phantomAI Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 I'll be starting college in the fall, but plan to have a career in software engineering. Would I be majoring in computer science or computer engineering. Also since the market is a bit competitive now, what would give me the advantage during my years as an undergrad and when I graduate? Any advice is helpful so I can plan ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h71y6 Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 khnXP: Computer Engineering. More flexibility and generally more knowledge but longer than CS. Make sure you go for coop every summer. That'll be your trump card. MxxCon: Cryptography is a very difficult field to get in. First of all you need very very good math skills. Secondly, it is illegal in some countries to teach cryptography. Thus you must have good background and security clearences to access the resources. It is a science. syscrash2k: Basically you're asking about IT/SysAdmin/Programmer or Engineer? lol that's not quite a question. Being an engineer is to be a professional, with ethics, responsibility etc. As an engineer you get more chances to move up in company or start your own consulting firm. Your reputation will reaps benefit for you if it's good. And you can do contractual work which is great. It is more difficult to be a certified engineer than it is to be a CS/IT. But there is a reason why. Then again, there are a lot of schools these days that graduate electrical engineers who don't even know the ohms law.

Tobbe Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 I study both electronics and computers at the same time... Digital technology, Microprocessor technology and so on... By the way, I know Ohms law, his name was Simon Ohm. :) In Europe it looks like this: U=R?I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people that enjoy doing certain things that I would never do. As far as money, that can really vary, by location, and experience. You should really look in your area to see what people get paid for each of the above jobs, and as far as enjoyment, we can't tell you what you'll enjoy more.
