where to begin. Anyone have advice?
- ksec 2y agoI was going to say just that. I think we have this debate for a long time ( at least 25+ years ) unfortunately CS won and CE lost. If only could Computer Engineering course just offer an additional one year materials for all the additional CS stuff. Big Tech also have a preference on CS as well since a lot of them also came from CS background.
