@@njokuangela1871 hey thanks for the comment. so it all depends on what you want to do. Computer engineers can work as computer science professionals, so my attitude is to steer you there. You less you love love love the programming aspect so much and care very little about the integration of the programming and the computer hardware. CS has 283 ABET accredited programs which means you can still go an engineering route, in a way, if you want. Honestly you can’t go wrong with either. I haven’t made a video on computer science yet. But... Software engineering is a branch of computer science. Here is a video on that, “What Do Software Enginees Do?” th-cam.com/video/h9BIkms7kBI/w-d-xo.html Does that make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? I respond to everything, cheers !
I am actually very thankful for this video. Cleared up a lot of questions I had about the Computer Engineering field and cleared my doubts of going back to college to get this degree. There is so much potential and growth in this field. Thanks so much Jake
@@modisaneunity4534 oh boy! do I have an update for you! I ended up getting into the Computer Engineering major. I basically started from scratch since my previous degree is in Music Performance. I tried getting into the master's program since I already had a bachelors, but I needed so many classes that it was basically like doing the bachelor for Computer Engineering. I am almost done with this new degree too. I am almost at senior year and will be finishing by October 2025. I would have preferred Software Engineering but my University doesn't offer that major. Computer Engineering in my uni has a veeery big chunk of Electrical Engineering courses, not that I didn't like it (Electrical Engineering) but it is certainly not 100% for me . However, I do appreciate and understand the value of the EE courses in Computer Engineering. One of my most pressing issues was that I was going to feel out of place because I am a few years older than most students and that I was going to have a hard time learning and studying since I come from a totally different major. It took some serious hard work while also working full-time outside of school, but it is definitely worth it. Engineering ended up being the major for me and it truly makes me feel accomplished how far I've come and how much I have been to learn and even reach the Dean's list and honor program through my whole major. I even met my current best friend by taking classes together. I am just a few months away from starting my Capstone project (which I am thankfully going to do with my best friend) and am also preparing myself to apply for Grad School too, still deciding if I should do a Master's or a special PhD program in engineering that lets me go straight from my bachelors to the PhD. Thanks again to Jake for this amazing video and how much he was able to help me with my decision. Hope my experience helps others too! I did a complete 180 and was totally worth it. It was incredibly scary but I promise you it is so gratifying and incredibly worth your time and sacrifice.
No, I just think CpE don't know literal keywords for CpE jobs. Its not like computer science where you search java dev, software engineer, or literally search computer science.
@@adidascamp Of course you can. Computer engineering has two related components: Hardware and software. At some point, you will need to specialize. Hence, the computer engineer may become a software engineer.
Hope Jake reads this, I've been thinking a lot about getting a double major in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I know I could take Computer Engineering as my major. However, here are some of the reasons why I would be interested in a double major. 1. I want to study both fields at a deeper level and not just take a couple of extra classes like in a minor. For example, understand those concepts that a Computer Scientist would not study and those that an Electrical Engineer would not study in a Computer Science major. 2. Increase my chances of finding a job and being more competitive. I know that Electrical Engineering is flexible and could apply to jobs that a Computer Scientist could not. 3. Avoid being unemployed. In the future, if I were not able to find a job in Electrical Engineering, I would have the option of finding a job in Computer Science and so on. 4. Build a second source of income. I would not only want to depend on a source of income that comes only from my degree, but I would like to have at least two sources of income. 5. Experience the best of both worlds, and if possible in the future, be able to study two masters. I know that when one studies a double major, it takes more time and money. However, I would care more about job security, and I think the best way is to have two bachelor's. In this scenario, what would be the most advisable thing to do, to study Computer Engineering or a double major in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science? Please, can someone advise me? I feel lost
Im in school for Mechanical Engineering and Plan to get a second bachelors on Computer engineering. Moreover, a Masters In Material Science and then im done from there.
Just do CE. there's no point in the double major. If you feel like you want to dive deeper into a certain topic, do it for your technical electives are do some projects on your own in free time. You will really learn when you get an internship or job, the technical skills required. In school you'll learn more of the theory.
I have the same problems man. I'm terrible at calculus, but my love for engineering keeps pushing me. TH-cam is your best friend. There are so many videos and content creators like Jake that help young engineering students
Another great video! Now i must decide between Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering. I enjoy solving and analyzing circuits, coding is something I am also interested in and the power grid/utility. I need to decide after this coming spring semester for transfer reasons. Thanks!
Yeah watch these, and probably do EE “What Do Electrical Engineers Do?” th-cam.com/video/zRawKI6Qsm0/w-d-xo.html “Jobs for Electrical Engineers over $100,000” th-cam.com/video/Vi4hkCeNWs0/w-d-xo.html thanks !
Loved this video. Can you do one to differentiate between Information Systems degrees and CS/CE degrees? I'm not an engineer. I have a business degree with an emphasis is information systems (MIS/BIS back in the day). I feel like employers frequently confuse titles by throwing "engineer" in there for say a systems administrator or analyst position. I hate this. I'm very careful to entertain "engineer" positions because the field and credential deserve some respect, and where it seems employers are all to willing to treat it like a prestige moniker. Administrators don't typically "graduate" to engineer based on seniority.
yeah good call. Career positions are confusing and imo no one should be called an engineer, nor should a position be deemed that unless they truly require a full engineering degree from an ABET engineering school. I will write this video down on the list and get moving on it, thank you!
I have a Bachelors in CS and never took Circuit classes. I don’t even know RTOS or Embedded Sys programming. Thinking of getting another Bachelors (for fun and hopefully for work) in Computer Engineering. Also torn between EE vs CpE. But I’m more into Circuits and Computers than Wireless and Communications Engineering. Making antennas can be fun though.
Jake, Would love a Video on all about internships and does the type of Engineering Internship affect your career like Can you switch from HVAC to Aerospace engineering
Hey Natasha, great question. Internships are used for two purposes. 1) To provide you another avenue to truly understand if you enjoy and are passionate about a certain career field. You don't get exposed enough to things like automotive, aerospace, biomedical, or any of the other 12ish sub-fields that we discuss in this video, "What do mechanical engineers do", so check that out th-cam.com/video/5wEteXzhtak/w-d-xo.html. It is very normal to do various internships in order to know what you like, so its fine to do HVAC then Aerospace then whatever, etc. And, 2) Once you know which direction you want to pursue in your career first, internships can be used to build your momentum towards the career niche that you want. Say you now know you want Aerospace, then you should be building relationships in that field, joining organizations in that field, doing internships there, talking more with those profs, etc.
i was trying to decide between cs ee and computer engineering and i clicked on this video... Thank you because I couldn't put into words what exactly i wanted to do and now im confident that I want to be a computer engineer...justi n time for college apps this year😭
@4:45 you kind of are misinforming any potential EE/CE , the alternative isn’t mechanical engineering at all. VLSI and circuit design is far from something an ME encounters. I’m a freshman and used this video as a reference but it’s somewhat misleading
I love his computer, robotics, electrical, mechatronics.... dang, actually I love all his videos lol, but I want to see more traffic engineering vids out of him. I don't think civil gets enough attention and Jake specialized in Civil/traffic so I would like to see more of his strengths come out as content.
It seems like unless one wants to go hardcore computer science, taking an electrical engineering path with some supplemental programming classes might be a better, more versatile degree than computer engineering. As I recall, you commented in a live feed that computer engineering was a bit in decline.
yeah i mean, computer engineering and electrical engineering are so close, they are essentially the same in some ways. EE is better, there are more jobs, more future yeah, you pretty much have the right idea
Yeah mechanical engineering videos are some of our most popular videos. Here is "What Do Mechanical Engineers Do?" th-cam.com/video/5wEteXzhtak/w-d-xo.html and "Jobs for Mechanical Engineers", th-cam.com/video/L95q-d6FWVY/w-d-xo.html. Thanks so much! Let me know how to help you next okay? Cheers!
Computer Engineering and Computer Systems Engineering are both subsets of Electrical/Electronics Engineering. Many universities do not even have computer engineering available. I glanced through the top four engineering schools, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, and CalTech and none of them have computer engineering. They have electrical engineering and computer science together sometimes, which is where you can build a custom “computer engineering-like” major. Computer engineering integrates electronic engineering with computer sciences. Computer engineers design and develop computer systems and other technological devices. Computer systems engineers implement the network architects' designs, and solve the complex problems involved in the day-to-day operations of networks. They frequently test system operations, identify security risks, and research new products or processes that will improve system function. As you can see, the word “systems” is used within the definition of either speciality, so we’re really starting to split hairs here. However, there is computer hardware engineering, which the BLS reports having 71,000 employed engineers in the USA right now which is actually 5th on the list right now (1. Civil 329k, Electrical 328k, Mechanical 316k, Industrial 295k, and then Computer Hardware 71k). These engineers do not focus on the integration of their designs within greater systems. But in the end, I do not think any of this matters. Any electrical engineer or computer engineer can work in so many of the same jobs or roles. The differences simply come down to preferences, such as what companies and roles you want to intern for, what tech electives you take in your 3rd and 4th years, what events and job fairs you focus on, what engineering organizations/societies/clubs you want to be involved in, etc. Does this help and make sense? Let me know any follow up questions that you have and I will try to help you with those. Thank you!
@@will9678 thanks again!! Let me know what follow up things I can support you with in the future k cheers!! Glad you’re a part of the community. Thankkssss

