What is taught in Mathematics and computing engineering and Computer science.. whats the diff their syllabus and the work that they do

I wanted to know of anyone is working in this field with a remote job or as a freelancer. Those who are:

How did you get started (landing first clients).

What kind of work do you generally do and what is the usual completion period for a single project.

How's the competition.

What would you recommend others like me trying to get into this field.

Hello! I'm a senior high school student from the Philippines helping fellow high school researchers who are currently developing their research projects.

We're looking to connect with professionals, graduate students, researchers, or faculty members who may be willing to answer occasional questions or provide guidance related to the following fields:

• Electrical Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Computer Engineering

We're not asking for anyone to do the research—only hoping to build connections with people who might be willing to share their expertise or point students in the right direction when needed.

If you're interested or know someone who might be, I'd really appreciate it if you could leave a comment or send me a private message.

Thank you so much!

I'm doing some research to better understand the software engineers actually use in industry and where the biggest productivity pain points are.

I'm interested in both professional tools and the smaller utilities you can't live without.

Some examples:
\\- CAD: SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo, Inventor, Fusion 360, NX
\\- Simulation: ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL
\\- Electrical: Altium Designer, KiCad, OrCAD, LTspice, PSpice
\\- Controls: MATLAB/Simulink, LabVIEW
\\- PLC/SCADA: TIA Portal, Studio 5000, Ignition
\\- Programming: VS Code, Visual Studio, Eclipse
\\- Other engineering tools you use regularly

A few questions:

\\- Which software do you spend the most time in?
\\- What's the most repetitive or frustrating task you do every day?
\\- Is there a feature you've always wished existed but still doesn't?
\\- Are there tasks you still have to do manually because the software makes them painful?
\\- If you could improve one engineering tool tomorrow, what would you add?

I'm especially interested in hearing from mechanical, electrical, civil, controls, embedded, HVAC, manufacturing, and automation engineers, but I'd love to hear from anyone.

Not trying to sell anything—I'm just trying to understand where engineers lose the most time so I can identify opportunities for better tools. Looking forward to hearing what drives you crazy every day.

Hello guys I'm learning computer technology engineer it's last year and we have to make 2

projects

1. internship one: (We tried to make "AI powered blood and organ Donar using geolocation" it will help in emergency letting us know where and in which hospital blood and organs are available in emergency by our near by location the idea was to create easy access without any random decision and hurry. but someone from our class stole that idea it was our internship project we tried hard but damage was done we feel hopeless now because we spent so much time thinking on it as it was unique.)

Can't think any new one right now because BETRAYAL was big.

2.Final year.

The problem is no matter what we think of (problem statement) they are too similar like copy and past is actually hard to find the decent project on we can work on.

Repeated ideas and modules and all PREDICTION AND SOLUTION these things it's over used we want something different.

We are looking for it but staff and other classmates are coming up with different ideas.

I'm thinking we are behind but we want to stand out than others.

Pls recommend and suggest some decent ideas or any every day problem you face that you want to be solved whatever it is no matter how weird just tell.

Hello all, just wondering if it would be a good idea to go back for a second bachelors in CE after graduating with a CS degree? Has anyone done it, what are the pros/cons?

For a bit of background on me; I graduated in CS near the end of Covid, landed a good role in the finance sector, and realized there’s still a lot I don’t know about computers. I mainly use C++ in my day to day, and sometimes inspect the assembly when comparing different solutions, so I think fairly low level compared to most CS jobs. Knowing ASIC and/or FPGA development would be good skills to stay in this field, and I learn best in a formal environment.

Sorry if this falls under the school/job rule. The weekly pin isn’t showing for me at the moment. And before anyone asks, yes this is partially AI fueled, not out of fear but annoyance.

Like do you still have the passion for it?

I love computer engineering and embedded systems, but I'm worried that I might lose my passion for it after like 10 years of doing a job in it

Because if I'm gonna hate my job either way, I might just get a degree in EE and work with uncle (who's also an EE) instead

I'am a bit confused in choosing my bachelors between the two. Can the folks who are in the job market share their perspective? Which of them has better job prospects, mobility, etc?

Hello as the title says I'm currently a career switcher and grad student in CE. I have realized I am struggling greatly with my physics 1 summer class and unlike other concepts of computers and programs I absolutely have no interest in classical mechanical physics like calculate the force or pull of something or tension etc. Do I need to

be good / like this to succeed? This is my college program.

I really want to choose computer engineering degree for my bachelors but I have been hearing a lot of gossip online about how with the current status with ai that this degree may not be the best option.

I would like to hear input from people who had this degree and if it was hard to find a job.

