Personally, I only have a BSEE and work in hardware engineering but there's definitely a lot of value in a master's and is required or highly encouraged for IC Design(Digital/Analog). I feel like AI/ML is valuable but I would note coursework in FPGAs as another area of growing demand in the HW space that is especially relevant in AI/ML applications.
Hi Luis! Thanks for your comment. I agree FPGA design course also worth to mention here!
VHDL
Board Design PCB
VLSI
MATLAB
C
Assembler Microassembler Micro Controllers 8051 etc
Arduino
Currently I only lack Board Design and VLSI.
Just doing MATLAB atm.
I have those other 4 from a Diploma I did in Electronics, Practical Engineer/H.n.d 2-years Diploma 17-19 during highschool+1 year then Army service F15E Jet Fighter Avionics Technician in the Airforce 19-~22 then CAD work in AutoCAD. and know some other CADs. +Courses before starting EEE Bsc Engineer degree Electrical & Electronics Engineering and gap year sort of.
Then EEE Studies currently studying, a student now, mid 2nd year out of 4 (spring/2nd semester) 24-28 duration of the degree. Almost 26 =D
Some experience in CAD and labs in the Airforce.
After some student jobs and drafting in CAD AutoCAD and as a desk guard for studying.
Currently seeking a student job part time job as a Practical Engineer or 2nd year student + the Diploma, as the demands of a 2nd to 3rd year student for the job are almost all of them courses with exemptions thanks to the diploma. So could apply as a Practical Engineer too.
I'm interested in ELOP Electrooptics and Chip Architecture Micro Nano Electronics Semiconductor devices and Computers Architecture Hardware Embedded Specialities in the Security and High-tech Industries.
Hopefully mainly Chip Architect and VLSI and PCB, and some photonics for some ELOP and finally SoC for Embedded HW & SW mainly HW.
Would be perfect.. 👍🏼😺
This was awesome. You know that I’m currently looking for a job in the US, and even though I’m a Power engineer, there are many Electrical engineering requirements in job descriptions, mostly for the design. That’s why I’ll take a look at your EE courses video again and maybe take one or two, to add some into my knowledge, since I have studied that during my BA and MA, but didn’t have a chance to use at work.
Hi Asya! How is it going? Let me know on IG :) Which exactly EE skills? Taking some additional courses is definitely a good idea 🙂
I always learn so, so much from you! Thanks for breaking it all down for us!
I am in my last year of B.S Computer Engineering & I am not skilled at coding so this video gave me more ideas on what I can do in the future. I am taking Artificial Intelligence class this semester so I can't wait. Thank you for this video.
Let me know what do you think !
can we chat in instagram I will finish my college next year so I need more information
I think you are beauty with brains🙂
I just wanna say THX
:) :) Thank you
Plz help me
I really do like hardware and have BS in Computer Engineering, but over time I have been getting closer to doing software. I'm planning on getting Masters in Computer Science. I really loved my computer architecture courses and software courses.
Thank you so much for your videos, it's helping me a lot to pursuid this carrear that is a dream for me, you explianed it so well and have really inspired me to find what i would like to do know that i have finished my BSEE in Brazil. Thank you again so much !
Thanks, if I knew this before, my professional career choices would be a lot different 😢
But the good news is that now, the new generations of electrical engineers will have a more clarity about their future, thanks a lot for these videos!
This is a great video! It should be put on repeat at the entrance of any electrical engineering department of every university.
Love your passion in your career and future life. 💞
I am so thankful for all the hardware engineers for all the great work! 🌞 like 19 🌞
I love logic gates, the crazy Boolean functions are so fun . I’m an audio engineer.
thanks for posting
Thank You soo much for the amazing video. I appreciate the time, effort, and hard work you put into it. You're one of the few TH-camrs on this entire website to do such detailed and high-quality videos on computer, electrical, and hardware engineering. It brings me happiness to see your content because you discuss engineering in a way that is clear and straightforward. I am a recent college student looking to get into electrical engineering. If possible, could you do videos and or leave a comment on what tips you have for undergrads on studying, retaining, and applying the advanced math and physics required for the degrees? I want to get better at both of these subjects, but I'm having trouble filling the gaps in my knowledge and staying motivated while doing so. Do you have any advice for this? Once again, Thank You soo much for the videos because it's people like you that bring smiles to many faces and make the world a better place.