@@JakeVoorhees my friend stuck career about Automotive engineering. Can you help my friend? Can you make the video about Automotive engineering? I want to get path of software and hardware in my career. Can you help me?
I'm a 35-year-old guy who is exploring Computer Science and Computer Engineering field. What kind of passion or skills do I need? I'm just new to this field. I'm I too old? Currently, I'm an IT Major. But would like to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering or Science.
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a vid from you Jake. Love the full beard! I’m currently in BS Computer and Electrical Engineering Technology with a focus in Electrical Systems. Got my AS in Audio Engineering. Would love to design and troubleshoot audio equipment. What do you think would be a best course of action to take to pursue this? I’m also interested in RF and communication systems since there’s parallels to audio.
Thank you! you seem to be in a really good situation and I would say that you are exactly where you need to be to pursue designing audio equipment. Try and figure out what employers hire engineers for this in your area, and conduct informational interviews with them
definitely, start here, "What do mechatronics engineers do", th-cam.com/video/4YjLZcQRLds/w-d-xo.html, which is essentially the niche you have to pursue in order to work in robotics k? let me know what questions you have next, thanks!
I'm really nervous in taking this course this year. The fact that I think I don't fit in that field tho I kinda like to take it, it scares me. I think i would be left behind class
Hey thanks for the comment. So what within this makes you nervous? And are you talking about a computer engineering course? Does that mean you’re an electrical engineer? Let me know a little more and I’ll see how I can help k? Cheers!!
Being nervous taking any engineering program is completely 100% normal, but it is also so exciting. My advice is, if you still have a love for engineering but you seem to be falling out of computer, try a different field that is similiar. The beauty of engineering is how vast and numerous the fields are. You might end up not coping well with the computer program your school offers, but they might offer another degree close enough to what you wanted and it will work out better. Some degrees that are similar is computer science (programming side) robotics, electronics, electrical, mechatronics. All of these have overlapping classes but are different enough that you might find it better for your tastes. Keep at it
This video is awesome. I think that embedded systems and things like that caught my attention more. I was gonna ask If I want to do also some fair bit of software with a good amount of hardware too. Should I be thinking of mecatronics instead of Computer Engineering?
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that. Computer engineering is pretty close to EEE, and EEE mixed with ME and CE is Mechatronics so yes.

