This video covers various subfields of computer engineering and what careers you can get in those fields. Computer engineering is basically the combination of electrical engineering and computer science, which means a lot of these jobs also apply to those two majors as well.
Some of the biggest subfields include
Computer Vision
Computer Networks
Embedded Systems
Compilers
Operating Systems
Signal Processing
Integrated Circuits
and much more...
You don't need to decide immediately which subfield is right for you, but it is something to consider as you go through college.
Computer Science Careers: • Computer Science Caree...
I'm a 15-year CE veteran and one of the best things about the discipline is the versatility - you're never bored and there's always more to do and to learn. If you are getting into engineering for the money and prestige there are better fields; but if you're one of those fools who loves making stuff it's the best job ever. I describe it as being a one-man R&D department: thus far in my career I have designed hardware and circuits, laid out PCBs, write code for embedded systems (insanely fun BTW), designed signal processing algorithms for sensors and communications; created manufacturing processes, made OS'es, wrote GPU shaders, designed machine learning algorithms and much more. I have even have done a bizarre amount of typically chemical and mechanical engineering tasks because that's what the project needed. I CE is a hybrid discipline but unlike most hybrids you must simultaneously go deep into a subdiscipline or subdomain and then jump right back out and take a more holistic and system-oriented view. It ends up being like the engineering-equivalent of being a musician and orchestra conductor at the same time and is tremendously enjoyable and rewarding.
Thanks for the information
Thank u vm
can you make a firmware as a ce or learn it in ce?
@@harding5674 yes, definitely. In some regards, and this is controversial, but an argument could be made that CE's are better suited to do firmware these days than either EE's or CS's: they get more software training than the former and understand hardware better than the latter. If you want to do it professionally, however, the problem is that that CE's usually aren't the dominant discipline in any industry and you usually will have trouble getting the initial experience on your resume. If you work on firmware for embedded systems the EE's usually call the shots and prefer to hire EE's, if you write firmware and drivers for desktop PC's, they are usually compsci people and prefer their own kind.
I hope it also pays decent money as i have elected CE as its interesting but i also wanna make money.
I'm at my first year studying computer engineering, so this is another perfect video for me from this channel! :)
Ernest Annabel, Computer enginnering is difficultly to study? Is C.S is better than computer science? Please give reply. Thank you
same here , so far I like it
it. a.good. thing. for. me. !!
because. I just. graduated. diploma about. computer. and. also. I will. go. to. be. a student. of. department. of. computer. engineering.
Flannel Channel Hello there I am a second year computer engineering student . First of all good to know you arent worried about working hard because you will need to work real hard.
And about enjoyment I dont know your university's course curriculum but where I am from the only computer related subjects in my first year was C programming except that all were science and maths.
So if you love science and maths you will enjoy it
Cheers
Saurabh Karki's secondary account.
It really depends as to what your passion is , If computers hardware and circuits is your thing go for computer engineeering if you like working on design , like to draw go for civil engineering
The gods have answered my prayers! Another video on my future career!!
u will change your mind 10 times over before you get to it
Lincoln Dexter I am stuck between Cs and pilot.
I really stuck
+Yo BrO it really all comes down to the job market after all, not so much about what we care about, according to my research on piloting as a career, it seems that the job market is very crowded and if you luckly happen to land a job, the pay is extraordinarily low until you gain enough flight hours to work with major airlines, and even then
the airline industry is actually in a decline in most of the west, although if you plan to work in Asia then you might have chance as the airline industry is growing fast in there
Computer Engineering ain't easy by the way. Prepare to take tons of classes.
@@kb_cs1100 Computer Engineering is not about building gaming computers....
Anyone can do that..
Thank you for posting this video (albeit 6 years later). I posted a question on reddit on what are all the possible jobs i can get with this major, and all the responses were doing everything but answer my question. This video does the opposite and answers that question. Much appreciate it
The computer engineering videos are awesome! Thanks for helping me make the decision to choose it as a major!
You got it! Thanks for the comment!
I'm a Computer Engineering student, and I thought it would be simple (it's not) and I love that about it. I'm comfortable with the programming aspect, but the circuit analysis is reddening my butt... and the Calculus? it's a killer for me... but... I still love what I do. 😊
Androva J. Yes
Keep up👍👍👍👍👍👍
What exactly is calculus and what of it do you study as an CE ?
@@kokopoppan You use it everywhere, it helps with electric signals (waves), their analysis etc....