Hi Peter! Thank you so much for your kind words! I am happy to hear that! You made my day 😀 I will note your question down for one of my future videos! See you ☀️
Check out Zach Star. He has a lot of very good videos explaining mathematical concepts from an engineering perspective.
Seen just two videos of Anastasi, but it only took a few minutes for me to be quite impressed. Subbed!
@@AnastasiInTech please reply 🙏 I am cse student and want to do masters my interest is in hardware chip design and motherboard design, A.I. which course should I go for and what are the colleges provide this subject and which program
Thanks for sharing such a useful information !
Support for users in programs and computer hardware is the most necessary thing. Almost all programs are written and the most seasoned programmers cannot configure the operating system and do not distinguish current from voltage)))
This was very informative! I have a friend who wants to become a hardware engineer - I'm going to share this with him!
Awesome, thank you!
Nice video Anastasi. Waiting for "How to Become a Hardware verification Engineer".
Thanks
I'm self taught and I have learned all of those topics from quantum mechanics and electrons to electronic components to circuits both analog and digital to logic, integrated circuit and cpu design or ISA design... I didn't start there though, I started off with programming or software design building 3D Graphics Rendering Engines and Physics simulations or Game Engine Design using either Direct X, OpenGL and now Vulkan. I even started to study Hardware Emulator Design which lead me into Assembly and Architecture Design and I also started to research and study Operating System Design and on my todo list is Compiler and Language Design. My preferred language(s) of choice is C/C++ however I a have also started to learn Python when jumping into A.I. programming, Neural Networks and Machine Learning algorithms. Not a single credited class and all of the math behind the scenes I've also learned on my own however I do have some college credits where I did take Calc I and Calc II but all of the other advanced math such as Linear Algebra, Vector Calculus, Analytical Geometry etc... all self studied, and I consider my "Ph.Ds (more than one) worth of knowledge" just a hobby! The only thing about computers or programming that I'm limited on is "network programming" I've done a couple of small mock up C/C++ programs to emulate a server and client side application, but it was specific as it used the winsock library as I only dabbled in it... For me, I like physics and 3D graphics when it comes to programming as well as hardware emulation, but aside from the programming side of things, I also have an interest in CPU Architecture Design. It would be great to have degrees in all of these fields but when you can not afford them... yet it doesn't deter me from continuing my studies in my preferred interests.
Love this. Was hoping this video would point you to online resources or a roadmap to self teach yourself. Whats the point of making a video to basically say: get a loan and to go to college?
wow impressive !
how did you learn? like do you self-teach yourself with books, videos or other things?
@@hamzakourta4509 Just research either through books, online articles and or forums, white papers, videos, etc... whatever I can get my hands on. Some of it I've already known, some of it I pieced together myself, and some of it I learned from others. A good portion of learning is also by doing... hands on, trial and error.
@@skilz8098 nice
@skilz8098 I am actually a digital marketer and running an online business I learned the skills within months and progressed day by day growing my skill set, it's much better than doing a 4 years business degree now am looking to get into software business I won't just hire a team to do this but I would also learn about it and I think it is possible to learn it ( or learn a specific topic within months without any formal edu.) I already learned Python btw, now what are you thoughs how can i learn more about software dev ( building apps- UX/UI ) and how can I learn about designing chips and hardware stuff within let's say a year
Wow girl u just talked exactly what i need it ,uff perfect .in future i will know better how to complete my proyects great ones but still need this knowleage to make it very well
Great information! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great breakdown dear! Really informative, you could get all the dataa you needed just by listening! Thanks for sharing! ❤
Thank you so much! 😀
@@AnastasiInTech Much welcome! ❤
I studied and worked in Civil Engineering several years but now I want to change to computer engineering. Looking for a technology in electronics engineering, and later a MSc in CS.
Very informative video. All the best to everyone who is looking to be a hardware engineer.
Thank you !
Great Video!
Happy to hear :)
Love from India ❤️
You have just laid out pure gold here..for free that many university should include it.. Big Thank You.
Thank you :) Happy to hear
i was searching about hardware engineering in google and it suggested your video
i could understand but i had to watch it over and over to understand (english is my second language). subtitles would help me alot .so if you could plase add it. After watching couple of your videos i think i have an answer for what i searched for.