I really like coding but I'm also interested in going into the feild of hardware. This month i get to chose my future high school courses. I'm going to chose physics and chemistry but I'm not sure if to chose IT, Electronics or both. What's the best thing to do? Also, will IT teach me a bit of programming?
Hey thanks for the comment and yeah I understand it’s hard to choose. I don’t bunk chemistry is going to help you unless you are going into materials engineering or biotech or environmental. Which it seems you are not. Physics is important, so are calculus related course, and for electronics avenues, programming and computer science and coding type courses. I mean take chemistry just to take hard classes. I forgot this was for high school advice yeah take chemistry. What you gotta do the most is study industries and figure out what’s the best engineering field to major it.

@@JakeVoorhees The form I'm going into (ages 14-15) doesn't have specific classes like calculus unfortunately, unless that might already be a mandatory topic in math but I'll try to self-teach on the topic. So far i watched the Electrical Engineering video you recommended and 3 majors interested me so thanks for the help! Will watch the other two videos soon. I have 2 questions: 1. Would IT and Electronics go hand in hand with each other? IT and Electronics are the only two hardware/software subjects i can pick with so far so just want to know if it's best to do both until 2022 when i can branch off into more specific subjects 2. Which one is more important to be a Computer Hardware or Software Engineer? IT or Electronics? Google didn't really help me with an answer for this question
@@aaliyahc.4700 I know it has been 2 years but just in case someone else finds this: IT is not really related to electronics as much as you think. Eventually you are managing systems of a company like their network, computers, etc. If the network goes down, you fix it. If someone's computer is messing up, you fix it for them. Whereas computer or software engineers support code or hardware DESIGN full time
Depends which part of the machine you want to work on. If you watch those other three videos, what do mechanical / electrical / mechatronics engineers do you will know.

Hey man I’m majoring in computer engineering, I was wondering what minor would fit perfectly with my major, I was thinking physics (obviously) but wondering if you have a different thought. Thanks !!
Hey! I’m doing a CE major with a physics minor in my university, which ends up getting me some similar courses that get taught in EE anyways and scratches the physics itch I have. :)
The hardware is the hardware. If you mean material, that will always change. What you should look into is computer and mechatronic engineering physical components and how they are made. So things like 3D printing and modeling with solid works will be good skills
Woah you must be excited huh? Yes mechanical engineers can work in any field. You would just work on more of the mechanics and hardware side, designing components and things like that rather than working on the software, or the electronics (which could include signals and controls, etc)

Hi! I'm starting to study computer engineering in September and I have a question: do you need to learn coding before you start college, or do they teach you from the start? Im really worried about my grades even though my school hasn't even started yet 😂😂
My comment may be too late, but it wouldn't hurt to brush up on some basics, like on what for loops do and basic stuff in Python. If you can get past that, you should be able to learn more of the complicated stuff in college. Gotta learn your tools for the job
Is it better to pursue computer engineering or electrical engineering if i aim to become a software engineer? And will computer scientist have an advantage over computer engineers when applying for software engineer jobs?
Hey thanks for the comment. I know this one is confusing as I get this question often. Computer Engineering is actually a subset of Electronics Engineering which is within Electrical Engineering. Electrical Engineering itself is the more broad major. Many programs offer them together as “Electrical & Computer Engineering” and it's not possible to achieve an isolated CPE degree. Electrical Engineering includes things like power, telecommunications, signals & controls, and electronics, and computer engineering. Computer engineering concentrates more on programming and how the hardware and software are made built to work together. On the other hand, Electronic Engineering concentrates more on circuits, loops, communication, wireless connections, etc. Both of these branches will study the same fundamentals but Electrical Engineering tends to focus on power generation and distribution while Computer engineering will specialize in computer systems. In other words, software-controlled hardware and its interconnections. Computer Engineering does more software related work; such as code development. On the other hand, Electronic Engineering does more hardware related work; such as working on a computer modern board, circuits, wiring, and alike.