Then go to computer science or software engineering that is more programming
If your into that
Most math/science/technology majors are hard
But don't let the difficulty stop you
Stem is better than liberal arts
Go to college for computers
Engineering
Math/science
Medicine
Bussiness
Or just go into
The trades
Hvac
Plumbing
Electrican
Carpenter
Mechanic
Welder
And more
Liberal arts
Is a waste of money
This video has been really informative! Im active duty planning to separate soon, I applied for college to do electrical engineering, but now I see computer engineering is where I want to be! Thank you so much!
A great video !!! You help thousands of undergraduates lighten up their future
You deserve more subs man. Your video is so helpful, i learn so much from your video
Damn I was just searching this. Nice timing
I rarely say this but he deserves more subs.
You are amazing! Wow I needed this so badly!
the video is very educative, didn't know one can actually study compiler as a course till today. A thanks to you
Hey Zach, thank you so much for this video. I love your explanations and especially your real-life examples. Could you please make a video on master's degree tracks for computer engineers as well?
Thank you, I chose this major because I love my internet of Things class. I think I will love the jobs going forward. I hope I can do some integrated circuits work and some programming later on. I am working hard on learning both.
Are you still happy with your choice Nick?
i am a 4th year computer engineering undergrad and yeah it's a great course to study
I’d love to ask you some questions. I’m currently studying computer science. In my second year. It’s been 4 years since your comment here. I was wondering if you could update me on your experience
Im in nursing school, why am I here when I'm supposed to be studying pharmacology? Because your voice and way of explaining things is 👌
Comedy
I'm going to start University very soon and you played a huge role in helping me decide what to study. You're an amazing person...Thank you SO much!!I love you!😘😊😄💯♥️♥️
this help me to calm my self before my first sem start ! thank you
Thanks a lot for explaining about computer engineering
This video helped me decide on switching from electrical to computer engineering.
Awesome guide as I am currently majoring in Computer Engineering at Iowa State but thanks to you, I have a better idea on which subfield to pursue.
How’s it going?! Did you graduate?
Well explained with vividly examples
Thank you.
Just took my first course of my computer engineering studies. (Engr 1201) only took a summer course, but I’m excited to finish the rest!
Thank you for making this. You == Awesome
I'm a computer engineering graduate and I chose this course coz I'm curious about computer and I love engineering. But now I'm worrying as to what job I'll fit in. You've given me hope. Thank you so much. 🖒
What kind of classe did you take in college and how much for a challenge was
Watching this because I am a first year Computer Engineering student and I need to learn more after I finished college.
Sir please do a video on electronics engineering
great video!
I'd like to see a video on robotics and the most useful courses for that field.
I actually graduated with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering. I remember taking a Digital Signal Processing class for an elective and absolutely fell in love with it. I've been seriously considering going for a Master's in Computer Engineering. If I do I may pursue DSP. Thanks for the info!
Seriously ? People describe DSP like hell ,one the hardest labs etc.
It's incredibly hard at first, but DSP is soooo incredible once it clicks for you. I do think that it is taught incorrectly: too heavily based on top-down design and mathematical purity, compared to the actual trial-and-error done in the real world. Almost all practical DSP deployments that I did were optimization tasks against BOM cost: how much performance can I squeeze out of pre-existing hardware.
I have a degree in music and am somewhat questioning my degree. I’m considering comp engineering because it’s safe and the way of the future.
If you like music, then get a job in music. You can do alot with your degree. Or you can make your own musical company.
Hey @michaelcarter3522, what did you end up doing? I'm in the same boat :)
good job as always
Am about to begin my freshman year... I like the challenges in the course. I just hope I survive ....
119 tubetv# you survive fam? Im thinking of going in this wat shld i learn the basics of befor going to sxhool?
Did u survived its been 2 yrs
Rika Yuki yap ... still doing ma thing .
Tech Flex how are you holding up? Are the classes difficult?
@@mreleven7826 Did you think it was worth it? Did you change your mind about computer engineer?
I've been a computer need since 10 years old lol. I'm getting into university next year, and in doing it as my major of course.
Thanks for clearification ❤️
I love you so fucking much, man.
And I love you
MajorPrep gay
im worried cause this is what im going to major, but hopefully if i put my mind to it i will acomplish my goal of getting a bachelor's degree
david cartagena Stop using words like hopefully, worried, and etc. You want something, you get it. The only barrier is you
I suggest spending the extra couple of years to get a Masters. If you ever want to breach $100k/yr. that's the way to do it. Unless you're barely managing to afford college as it is, or you want to get into the industry ASAP, you should take this route. It will also almost guarantee you beat out other applicants when applying for your first job to get that 3-5 years experience to move to a higher-level job because most applicants for entry-level jobs have only a BS.