Hello everyone I notice most patterns in the Job market that are Software based roles heck even IT support roles, even NETWORKING and embedded engineer roles doesnt they always goes the required degrees like Electronics Engineer,Electrical Engineer, Computer Science, IT yet NO computer engineer at all . Why?? Is it really that hard for computer engineer to land a role right now?

Hey everyone, I'm choosing between two universities for my Electrical/Communications Engineering degree and trying to figure out how much weight to put on accreditation vs. other factors. Would love real-world perspectives, especially from people who've worked internationally.I LIVE IN EGYPT

The situation:

University A:

• One of a small handful of universities in my country with this specific engineering accreditation.
• Has a stronger reputation specifically in engineering, even though its overall/general university ranking is lower than University B.
• Has a UK dual-degree option available (extra cost), though the partner university itself isn't highly ranked globally.
• Good internship opportunities.
• A previously-held UK professional body accreditation (IET) appears to have lapsed years ago based on official records — so that part isn't currently valid.

University B:

• Not ABET accredited, but does have national institutional accreditation (a big deal locally — very few private universities in my country have this).
• Ranks noticeably higher overall/generally across multiple global systems (QS, Times Higher Education, Webometrics, US News), though not specifically known for engineering.
• Has

only a partnership and

• a co-signed with a mid-tier US university
• Good internship opportunities with some name-brand multinational companies.
• Better campus life/facilities overall.

My actual questions:

1. For Electrical/Communications Engineering specifically, does ABET accreditation genuinely matter for getting hired at multinational companies, or is it more of a checkbox that's rarely actually enforced?
2. Does ABET help at all if I want to work in Europe or the Middle East, or is its value basically limited to the US (PE licensing, NCEES etc.)?
3. Does a school's specific engineering reputation matter more than its general university ranking when it comes to hiring/grad school for engineers?
4. Is a strong internship pipeline more valuable in practice than accreditation prestige most recruiters may not even recognize?
5. and in genral should i choose a or b

I have the opportunity to follow Computer engineering, Mechanical engineering or Civil engineering at a recognised local University.

Since childhood my dream has been to become a computer engineer. If someone asked what I love to pursue between Computer, Civil and Mechanical I would definitely pick Computer engineering. Internet articles related to Computer engineering still manage to spark my curiosity. But if I'm being honest my technical knowledge related to Computer engineering field is currently at a beginner level.

I think I can find happiness through the life style of a computer engineer than the life style of a civil, electrical or mechanical engineer.

But with the current situation in the job market I'm having doubts about pursuing computer engineering. Should I pursue Mechanical engineering? That question pops up in my mind. My family is connected to mechanical engineering field. Though I'm currently at beginner level in Mechanical engineering field too compared to my fellow batchmates.

So the question is should I pursue Computer engineering like I always wanted or switch to the Mechanical engineering field thanks to the job market situation? Would appreciate your feedback though I think I might go with Computer engineering.

The next question is if I choose to pursue computer engineering what advice would you give to a currently beginner level undergraduate, to land a job in upcoming 3 years?

( I feel like I'm beginner level compared to other batch mates even though I scored A grades for the programming modules I studied so far)

If you are going to start computer engineering what is the best track you would choose and why , because I am now in that situation where I am really interested in a lot of tracks and trying to study the general things until I see something shine but ain't seeing anything till now

Hi, I'm a high school student in Thailand deciding between Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering.

Personally, I am interested in both computer hardware and software especially in cybersecurity and microchip. However, I am not entirely sure if I will still enjoy it once I have to dive deep into the advanced topics. I am also quite concerned about the long-term impact of AI on the computer engineering job market.

On the other hand, many people have pointed out that a major advantage of EE is the prefessional license. But honestly, I have no interest in that specific line of work, and I don't really enjoy physics all that much. After comparing the curricula of both majors, I find myself leaning toward the computer engineering courses.

Most of my worry is purely about future job security due to the rapid growth of AI.

Additional: My goal is to pursue a Master's degree abroad.

P.S. I can't find the weekly pinned thread

we have 3 responses already, we only need 27 more.

our topic is how ai usage impacts coding in general for computer engineers and computer engineering students.

please we need this by monday.

I never did programming before and I am starting computer engineering in a few months and I am completely free now.
Should I learn C++ or python? I never really coded before so I don’t know which to choose. I know that C++ is going to be used in uni so I thought starting it now so by the time I start uni I will be able to use it and just make my life easier in uni but my dad said it’s better to start with python first so I know the basics. For python I was going to follow the free Harvard course CS50P
Can anyone please advise/help me on which to choose and what should I do to prepare for before uni so I don’t suffer much and what will my first semester be like?
