I love both equally, i would be too bored to only code so i chose computer engineering which in my opinion is the best major since it has both comp science and electrical engineering concepts
@@bedonasser7472 It takes up most of my time. I go to uni for software so I have to use my free time to learn hardware engineering online. And some parts are hard but I eventually get through them. I should’ve done it the other way around because I probably won’t get a job in hardware by being self taught but it’s doable in software.
@@ahopefiend1867 I rather a job in hardware now but I study computer science at uni. So I messed up because even tho I self learn hardware engineering, they are more strict with degrees.
I have a master's degree in Electronics... However I am a deep software guy and i realized that while doing my project in my master's degree when i had to create an app that went along side with my electronics. Today I have learned Data Structures, Machine learning, Website/App Development and as an added benefit I know electronics as well. While working as a hardware engineer i needed to know a lot of physical calculations to estimate SNR, Gains, Amplification..... While working as a software engineer I needed to use a lot of logic and flowcharts. I feel software can get very brainstormy but as a hardware engineer you just need to be good in physics. Plus i felt more like a scientist working as a hardware engineer.
Thank you your video have made me feel more comfortable of my decision to go with EE while most ppl around me study CS because of the same reason about the other work i might be able to do rather than sitting all day in front of a computer screen.
Im currently in college wanted to do Cyber security but after year or two I realized this isnt what I want and struggling to either continue through this or switch. But this video did help me decide more towards hardware
Thank you so much bro❤ I'm a high school science student in the Gambia and I have a passion for hardware engineering, this video is really helpful for me 😊
I prefer hardware too but I do want a job right out of college so I can apply for a software remote job and then always transfer my job to hardware later on because I’m gonna study general computer engineering so I’ll learn both software and hardware
Embedded / IoT be paying kinda well yknow. To give yourself an edge try to take some form of hardware security / cryptography module if available. If I move from a Bachelor to a masters EEE at my uni 4th year offers information theory and cryptography. I’ll definitely consider taking it.
I started as a web dev I realized I also have a bit more love for hardware now doing my masters in software engineering with a specialization in robotics / embedded cause I want to become a software engineer that works on these specific things as you have to deal with the hardware
In my own view, both have an important roll in their respective areas. But I had to decide which one is the best I would say that: it is easier to study a hardware career and then try to learn some software skills (and also beacuse there aren´t any like an industry. I love mechatronic engineering, industrial processes and automation, is amazing!) than study a software career and then try to learn a little bit of hardware: electric and electronic circuits, use of measurement devices, etc. That is my personal opinion,
I'm a STEM student and i prefer handy things too cuz i believe I'm good at it. I'm happy if something I'm trying to fix physically ends up well. I know it'll be a hustle but you're right it's actually more fun. would u recommend me the Hardware one? cuz i think it's what I'm going to take.
I wanna both because it can be more Interesting that I can make Everything I want such as Making Rocket with trust vectoring control and how it'll react in the various condition
There’s no machine that designs chips and circuits. There’s AI that writes code now, that’s why there are massive layoffs in the software industry now, one senior software engineer can do the work of 50 programmers. On the flip side, there’s an ever increasing demand for hardware Engineers.
@@dekev7503 The actual chips themselves are manufactured by machines, you really think a person can hand manufacture 10 billion transistors on a chip? In software, everything is done by the engineers.
@@McFlashh You CLEARLY know absolutely nothing about chip design. The actual physical chips have been manufactured by Machines for the past 50 years. Who do you think designs them? Or do you think that the machines can come up with the designs on their own? Even the most advanced AI tools today Cannot design a chip from scratch, despite decades of trials (and by design, I don’t mean regurgitating some older designs from the internet like what chatGTP does)
I've always wanted to be a software engineer because i wanted to make my own web/app that could make money passively. but i don't think that i could do that yet because i'm going to study electronics and instruments in uni. Would it still be possible for me to make a web/app eventhough i'm just using the internet as my main source? Then i could use my skill in electronics and instruments somewhere else. If you have the time would you please answer my question, thanks 👌
of course you can ! TH-cam is your best friend for this - there is defo a tutorial somewhere on making an app in your favourite porgramming language. Good luck !