Venox did you do this? I only really know people who went straight into the industry and then went back to get masters after they found out what they like and usually their company helped with tuition
@MajorPrep One question, is not computer software engineering a risky path to go into since there are people who already have university degrees tailored for working on Softwares like CS or SE degrees ?
God will give me the strength to be a computer engineer🙏🙏
Amen
may I ask what"s the difference between comprehensive track, digital circuit track
I really love maths,even though don't know much about programming,I keep asking myself whether I can major in computer engineering and whether I can succeed in life with that major.Any advice
Mr. Major prep, you going to be great professor...... Totally interesting.
If I go for EE CS then can I work as a computer engineer?I am interested in electrical engineering and computer engineering but colleges provide Electrical engineering and computer science.
Hey......can u plzzzz post a video on how into firmware feild after graduating computer engineering....
Embedded Systems
Right? Embedded systems are nifty.
I agree
Im gonna be a computer engineer
I will graduate with a bachelor's degree in information technology next year but I`m thinking to get a Masters's degree in computer engineering since I`m interested in computer components and hardware in general, what would you recommend?
Can you do a video about the universities that offer the best computer engineering programs
And thank you this video is very helpful and informative 🖤
For clarification, Zach did not describe a compiler correctly. A compiler turns source code (code that we more so recognize) into a form of assembly. Assembly is a language specific to the architecture of the computer. Different processor types use different assembly languages. This gives a processor a universal language it can use to convert the assembly to machine code (1s and 0s). This allows for multiple languages to exist for different purposes, such that a compiler is easier to build, as instead of converting the source code code to a bunch of numbers, it converts it to a simplified language. A compiler can then be optimized to generate fewer assembly instructions for a line of code.
On my second year as a Computer Engineering major, wish me luck guys
Do you like it? Cz im thinking bout going into Business technology management
@@brohochaits extremely fun just need a job
@@TonyDaExpert tony you a bit too late😂
@@TonyDaExpert
Have you graduated yet? I’m a junior in college
Just need 5 more semesters including the one I’m in
its very interesting video
Do you know anything about Computer Engineering Technology? I’ve been bouncing back and forth between CE and CET. I was interested in creating or working with entertainment technology such as phones and games like the switch. I know the main difference between the two is becoming an engineer or technician, but does that matter in my position? Thank you!
I really like that so much can be said in 10 mins
Is there a video of you discussing electronic engineering?
What subfeild should I go into if I’m interested in cpu design
Is there a video on ECE (electronics and communication engineering) major ?
i had my first year at college in civil engineering but now i really hate it , am trying to change the career to be a computer engineering but iam very scary from this step as there are only few days to take my choice
I am not trying to discourage you, but if you don't have a passion for computer don't switch, you have to be comfortable sitting 7+ hours in front of a screen doing work not watching youtube
@abdo samy, I would suggest that you study whatever you enjoy. You should not study something for the sake of money or because you think that something will be easy. Also don't judge a field because of a bad experience with a professors. Professors are not the same. There are some that are horrible and will give you the impression that you don't like a particular field. However, there are other professors who teach that same field that could make you love it because they explain things well and make things interesting.
Thank you very much🇱🇰
I decided to pursue a computer engineering degree .
i still have to take some math classes as I haven’t taking trig-precal then I can start engineering classes . I’m so excited🥰 and scared . Any tips for me who has no prior knowledge. Thanks for this video 🥰
I am kind of intimidated by all the math and physics... but I know if I study hard I can probably do it.
Just need to lock myself in my room when not in class and never see the light of day.
Joking aside, thank you so much for all these videos. Extremely useful info for me. I’m gonna take the STEM strand for 11th and 12th grade, then maybe take this computer engineering course. I’m still not completely sure, do you think I should go for it?
Thanks for the comment! And yeah definitely give it a shot. You're really young so this is the time to try things that are applicable to what you want to do for a career, the more you learn now the better.
Look at Nikola Tesla. This guy was so awesome applying Physics
What is different between computer science engineering vs computer engineering please reply sir
Make a video on Computer Sceince Engineering ☺
good explain... very interactive but i think the computer engineering is better
i couldn't find your video about "computer" engineering vs "software" engineering. Are they the same things or different? plus, I couldn't find the bachelor of 'computer' engineering, only bachelor of software engineering is available.