If I want to work on drones, machine learning, computer vision, robots and similar work, would it make more sense to study Computer Engineering or Computer Science? The Computer Engineering degree at my Uni is moreso focused on Software then it is on hardware btw. Like 75% software, 25% hardware. And the two specializations in the degree are either Distributed systems and networks, or Computer vision and AI. And would I need the Masters degree before I'm qualified to build the beforementioned things ?
Which computer related major should an innovative mind choose ex. create new e-commerce business types never done before like facebook and youtube did???
hi!! i recently was accepted for ucsc’s computer engineering program. it’s the only in-state school i was accepted to (although i am waitlisted at cal poly and sdsu) and my out of state schools are for mechanical engineering. currently, ucsc’s only abet accredited program is ee, so i was wondering if i could hear your opinions on if i should a) still go to ucsc for computer engineering, b) transfer into electrical or c) go out of state for mechanical, which ucsc does not have. i’ve heard great things about ucsc’s program tho and of the university at large, i just don’t want to jeopardize job prospects by not being accredited. thank you so so much in advance, and i really appreciate your videos!
Congrats! CPE is a great program. I think CPE is a better choice than ME for the future. Unless you hate programming/coding in that case ME will be better. 1. School doesn't matter unless its MIT or Stanford, otherwise all of them are pretty much seen as the same. Engineering is engineering and you will get respect and a high salary no matter what. Computer engineering will be great no matter where you go and yes CPE is a great choice. 2. EE is essentially the same as CPE in school. Its just different courses but EEs and CPEs can work as one another's jobs down the road. 3. Do not go out of state. Save the $$$. Plus ME < CPE. And definitelyyyyyy dont go somewhere that is not accredited, esp for mechanical engineering. No no no :) Let me know what follow up questinos you have.

Hi my name is mark and I'm in 8th grade I have to choose my careers now and I wanna do computer engineering I rlly wanna do it because most of my family dosent really have or make a lot of money and i wanan do something with my life so if you could can you give me some tips on going threw highschool trying to do computer engineering
does computer engineering also mean you can make cool machines? like for example new technology vacuums or remote control lawn mowers or new headphones? business wise that sounds cool
i watched this video and now i noticed i fucked up... i made a wrong decision i wanted to do computer science and not computer engineering... that's why i had a lot of hardware subjects than software
Plz help I really love programming more but I also want to know how the computer or device work and build devices or fix what would you recommend want to do both but if I do get the degree I will mostly apply at software job but also try hardware too depending if my interest chantes

Does the engineering school matter as long as it is abet accredited?
Electrical vs Computer engineering
Between computer science and computer engineering,
Which is best?
@@njokuangela1871 hey thanks for the comment. so it all depends on what you want to do. Computer engineers can work as computer science professionals, so my attitude is to steer you there. You less you love love love the programming aspect so much and care very little about the integration of the programming and the computer hardware. CS has 283 ABET accredited programs which means you can still go an engineering route, in a way, if you want.
Honestly you can’t go wrong with either. I haven’t made a video on computer science yet. But... Software engineering is a branch of computer science. Here is a video on that,