Thank you.
Just subbed Ana, I'm an EEE student in my second year I want to be a hardware engineer. I will surely make it there. God willing. I want to know if EEE is enough for my journey, or I should learn some skill and courses like PCB from Udemy. Thank you. Peace out! while watching this i can see your other video saying, "why you should not become one...Hey..what's the problem..lol"
amazing video
Thank u..Thank u Very Much
You are welcome :)
Hi , Are there any differences between Hardware eng. and hardware design eng. ? I think hardware design is different because in this area you generally design circuit schematic and build PCBs so It is related to EEE . What do you think ? Sorry If I said something wrong
Very interesting video!
Glad you enjoyed it
love from India🇮🇳
I need recommended courses about: Verilog, System Verilog, Unix Environment. Please, consider a video about it!
Hello, I would like to ask a few questions, I am at high school right now, I I would like to be a hardware engineer. 1.Which course should I study for B.S? 2.Is it necessary to continue to study M.S? 3.What subject should I be focused on? 4. Question do I need to study comp.laguages and which one ? Thank you very much.
Muito fofa! E ainda me deu conselhos ótimos pro meu crescimento profissional... muito obrigado! ❤🚀
Hello, I am from the future. You were right about AI
Hello Anastasi, I have a idea of a project and it involves a commercial drone, gpu with it's digital processor replaced with a analog mythic processor and only the analog necessaries and hdmi controls to go with it. Could you make this work?
Hello! Right now I need to interview someone as a Computer Hardware Engineer and has that type of job too. This is a major assignment and it is also through a recorded call. Thanks!
Hi! I didn't really get your question ...
@@AnastasiInTech Basically I have an assignment from school. That assignment is to interview a job that I would like to have in the future. The job I would like to have in the future is to be a Computer Hardware Engineer. So basically I am asking your permission to interview you. Thanks for replying btw!
I love building Computer and working with laptops and other electronic gadgets. Basically I disassemble the available gadgets at my home and do some R&D by myself. And I also have some interest in networking.
However, I wanted to ask what kind of degree is best suited for this category of work??
Otherwise, your video is awesome and most of my queries are cleared.
Hi Veer! Thank you! :) In my opinion, Computer Engineering degree fits the best to your description.
@@AnastasiInTech Thank you
Can you please tell what and all need to know in electronics except coding become Hardware engineer.
Hello, I completed my Bachelors in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Now I am applying for Masters in Computer Engineering. Will I be able to work as a Hardware Engineer. I love working with ICs, SOCs and Processors.
Thank You.....
Hey.. Thank you so much for such a great video.. I really liked it.. As i am currently studying Electronic and instrumentation engineering.. And I'm so interested in hardware.. Ur video helped me thank you.. If possible can uhh prefer some hardware company's who requires the freshers
Hi! Thank you! Happy to hear. You may consider applying to all large companies like Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, Infineon, Bosch, ST, NXP... Also, It depends on your location.
@@AnastasiInTech thank you so much ✌✌
I like your channel 😻
Happy to hear that it is helpful for you !
how do u manage the eye strains due to long working hours in computers
Today is my first day as rtl design engineer and i got recommend this🎉
Wow congratulations :) All the best !!
@@AnastasiInTech Thank you Anastasi
can you tell me what is the important lprogramming language to become a software engineer ?
Thanks for doing my job so I can game all day long...because honestly: I don't need that much money.
Hi Anastasia, so I understood a bit of this video thanks again for recommending. I now understand that when I finish highschool, I'll go for a BS degree in computer engineering, and I'll take the additional 2 years and go for a masters degree in electrical engineering, but my new questions are how do I figure out what to specialize in HW engineering? Whats the difference between processor design analog design and all of that stuff? Or should I not worry about that stuff right now because I havent entered university yet? Will it just come by later on?
While I don't have a solid answer, I am a senior computer engineering undergrad and I'm still trying to figure out which fields most interest me. I would think the sooner you decide the better, so you don't waste time on less relevant classes or projects, but also realize you could potentially change your mind down the road. I know you didn't ask but I would recommend when you start university don't just go for generals first, dive into your major classes as soon as you can so that you can start to get a taste of the various subtopics and fields within the hardware field.