What about firmware? What about microcoding? What about limpware? What about Gatesware (thousands of bugs held together by a few lines of code)? Do you use Petri Nets to design both hardware and software?
I'm just a new at IT field and now I'm studying both of them but when the time that make a decision to choose is arrived, I don't know what should I do. The only thing thing I know is I don't wanna spend my times on the table by coding and I wanna be more fun. I don't care about money. So what should I do, Sir.
The thing is you will do some coding in both roles. But the hardware engineer will always code less. So I think it's clear for you if you don't wanna sit in front of a desk all day.
Software is intellectually rich, problem solving oriented where prerequisite is only syntax BUT Hardware requires procedures and more theory to be used repeatedly... What's your views... I have to choose bw ece and cse in next 4-5 days... great if you make more videos on this topic... and how to maximize our scope even if I choose ece
Of course ! The hardware world has less resources out there than web dev on the interent so you need to be a little more diligent however more than doable.
i prefer hardware engineering the most. software and electrical I tend to struggle. or maybe I should say I like working with computer components the most
take the electronics branch. it has both hardware and software. and best thing when you will everything from scratch you will automatically like programming (lower level)
i think i should go with hardware cuz i like computers and electronics in general its not like i dont like coding but things like web development , app development never interest me.
Ya, that’s the reason I dont want a career in office work. All the joy I get in life comes from video games and I think that looking at a screen at work all day, and then coming home to look at another screen all night would ruin the magic I see in video games.
Hardware, admittedly bias and I am also retired since 2019. Find its a mixed bag and luck and who you know can play a lot into it from own experience, one's own mileage may vary.. Personally prefer hands on. Cheers!
"handyman skills" that's mighty disrespectful on god - hardware guy Also just side note its 100% a joke cause a buddy in the trades said its disrespectful to call any of them "a handyman"
In conclusion from this explanation, taking EE is a bad decision compared to CS/SE. If software makes you millionaire than go for it and do fun afterwards..What's your opinion?
Software is like the 100% money route. If you wanna have more fun along your engineering career and sacrifice a bit of salary then hardware is great. You will still get a great salary - just not the best one.
You dont need to study software because of the money there is also other engineering degrees you can take that can give you a lot of money too if not engineering maybe finance/accounting is more your thing if you are interested in money
@@sublivion5024 I've done both and I disagree. It starts from the very concept that EEs take math/physics courses which are usually tougher and dealing with real-world physics is much more painful than for example coding for a bank/twitter/facebook etc... Imagine pushing electromagnetics to such a deep level one might start hallucinating. Last but not least, EEs can go for software eng jobs, the opposite is false however.
@@flavioalegrettiramos567 ha yeah sorry that was me a year ago… i think it depends what you’re doing, like both have boring and more creative areas. the EE degree is probably more challenging for most people, i do maths and computer science (50/50) and find the maths much more intensive.
Software makes more money but without the Hardware Engineering they have no job beucase they won’t have the components to make the computer they work on ; the only reason why salary is so low is because they are outsourcing them but now their is a demand for them so they are going to be needed in places like the USA that just made the chip act because they fell behind on that industry and is planning on growing its industry.

It was way too hard of a choice for me. So now I spend most of my time studying both.
Is it still hard ?...how much time u spend in one of the two?

hardware > software - it’s more fun :)
That's the problem with software. It can trick you into thinking that you're intellectual while in reality, it has little to do with actual science.
Procedures and theories that you'll barely understand even afer using them for years
damn, im already stressing in high school
Yeah chill out bro
anyone who can help me my laptop screen just turned pink what might be the issue?
Hardware is really hard, but very satisfying, as we are not money-making machines; we are making machines.
is it okay to go from full stack web dev to bet Hardware ( Engineering) ?
Of course ! The hardware world has less resources out there than web dev on the interent so you need to be a little more diligent however more than doable.

I am the same. Web dev is boring as hell.
But coding isn't just web dev... A firmware/OS developer still falls under software and it's a job that's close to the hardware.
@@michalsvihla1403 yea you are right and i do have interest in such stuff but i dont like the completely software side of cs