Man, let me tell you, I started my Mechatronics degree 2 years ago, and I'm still just as excited every semester to learn new things as the first.
Is that the United States Air Force academy? So how it was?
Have you graduated?
I am actually very thankful for this video. Cleared up a lot of questions I had about the Computer Engineering field and cleared my doubts of going back to college to get this degree. There is so much potential and growth in this field. Thanks so much Jake
What did you end up doing?
@@modisaneunity4534 oh boy! do I have an update for you!
I ended up getting into the Computer Engineering major. I basically started from scratch since my previous degree is in Music Performance. I tried getting into the master's program since I already had a bachelors, but I needed so many classes that it was basically like doing the bachelor for Computer Engineering. I am almost done with this new degree too. I am almost at senior year and will be finishing by October 2025. I would have preferred Software Engineering but my University doesn't offer that major. Computer Engineering in my uni has a veeery big chunk of Electrical Engineering courses, not that I didn't like it (Electrical Engineering) but it is certainly not 100% for me . However, I do appreciate and understand the value of the EE courses in Computer Engineering.
One of my most pressing issues was that I was going to feel out of place because I am a few years older than most students and that I was going to have a hard time learning and studying since I come from a totally different major. It took some serious hard work while also working full-time outside of school, but it is definitely worth it. Engineering ended up being the major for me and it truly makes me feel accomplished how far I've come and how much I have been to learn and even reach the Dean's list and honor program through my whole major. I even met my current best friend by taking classes together.
I am just a few months away from starting my Capstone project (which I am thankfully going to do with my best friend) and am also preparing myself to apply for Grad School too, still deciding if I should do a Master's or a special PhD program in engineering that lets me go straight from my bachelors to the PhD. Thanks again to Jake for this amazing video and how much he was able to help me with my decision. Hope my experience helps others too! I did a complete 180 and was totally worth it. It was incredibly scary but I promise you it is so gratifying and incredibly worth your time and sacrifice.
Currently in my junior year as a CE major. Definitely true about more opportunities in software than in hardware
nice to hear the real student feedback about that. What else can we help you with right now? Thanks!
No, I just think CpE don't know literal keywords for CpE jobs. Its not like computer science where you search java dev, software engineer, or literally search computer science.
@@The2Coolest2 haha maybe, thanks for the comment. Anything I can help you with?
Can I be a software developer or software engineer, with a major in computer engineering?
@@adidascamp Of course you can. Computer engineering has two related components: Hardware and software. At some point, you will need to specialize. Hence, the computer engineer may become a software engineer.
Hope Jake reads this,
I've been thinking a lot about getting a double major in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I know I could take Computer Engineering as my major. However, here are some of the reasons why I would be interested in a double major.
1. I want to study both fields at a deeper level and not just take a couple of extra classes like in a minor. For example, understand those concepts that a Computer Scientist would not study and those that an Electrical Engineer would not study in a Computer Science major.
2. Increase my chances of finding a job and being more competitive. I know that Electrical Engineering is flexible and could apply to jobs that a Computer Scientist could not.
3. Avoid being unemployed. In the future, if I were not able to find a job in Electrical Engineering, I would have the option of finding a job in Computer Science and so on.
4. Build a second source of income. I would not only want to depend on a source of income that comes only from my degree, but I would like to have at least two sources of income.
5. Experience the best of both worlds, and if possible in the future, be able to study two masters.
I know that when one studies a double major, it takes more time and money. However, I would care more about job security, and I think the best way is to have two bachelor's.
In this scenario, what would be the most advisable thing to do, to study Computer Engineering or a double major in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science?
Please, can someone advise me? I feel lost
You’re probably a genius if youre planning to double major with engineering. Most people cant even complete engineering alone
You should probably get CE. As you can learn further down the line on your own, if need be.
Im in school for Mechanical Engineering and Plan to get a second bachelors on Computer engineering. Moreover, a Masters In Material Science and then im done from there.
Just do CE. there's no point in the double major. If you feel like you want to dive deeper into a certain topic, do it for your technical electives are do some projects on your own in free time.
You will really learn when you get an internship or job, the technical skills required. In school you'll learn more of the theory.
A video on engineers' roles in renewable energy would be so cool! Personally I am really into the move to solar.
great okay yeah we're actually working on something similar right now, thanks!
I'm computer engineering student. Programming, science and calculus is so hard but I love to explore more about this field.

can a computer engineer make devices like heads up displays , augmented reality and virtual reality interfaces ?
Yea definitely, especially if you work on your programming skills so you can attack the job market from that angle too
What programming language is used in heads up display
Loved this video. Can you do one to differentiate between Information Systems degrees and CS/CE degrees? I'm not an engineer. I have a business degree with an emphasis is information systems (MIS/BIS back in the day). I feel like employers frequently confuse titles by throwing "engineer" in there for say a systems administrator or analyst position. I hate this. I'm very careful to entertain "engineer" positions because the field and credential deserve some respect, and where it seems employers are all to willing to treat it like a prestige moniker. Administrators don't typically "graduate" to engineer based on seniority.
yeah good call. Career positions are confusing and imo no one should be called an engineer, nor should a position be deemed that unless they truly require a full engineering degree from an ABET engineering school. I will write this video down on the list and get moving on it, thank you!
Thanks for the video! It helps to convince me that CE is a good major.
Thanks for the video!
I have a Bachelors in CS and never took Circuit classes. I don’t even know RTOS or Embedded Sys programming. Thinking of getting another Bachelors (for fun and hopefully for work) in Computer Engineering. Also torn between EE vs CpE. But I’m more into Circuits and Computers than Wireless and Communications Engineering. Making antennas can be fun though.
Thanks a lot for your video!
Jake, Would love a Video on all about internships and does the type of Engineering Internship affect your career like Can you switch from HVAC to Aerospace engineering
Hey Natasha, great question. Internships are used for two purposes. 1) To provide you another avenue to truly understand if you enjoy and are passionate about a certain career field. You don't get exposed enough to things like automotive, aerospace, biomedical, or any of the other 12ish sub-fields that we discuss in this video, "What do mechanical engineers do", so check that out th-cam.com/video/5wEteXzhtak/w-d-xo.html. It is very normal to do various internships in order to know what you like, so its fine to do HVAC then Aerospace then whatever, etc. And, 2) Once you know which direction you want to pursue in your career first, internships can be used to build your momentum towards the career niche that you want. Say you now know you want Aerospace, then you should be building relationships in that field, joining organizations in that field, doing internships there, talking more with those profs, etc.
i was trying to decide between cs ee and computer engineering and i clicked on this video... Thank you because I couldn't put into words what exactly i wanted to do and now im confident that I want to be a computer engineer...justi n time for college apps this year😭