(I am not Anastasia but I am an experienced engineer) It doesn't really matter which specialisation you chose during the master. I went for microelectronics and never designed a chip in my 14y career. I worked on firmware, PCB design, washing machines and now I am enrolled in a PhD about wireless communications. Your passion and understanding is your only limit. However, if you want to do chip design try to make your thesis with a professor that works in this field. Chip design is kind of a closed circle, so doing your thesis in this field will help you to join the club. For other kind of jobs, just get your basics (Calculus, algebra, circuit theory, signal theory, ecc...) right and you are good to go.
The main thing you need to be successful at software engineering is an unusually high tolerance to aggravation. For a HW engineer, you must have a high tolerance of software engineers.
Hhhhhhhh
does hardware engineer have a relation with drones ? or is it something else ?
Can a pure science graduate become a hardware engineer? I am planning to do a B.Sc (3 years) and an M.Sc (2 years) in Physics.
you forgot assembly language and c/c++, my respects, madam
hello i have a doubt if i am specialising processor design should i take electrical or computer engineering and anything else?
It depends on which kind of job you would like to do, both are involved. If you would like to work on processor architectures, go for Computer Engineering.
I always wonder in the "EE degreee thing" i mean does it mean any EE degree like even control systems or electrical power engineering?
Im deciding between software vs hardware engineer. I like both! I need help deciding, I don’t wanna choose lol. I’ve heard of embedded software engineer is mixture?
Embedded Software Engineer doesn't really design the hardware they work with, but because they work so close to the hardware any knowledge of that subject is a must
Hi I am from India and I am planning to do B.Tech in Electronics and communication engineering. Can I become a hardware engineer after studying ECE????
Hi anastasia, I was wondering I was a mechanical engineering and want to transition my self to entry level for Hardware Engineer. Btw I do some courses for microelectronic design and self study alot too. Whats your opinion to get hire from company to stand out from other candidate?
Man u are an engineer. Do projects and u will be hired. Dont panic
May I ask how old are you Anastasia? And how you got your first job into the field ? because it seems that you need to have parallel study to get qualifications to apply for the job. So how long did it all take? Your field career choices when you knew you wanted to be a hw eng and the master's entrance as well as the first job that you got.
I suggest you not to try it too much on hardware side . The competition between companies is high but being so little companies the payment isn ot that great as in a consulting or bigtech company.
HELLO. By chance... does anyone know books to learn computer hardware engineering?
Java ad C for embedded design engineers.
On a scale from 1-10 how important is calculus 2 & 3
I am on that path. Shit load of math courses
Do electronics and communication degree help
Too pretty for a hardware engineer ❤️
do you know maybe if there is good course on Fpga
What is needed is user support. But where do you get software tools for deep customization? You cannot get through to technical support. Windows is a scary thing! Processes close by themselves and do not understand what to do.
😀 I didn't get it ...
What about chemical engineers ?. Can chemical engineer study computer egineering master degree?😢😢
Thnak you sweetie
book u refer to become a hardware eng...
Do you have linkedin page?
Hi I am a recent High school graduate, pursuing Electronics and Computer Engineering soon, are there good Textbooks that helped you study or stay updated?

Thanks for the video! Did you studied master of engineering degree or master of science degree?
Master of Engineering
@@AnastasiInTech Thank you for reply!
Which is best in hardware engineer
Diploma or bachelor
Please 🙏🥺🥺
Answer me
Thanks for the info do you have some online classes i could take?? 🙂🙂
Hi Colen! Please check out my video about coursera classes 😁
@@AnastasiInTech ohh ok.
Thank you.
I'm graduate of CPE and i'm more interested on chip designs but can't afford to go for a masters degree.
Any suggestion that might help me.
Thank you 😁😁😁
@@kojiro8625 What is CPE?
@@AnastasiInTech Computer Engineer maam.
Pls tell me did we need to learn programming languages coz I think hardware engineers doens't need coding??
Hi! You don’t need coding for every position in hardware, it strongly depends on the field … If you would like to work as a chip designer or embedded system engineer, you do need to know a couple of programming languages. Check out this video th-cam.com/video/Ov1_FRso1gE/w-d-xo.html
@@AnastasiInTech tysm❤️
That was great. To be honest I got little confused at the last few weeks because I am going to join university in several weeks and I didn't decided yet what will I study for the next 4 years ??? I was comparing between computer engineering, software engineering and Electrical engineering. I believe that software engineering can be learned by online courses only without needing to study it in college but computer and electrical engineering is not.
