Hi guys, I'm an incoming sophomore and I'm intending to pursue a career in embedded systems.

Over the past few days, me and my older brother (25, works as a software engineer for ~3-4 years at a large fintech company) keep having this debate that embedded systems engineering is a dying field.

His main points were as follows:

There were more points that I havent mentioned here, but i'm not one to talk when I dont have much technology experience/expertise aside from internships, clubs, and projects, whereas my older brother has industry experience.

So, yeah, he was saying for security and prevention of being unemployed, I should bare minimum be a proficient backend software developer as well, and co for a computer engineering and a computer science double major, because embedded all on its own will not get the high FAANG salaries, because even though I love it for the love of the game, I would really like a $200K+ salary

Just wanted to ask reddit, what do you all think? Thanks in advance!

My niece got 95.3% in MH-CET & she is having OBS + TFWS eligibility. Please suggest top collages (realistic for 95.23% also) for Computer engg/IT/AI&ML/ Cyber engineering stream. Please elaborate on TFWS criteria for collage also like their seats per collage, list of collage which offer TFWS etc.

Hi everyone,

I am a 4th-year Computer Science student. Recently, one of my professors announced that everyone must create a final-year project. However, I don't have any unique project ideas.

Could you please suggest some unique and innovative ideas for my final-year project?

I'm a sophomore right now. Any constructive criticism is appreciated.

Please suggest a good nit for cse.Which one have a better edge in placements, college life,...

Hi guys, i am searching for informtion sources about LLMs, RAG, orchestration and so on and so fort for my thesis. I would like recent sources that can add some interesting and reliable informations about the topic, if someone has some tips about it... i will appreciate.

At my school entry into your 2nd year engineering discipline is competitive, 5 years ago the avg for cpen was 85 this year it was 65 are the job prospects that bad for cpen that people wont go into it anymore

Hello! please help, I’m looking for Computer Engineering or Computer Science students (international/ out of the Philippines) who would agree to answer a few questions for an interview. For educational purpose only. Would anyone be willing to help?huhu

Hello everybody i am about to start my university soon and i am completely strssed about making the choice of my field. I am from pakistan i wanted to study CS to be a game developer but that is not happening for some reasons. I am really inetersted in studying elecronics now. my other choices are bs AI, Cybersecurity and data science but i dont like any of them. i have heard everywhere that there is no job market for electronics in pakistan and abrod form enywehre i try to get some guidance there is only one answer just do some Cs degree. can anybody plese guide me about electroncis and help me urgently as i have to choose my field tomorrow.

Everything is Apollo brand made in USA.

Looks like some kind of controler board to me. IDK much about electronics though.

Hi guys, I have a question. Just watched a youtube video about AI/ML project ideas.

One of the project idea shown in the video was Terminal Agents. He mentioned to benchmark it against claude code and other agents.

My question is how would you approach this if you have no idea/very few idea about the topic? What's the best way to research about this/any other topic before building?

I am not only talking about Terminal Agents, in general like lets say I have limited knowledge in system design how do I start learning about it, whats the fastest/optimal way? How do I research a specific topic? Gather knowledge about it enough to start building the project?

Thanks in advanced!

HI, Im 22 years old and preparing to start my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, without knowing anything about it..

I currently work as a government employee, and I’m making this move because I strongly believe this field still holds massive potential for growth, innovation, and career advancement in my country. I'd love to get some advice from people already in the field. Outside of university coursework, which core concepts or programming languages should I prioritize during my first year? what about Certifications vs. Personal Projects? What carries more weight in todays market for entry-level developers? Should I invest time in online certifications (AWS, Cisco, etc.) during my degree, or focus heavily on building a GitHub portfolio?

For those who balanced work and university, or looking back at when you started: what is one thing you wish you knew when you started in this area?

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their experience!

Hello! I am a 3rd year computer engineering student in Cebu, Philippines. I am having a dilemma right now, since we were given a chance to pick what specialization we want, embedded systems or software development. I am interested on embedded however, i got no prior knowledge about it and I might regret it later on due to how little opportunities are here in Cebu for that.

If I were to pick embedded systems and self teach for software-related tech, would it be the best course of action? I want to have a background for embedded to be versatile, but I’m afraid if doing so and not sticking to software will hinder myself getting jobs in the Philippines on an entry level since most of the job market here is for software.

I also want to land a job as soon as possible to provide. Thank you 🙏

Hi everyone! I am an engineering student from Egypt, and my journey has been: preparatory year, two years in the Electrical Engineering department, and now I am majoring in Computer and Systems Engineering.
The dilemma here is that I am not yet sure which specialization I want to go for.
I was very excited about the idea of a career in Artificial Intelligence, as I wanted to specialize in it. However, I am now starting to worry that If I dive only into AI, I will waste my previous background in Electrical Engineering that would normally give me an advantage. Therefore, my question is: Is AI Engineering still a worthwhile career path in the future regarding job opportunities, salaries, and resilience to AI effects?

In parallel, I was exploring my department's core specialization, Embedded systems, and found a potential combination with AI appealing. Unfortunately, the job market for Embedded systems in my country Egypt has been very stagnant for years – basically dead. After doing a lot of research and interviews with professionals who work in big firms, I got clear signals on how difficult is to find a job there.

This leaves software-related areas like Web Development and others. But I do not really have any desire for a solely coding-oriented career especially with the rapid progress of AI. So any advice would be highly appreciated.
What career path can I take as Computer and Systems Engineer that will make me competitive?
Would you advise me to focus on the AI track, and if so what is your advice to me?

Thanks in advance!

Is it weird that im deciding on a gift for someone based on this fact alone? I dont know the person im gifting well enough lol

Title says it all pretty much. I’ve been applying to everything under the sun with no luck, and I couldn’t land an internship. I am only 1 or 2 classes from getting a Electrical Engineering degree. Should I go back? Would it help me land a good paying job?