@4:45 you kind of are misinforming any potential EE/CE , the alternative isn’t mechanical engineering at all. VLSI and circuit design is far from something an ME encounters. I’m a freshman and used this video as a reference but it’s somewhat misleading

I don't think civil gets enough attention and Jake specialized in Civil/traffic so I would like to see more of his strengths come out as content.
It seems like unless one wants to go hardcore computer science, taking an electrical engineering path with some supplemental programming classes might be a better, more versatile degree than computer engineering. As I recall, you commented in a live feed that computer engineering was a bit in decline.
yeah i mean, computer engineering and electrical engineering are so close, they are essentially the same in some ways. EE is better, there are more jobs, more future yeah, you pretty much have the right idea

What is the difference between Computer systems engineering and Computer engineering?
Computer Engineering and Computer Systems Engineering are both subsets of Electrical/Electronics Engineering. Many universities do not even have computer engineering available. I glanced through the top four engineering schools, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, and CalTech and none of them have computer engineering. They have electrical engineering and computer science together sometimes, which is where you can build a custom “computer engineering-like” major.
Computer engineering integrates electronic engineering with computer sciences. Computer engineers design and develop computer systems and other technological devices.
Computer systems engineers implement the network architects' designs, and solve the complex problems involved in the day-to-day operations of networks. They frequently test system operations, identify security risks, and research new products or processes that will improve system function.
As you can see, the word “systems” is used within the definition of either speciality, so we’re really starting to split hairs here.
However, there is computer hardware engineering, which the BLS reports having 71,000 employed engineers in the USA right now which is actually 5th on the list right now (1. Civil 329k, Electrical 328k, Mechanical 316k, Industrial 295k, and then Computer Hardware 71k). These engineers do not focus on the integration of their designs within greater systems.
But in the end, I do not think any of this matters. Any electrical engineer or computer engineer can work in so many of the same jobs or roles. The differences simply come down to preferences, such as what companies and roles you want to intern for, what tech electives you take in your 3rd and 4th years, what events and job fairs you focus on, what engineering organizations/societies/clubs you want to be involved in, etc.
Does this help and make sense? Let me know any follow up questions that you have and I will try to help you with those. Thank you!

Being nervous taking any engineering program is completely 100% normal, but it is also so exciting. My advice is, if you still have a love for engineering but you seem to be falling out of computer, try a different field that is similiar. The beauty of engineering is how vast and numerous the fields are. You might end up not coping well with the computer program your school offers, but they might offer another degree close enough to what you wanted and it will work out better. Some degrees that are similar is computer science (programming side) robotics, electronics, electrical, mechatronics. All of these have overlapping classes but are different enough that you might find it better for your tastes. Keep at it
What about those who want to work with nano technology or artificial intelligence?
Can computer engineers compete with software engineers especially if it is broad because I’m thinking more of computer science
what is the anser plz
What do computer engineers do exactly? Please explain a way that a grade 11 student would do
I would do all three Computer, Electrical and Software engineering in my opinion with computer science.
Just do electrical engineering trust me thanks
This video is awesome. I think that embedded systems and things like that caught my attention more. I was gonna ask If I want to do also some fair bit of software with a good amount of hardware too. Should I be thinking of mecatronics instead of Computer Engineering?

Hey thanks for the comment and yeah I understand it’s hard to choose. I don’t bunk chemistry is going to help you unless you are going into materials engineering or biotech or environmental. Which it seems you are not.
Physics is important, so are calculus related course, and for electronics avenues, programming and computer science and coding type courses.

1. Would IT and Electronics go hand in hand with each other? IT and Electronics are the only two hardware/software subjects i can pick with so far so just want to know if it's best to do both until 2022 when i can branch off into more specific subjects
2. Which one is more important to be a Computer Hardware or Software Engineer? IT or Electronics? Google didn't really help me with an answer for this question
@@aaliyahc.4700 I know it has been 2 years but just in case someone else finds this: IT is not really related to electronics as much as you think.
Eventually you are managing systems of a company like their network, computers, etc. If the network goes down, you fix it. If someone's computer is messing up, you fix it for them.
Whereas computer or software engineers support code or hardware DESIGN full time
Im a 12 yr old boy and this is my dream job and i hope i can be a computer engineer soon

Hey! I’m doing a CE major with a physics minor in my university, which ends up getting me some similar courses that get taught in EE anyways and scratches the physics itch I have. :)
how about the hardware for AR and VR devices who produces them
The hardware is the hardware. If you mean material, that will always change. What you should look into is computer and mechatronic engineering physical components and how they are made. So things like 3D printing and modeling with solid works will be good skills
May I ask what is the difference between software conputer engineering and computer science?
CAN MECHANICAL ENGINEER WORK IN COMPUTER VISION AND ROBOTICS FIELD??

