New vid! I’m hyped
Great video, Thanks!
These are the exact points I have been considering while choosing between HW or SW as a major, I have seen first hand how desperate CS majors are during these times trying to find an intern it's quite sad, and the layoffs affecting not only Jr. but Senior SDEs as well isn't assuring. But checking online and the current demand of what is expected to trend and will be needed is still software or at least data scientists, cyber security, cloud related roles from what I can see. I definitely wouldn't encourage anyone going into web design. Hardware is taking off, and with A.I. I see more investments into things like robotics, chips, and vehicles it's making me think a lot. The other option is to become a HW Engineer and work for a SW Company, or become a SW Engineer and work for a HW company. This can also balance out what folks might be looking for, there are definitely more Software opportunities than Hardware last time I checked online and LinkedIn. Still Researching, good video.
I did both electrical and computer engineering 😂 8:30
Its very easy; do what you find most interesting. Thats what youll be best at in the long term
How to become a Hardware Engineer? What degrees & path ? 🤩🖤
study electrical engineering undergrd and concentrate in Computers and Integrated Circuits
Computer engineering is a perfect degree
@@ale4462 would embedded systems be appropriate?
@@thinkingcitizen you’d most likely need a masters degree in EE, or CE
@@_Lumiere_masters in Embedded Systems, maybe.
I'm currently finishing my bachelors in Computer Science, but I'm thinking I want to work closer to the hardware side. Do you think I can transition to Hardware Engineer if I say get a masters in Electrical Engineering or would I need a bachelors instead since a masters is only a smaller time frame & might not cover what a bachelors would?
I enjoy hardware way more but unfortunately pays less.
Hi , thankyou for the info , i am from india , so for getting into hardware engineering which should i take , electronics and communication or electronics and electrical engineering
I am interested in operating systems, device drivers, systems programming. At the same time, I like computer architecture, FPGA programming using High Level Synthesis (HLS). I felt that I didn't like Verilog/VHDL, AI and ML stuff. What kind of companies/jobs should I focus on for a long term career ? (e.g. firmware engineer profile at Hardware engineering company OR systems software profile at Software Company?).
This video was really helpful and since I am interested in Computer Architecture and Systems Software, I am still a bit confused as to what to pick :|
Your perspective will greatly help me. Thanks in advance :)
I think the big hardware companies (Apple, Nvidia, google) will have roles you are looking for. Wouldn’t worry so much about the company, refine your skills, apply to all of them and see what happens
For jobs, software development doesn’t necessarily have an advantage. Yes, they have more job openings but they also have significantly more competition .
If you want can you jump to tesla ? Do you have related job profiles in tesla???
I want to work as a hardware engineer / embedded engineer, but i'm from argentina and the first job is so important, we don't have a good market here for Electrical Engineers (20 open positions for FPGA, DSP, etc engineers) vs 4000 open positions for software engineers :(((
Can you link the sources that you used to make this video
add which has more stress??
How did you learn high level programming languages
Im Interested in doing both Hardware and Software engineering, I personally would like to work as self employed, but I dont know if it's possible working as a freelancer as a hardware engineering because maybe I should be in a laboratory, what do you think about that?
Yes freelance hardware engineering is tough (if possible at all). Lot of startup costs and such, maybe you could be consultant for hw company
Can you please help me with analog design vs digital design ? Which has better future?
I think both are promising, digital design is a bit easier to get into, just depends on what u enjoy!
I'll put more value to someone who writes code that runs the airbag system in my vehicle than someone who writes code for the next "social media" app
What's the difference between computer science major and computer engineering major?
Computer engineering has more low level sw and hardware design coursework
I need guidance man, I’m almost down with my EE degree
Get a masters
Sir,I am from Bangladesh.Currently I am an EEE student, I want to be a Hardware engineer.Which skill is needed ?
Start with pcb board design.
Hey Abhishek, nice vid. I have a bachelor's in computer science, but I recently got interested in hardware. Is it possible to switch to computer engineering and possibly get a masters in computer engineering? If so, how could I prepare?
I think it will be a hard shift, but it should be possible
It will be very hard because you’d need to have a solid electrical/IC background, but it’s possible.
Sir how much do you earn as a hardware engineer? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.
Hiii bro I have confuse which course is better in VLSI domain
should i choose painting or SW engineering ?
Depends a lot on skill and talent like if your a really good artist then go for painting but if your good at coding and computer stuff then SW is the way to go
Can there is a way
Some like bypass college without degree for software
Please reply
Yea you could do a coding bootcamp and self-study, maybe get some internship experience or work at smaller companies before aiming for big tech companies. It’s certainly possible just requires hard work!
@@abishekvenkit thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼
need a thumbnail designer?
yo kind of a random question but what language do you speak / your parents speak?
I think he speaks C++