I love you man
Interesting,this is very similar to what you see in eletronics engineering
And who develops and builds the applications we use?
My interests in this field are Compiler design, virtual machines, computer architecture and reverse engineering of both software and hardware. Basically I enjoy dealing with very low level stuff in software which is very close to the hardware.
My interest are about the same too. Are you still studying about it or have you gotten a job on any of those topics?
can you tell me about online website for computer programming?
I am gonna graduate in this degree soon, its so fun but I hope I can get a job in embedded systems
Update??
Would google glass be an example of electrical engineering?
gonna become a computer engineer
One thing is that with CE, you can get any Cs job, but cs cant get every CE job
Please tell me I made the right choice
Com i.e. KOMz -- communications.. where electrical - is structs in -- non machines / vehicles.
D'Trk' -- designed three, nodes in machine. Dijkstra's -- inbetween fuses structs -- canards, that I, designed below?
In Kenya computer engineering is taught as Microprocessor Technology and instrumentation
Can I learn ai,iot,nlp,dl,and hardware of gadget and robotics in computer engineer pls someone reply. Because I want to establish a startup and make gadget,robotics and Chatbot software.
No bro this field is all about computer hardware and software so you can become software eng or hardware if you want to go in robotics then you should go electrical eng
can someone summarize the video?
If I’m more into hardware and the physical aspect of computers and other technology vs the software. What should I look into ?
Either electrical or computer. Both are ok for that. Depends on where you live and the job climate there.
I want to be a computer engineer but what's the best strand should i get?
Please help me 😩
STEM
How many subfields can i learn in adegree
Hello Sir mene 12class chemistry, biology and physics se pass out ki h to me Kya computer engineering kar skta hu.... Please reply...
mathematics is necessary
can you go into nanotechnology with a computer engineering degree?
You will need to study a lot of materials science(MS). It's double but I would say you would need a master's in some aspect of MS on top of your computer engineering degree.
Hey, great video. Though can you do more than just stem majors and jobs. Like banking, finance, econ etc.
keep helping
Major prep, 1 year is left for me until I enter college and I've been seriously thinking about becoming a software engineer, could you tell me what I'll be doing as a software engineer? Also will I have the opportunity to get a job in the US or Europe?
I still need to get software engineering on the channel. But at my school the difference between software engineering and computer science is like 3 classes, they are almost identical. A lot of what you see in this video as well as the computer science careers video you can do as a software engineer. Jobs at google, amazon, facebook, and so on would be common things for software engineers to get into, but there are so many jobs out there. And yes definitely opportunity in the US and Europe. In fact software developer has some of the highest employment of any engineering field I've seen yet.
MajorPrep and what about the Ph.D? Would it raise me employment chance and pay?
It will help you get research jobs or could allow you to become a professor. But you don't need one to get a job out of school. Many people get bachelor's in engineering and then go off to work at fortune 500 companies and they work their way up.
MajorPrep Alright, thanks a lot for putting effort into helping people. Your newest video also helped me. 🖒
other major field is Artificial intelligence . nice video.....
No mention of Verilog/VHDL? FPGA/ASIC development?
COMPUTER VISION!!!!!
4 years later.
I’m pursuing a degree in CE in the fall of 2022. Any previous graduates care to give advice?
Hey I’m thinking about majoring in ce too. How’s your first year been. I know you haven’t started a lot of engineering yet because the first year is usually all math.😂 but how’s it been so far
I am btech computer engineering graduate ..Can I study Mtech electronics engineering
any advice for me?? thus computer engineering is a good choice here in the philippine. do CE have a great salary?
Computer engineering is one of the highest paid branches of engineering. If you're going into it just for that I guarantee you will be miserable low level computer work must be your passion if you want any chance at being successful.
Sir I am ece branch
Can I do software job
What about Cyber Security jobs? Can CE student get it?
if you have the knowledge yes, take note all computer majors 70% self-taught, no one in the college will take from your hand and teach programming unless you took programming courses
Can a comp engg study robotics engg???
I think you can work in robotics. You can take electives that focus on robotics too.
No bro you can masters in robotics after graduating in comp eng
I'm just gonna double major in computer science and engineering
It's better to take computer engineering and take a couple of programming courses. Once you have a grasp on computer engineering IMO programming gets much easier.
Most of recruiter value M.S more than some degree-hoarder.
Machin396 lol programming is not cs
Make video on btech biotechnology
oh! i think i have to take computer science
Confuse on choosing computer engineering and civil engineering 😭
Alot of people said computer engineering is better, so i went with it