Here is a video that goes over a bunch of ME sectors, "What Do Mechanical Engineers Do?" th-cam.com/video/5wEteXzhtak/w-d-xo.html and this one looks at careers like automotive, aerospace, product engineering for ME, etc:
"Jobs for Mechanical Engineers", th-cam.com/video/L95q-d6FWVY/w-d-xo.html. Thanks so much! Let me know how to help you next okay? Cheers!
Many people struggle to understand they should do ME or EE, so I made this:
“Mechanical VS Electrical Engineering” th-cam.com/video/6PJ-Yw5qVsc/w-d-xo.html
And it’s commonly the dream to work with mechateonics or robotics, so check this out
“What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do?” th-cam.com/video/4YjLZcQRLds/w-d-xo.html
And in case you’d like a deeper dive in EE or CPE

“What Do Computer Engineers Do?” th-cam.com/video/hiL-cTbz188/w-d-xo.html
I hope these help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? I respond to all comments. Cheers!
@@JakeVoorhees thank you I'll definitely go through all these videos 😀
Hi! I'm starting to study computer engineering in September and I have a question: do you need to learn coding before you start college, or do they teach you from the start? Im really worried about my grades even though my school hasn't even started yet 😂😂
No need, I believe they teach programming basics as part of your early units.
@@lemcsr I hope you're right, thank you for replying :)
Same question I have
Programming classes are a requirement, so you'll be running into those soon. It wouldn't hurt to learn anything prior, though.
My comment may be too late, but it wouldn't hurt to brush up on some basics, like on what for loops do and basic stuff in Python. If you can get past that, you should be able to learn more of the complicated stuff in college. Gotta learn your tools for the job
Hey jake ! Love the beard! how long did that take to grow?
What job is best if you like building and designing stuff but don’t like coding. Would that be electrical engineering?
Is it better to pursue computer engineering or electrical engineering if i aim to become a software engineer? And will computer scientist have an advantage over computer engineers when applying for software engineer jobs?
Hey thanks for the comment. I know this one is confusing as I get this question often.
Computer Engineering is actually a subset of Electronics Engineering which is within Electrical Engineering. Electrical Engineering itself is the more broad major. Many programs offer them together as “Electrical & Computer Engineering” and it's not possible to achieve an isolated CPE degree.
Electrical Engineering includes things like power, telecommunications, signals & controls, and electronics, and computer engineering.
Computer engineering concentrates more on programming and how the hardware and software are made built to work together. On the other hand, Electronic Engineering concentrates more on circuits, loops, communication, wireless connections, etc.
Both of these branches will study the same fundamentals but Electrical Engineering tends to focus on power generation and distribution while Computer engineering will specialize in computer systems. In other words, software-controlled hardware and its interconnections.
Computer Engineering does more software related work; such as code development. On the other hand, Electronic Engineering does more hardware related work; such as working on a computer modern board, circuits, wiring, and alike.
Here are my videos on these subjects:
“What Do Electrical Engineers Do?” th-cam.com/video/zRawKI6Qsm0/w-d-xo.html
“What Do Computer Engineers Do?” th-cam.com/video/hiL-cTbz188/w-d-xo.html
And this one talks about high paying EE roles:
“Jobs for Electrical Engineers over $100,000” th-cam.com/video/Vi4hkCeNWs0/w-d-xo.html
Also, a lot of Electrical Engineers wish to work in mechatronics/robotics, so check out this video “What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do?” th-cam.com/video/4YjLZcQRLds/w-d-xo.html
Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? I respond to all comments. Cheers and thanks again!
Nice video 😍👍🏼
thanks my man :)
Can computer engineering graduates work in a production company like AMD, Intel or Gigabyte on the hardware side of things?
Yes. Infact it's a major taken in senior year called VLSI design and fabrication. I know this is a late reply. I'm sorry.
If I want to work on drones, machine learning, computer vision, robots and similar work, would it make more sense to study Computer Engineering or Computer Science? The Computer Engineering degree at my Uni is moreso focused on Software then it is on hardware btw. Like 75% software, 25% hardware. And the two specializations in the degree are either Distributed systems and networks, or Computer vision and AI.
And would I need the Masters degree before I'm qualified to build the beforementioned things ?
4:15 arent you reading the stats incorrectly here ? isn't it 1.4 million available jobs and not actual people working in that field ?
Which computer related major should an innovative mind choose ex. create new e-commerce business types never done before like facebook and youtube did???
hi!! i recently was accepted for ucsc’s computer engineering program. it’s the only in-state school i was accepted to (although i am waitlisted at cal poly and sdsu) and my out of state schools are for mechanical engineering. currently, ucsc’s only abet accredited program is ee, so i was wondering if i could hear your opinions on if i should a) still go to ucsc for computer engineering, b) transfer into electrical or c) go out of state for mechanical, which ucsc does not have. i’ve heard great things about ucsc’s program tho and of the university at large, i just don’t want to jeopardize job prospects by not being accredited. thank you so so much in advance, and i really appreciate your videos!
also, do you have an email i could write to? i have a lot of questions if you don’t mind, i’m very anxious about my future. thank you again!
Congrats! CPE is a great program. I think CPE is a better choice than ME for the future. Unless you hate programming/coding in that case ME will be better.
1. School doesn't matter unless its MIT or Stanford, otherwise all of them are pretty much seen as the same. Engineering is engineering and you will get respect and a high salary no matter what. Computer engineering will be great no matter where you go and yes CPE is a great choice.
2. EE is essentially the same as CPE in school. Its just different courses but EEs and CPEs can work as one another's jobs down the road.
3. Do not go out of state. Save the $$$. Plus ME < CPE. And definitelyyyyyy dont go somewhere that is not accredited, esp for mechanical engineering. No no no :)
Let me know what follow up questinos you have. I think you know what you have to do, cheers thanks
Yup hello@jakevoorhees.com thanks looking forward to your email, cheers !
My problem is to choose computer or electrical engineering 😞😞
I'm about to take this course
Niccceee, thanks for the comment. Computer Engineering is a great field and I'm very supportive of it. Do you have any questions about your CompE journey that you are about to take? Make sure you see these videos for more help.
One thing cool about computer engineering is that you can segway nicely into one of the coolest future sectors, mechatronics engineering. Check out this video for info on that,, “What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do?” th-cam.com/video/4YjLZcQRLds/w-d-xo.html
And since CompE is technically a subset of Electrical Engineering, here you go, “What Do Electrical Engineers Do?” th-cam.com/video/zRawKI6Qsm0/w-d-xo.html
And finally here, this talks about high paying EE jobs that all CompE's can get, “Jobs for Electrical Engineers over $100,000” th-cam.com/video/Vi4hkCeNWs0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks again, let me know what follow up questions you have. I respond to 100% of comments, cheers!
Will a degree in computer engineering open doors for me to work as a software engineer ?
How about Cybersecurity Engineer?
Is anyone having the issue? No link in the dedcription works the bitly ones. I couldnt join the discord

