Astra.Xtreme Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Well the money aside, Ive always wanted to be focused on hardware so I guess computer engineering is my sort of thing. Thanks :) Just so you know, computer engineering is a little bit of hardware, but not much. Though it's probably different for every university. I'd recommend Electrical Engineering if you want to specialize in more hardware. That's what I did and it was magnitudes better than CE (in my opinion).

Tiburon Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 If you can get "Software Engineering" or take classes in it, do so. Regular programming/CS is too easy to offshore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsiphon Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 After further thought, embedded systems is a pretty cool field to get into too. Had a senior seminar in embedded code/x86 ASM code and we got to do a few projects using Lego Mindstorm sets muahahaha :blush: total geek addon here; so how the x86 ASM and C tied into this is that there is a replacement ROM (soft) that you can flash to the Mindstorms main logic controller - I'm sorry the name of the project escapes me as it's been years. But then, there is a dev package that allows you to write C code and compile it into Mindstorm executable code and load it onto the Mindstorm controllers :) pretty cool actually.