Hi Joe! What to study depends on your interests. Do you have an idea which products or devices you would like to develop in future? If you are not sure yet, you may consider going for something broad like Computer Engineering. Then you will get both SW and HW skills. You can find out on the way what you enjoy the most. It is pretty easy to switch from CE to Software Development afterwords.
ياسطا مافيش تعليم في مصر في الاتنين
For me , my interest is about how softwares communicate with hardwares.
Maybe it's system engineering they called ?I dun know but i want to know more about that gap between hardware and software.😊
Not sure, maybe something like Computer System Engineering 🙂www.ppmhcharterschool.org/ourpages/auto/2012/10/23/42674192/Chapter%202%20How%20Hardware%20and%20Software%20Work%20Together.pdf
it may sound funny, but i have Phd in computer graphics, for some reason i have this idea of starting company that make GPUs. how do i start tho ? any insights ?
I think if you have PhD and you are professional and skilled in this field, you can easy starting a company
what about someone has skills and no educational degree?
is he still able to get a job?
Yes probably if you do an apprenticeship, or if in your interview you can show your skills
On the chart u showed it is actually the second highest petroleum engineering is the highest
I find it very ironic, that the engineers working to make AI possible will be the very same engineers AI will replace.
Thank you so much for making videos on hardware engineering. I had been so confused between software and hardware. Seeing you highlight hardware engineering was so important for me to choose the right career. I love your channel. Please keep making more videos on hardware engineering. I love digital too.
Hi Anuja! Thank you ! I am very happy to hear it ☺️Best luck with your career! See you 😄
Do you think it is possible for a student of software engineering to be a hardware engineer?
It is possible but hard. You could consider going for a MS degree if you are passionate about HW ..
@@AnastasiInTech I'm in a similar situation (CS degree with possible interest in moving to hardware), which masters would you recommend?
Hardware Engineer is not same as Computer Engineer? Plus Can Computer Engineer closer as Photonic Engineer or Hologram Engineer?
hey found out your channel I wanted to pursue a master's in computer engineering I am currently in my final year of engineering of electronics and communication, which country would you recommend for a master's and job opportunity in hardware engineering?
Hi! You may consider Germany. There are many Master's programs and education is free. There are many job openings as well, regarding that check out my video "Silicon Valley in Europe".

just wanted to build midi interfaces, :........)
Ever since I was a little kid I've always been obsessed with computers and now that I'm willing to learn more then just computers after discovering other technology's, I think I found my perfect career. Thank you gorgeous for making my day!
i can't for the degree :-(
Where are you from??
I have a bachelor in electrical engineering and i took courses in vhdl , verilog and system verilog and studied alot in digital design and physical design topics and its really hard to find a job in the field so i would like to contact you for some advice thanks
Where are you located?
@@AnastasiInTech Egypt
@@AnastasiInTech Can i contact you for advice on how to find a job in the field ? and how to contact you ?
I will complete my btech in electrical engineering in 2023 then I will prepare for 'gate examination and take admission in top colleges in INDIA then I will pursue masters then I will look for job like this. Is this roadmap good or should i take a job before masters?
Consider making an internship during your Bachelors study and during Masters too.
Please help me should i learn python or c?
she said python in the video. 4:10
what about ECE bachelor degree
Yes! Elektronik and Computer engineering for sure worth mentioning here. However, It is not widely offered by universities.
so pretty
We need a video that covers the topic of how to become your husband.
I am looking forward to it.
I think part of the reason why hardware engineering still requires degrees is that there is almost no freely available education. On top of that often times you need to buy actual hardware.
Hopefully these things will change in the future. Open source is slowly catching on in hardware too. Maybe in a few years from now you can actually become a self taught hardware engineer.
true. it does not have its own course. I been interested in hardware for years i didn't know what program to take. I choose computer engineering which includes everything combined. Like i like hardware but I struggle with coding and electrical engineering. What makes it worse is that my instructors are so hard to understand and most of them don't teach step by step and they just go straight to the answers without teaching us how to get there then they expect us to answer the next question without guiding us properly.
Mam can you please change the caption to English 😢😓
Mam does a CSE student can be a hardware engineer?
Yes of course