Hey Jake, I'm trying to teach myself microcontrollers; I have found two buds that program microcontrollers but one uses C and the other uses javascript. What are your opinions on the direction I should go?
what the fuck kind of microcontroller is programmed in javascript
C is by far the most prevalent. If you want to really understand them then do a project in assembly.
C/C++ are very prevalent, as is ASM (the exact “flavour” of which will vary). Rust is an emerging language in embedded development but is still quite immature, so you’ll find the most resources in the former three. :)
Make a video for mechanical !
Yes! Mechanical Engineering videos are some of our most popular releases. Here is "What Do Mechanical Engineers Do?" th-cam.com/video/5wEteXzhtak/w-d-xo.html and "Jobs for Mechanical Engineers", th-cam.com/video/L95q-d6FWVY/w-d-xo.html. Thanks so much! Let me know how to help you next okay? Cheers!
I told my guidance counselor I’m into computer engineering and she send me here this is very information😃
That’s awesome!! Tell your guidance counselor I said thank you! What are you trying to figure out next? Thanks
@@JakeVoorhees I think I’m going to computer engineering I think that’s what I like the most with the best wage but my Tuation for that college for that my major cost a lot so I’m not sure
Hey thanks again for following up. Sure there is the financial situation, which I can help less with. But as for computer engineering, you are making a great call I think, so don't worry. It will be worth it. Just let me know how I can help you from here and I can advise. Cheers chat soon, thanks again!
@@JakeVoorhees oh thank you I wasn’t sure before since you think it worth it I give it an shot
@@focusunreleased9299 ya it’s definitely worth it :) computer engineering is a fantastic career. Let me know what other questions you have and I can try to help you with those. Cheers and good luck!!
So you did say that a network engineer is considered a computer engineer right?
Hey thanks for the comment. Ya network engineering is one thing computer engineers can do, among a lot of other stuff.
Computer engineering is at the intersection of electronics engineering and computer science. So you can do any of that stuff.
And since computer engineering is a subset of Electrical Engineering, this video is good for you too, “What Do Electrical Engineers Do” th-cam.com/video/zRawKI6Qsm0/w-d-xo.html

Can someone with degree in electonics engineering work as a computer engineer ??
Hey, I am electrical engineer I am interested in the remote internship you talk about,how do I proceed?
Hi my name is mark and I'm in 8th grade I have to choose my careers now and I wanna do computer engineering I rlly wanna do it because most of my family dosent really have or make a lot of money and i wanan do something with my life so if you could can you give me some tips on going threw highschool trying to do computer engineering
So what jobs can I specifically get with this degree?
Please I want to learn computer engineering but I don't have any knowledge about it. please can you help me.
does computer engineering also mean you can make cool machines? like for example new technology vacuums or remote control lawn mowers or new headphones? business wise that sounds cool
Yes, those are embedded systems. You can also make those with an electrical engineering degree
i watched this video and now i noticed i fucked up... i made a wrong decision
i wanted to do computer science and not computer engineering... that's why i had a lot of hardware subjects than software
Plz help I really love programming more but I also want to know how the computer or device work and build devices or fix what would you recommend want to do both but if I do get the degree I will mostly apply at software job but also try hardware too depending if my interest chantes
Hi dad I'm study I'm a graduate of computer science what's the difference than computer engineering
can you compare computer engineering and biomedical engineering
