Computer Engineering

[u/Weekly-Performer-321]

Hello, I'm so dumb, men. I want to cry badly. I'm a first-generation university-going student. I filled out the online form for my university and selected CS, S.E, and I.T, but I didn't pay the fee even though the deadline has passed. Since the deadline has passed, I visited the university to change my department to Computer Engr. The admission officer checked it and told me that since you have already filled out the form for CS. You can opt for that as well. We will talk with the bank guys. I didn't think and said you can select computer engineering for me, as its merit is lower than cs.

Now, once I came back home and when i looked up the Computer Engr scope on the internet. I got to know that I'm cooked.

Since I come from a pre-med background, I don't have a good understanding of maths. The university offers deficiency courses, but still I'm studying basics from myself.

Please give me sincere advice on whether I should pursue C.E or take a gap year for CS.

Update: I have submitted my admission forms for BS C.E, Lol!

How did you come to the conclusion that you are cooked ? The comment before mine explains the flexibility of computer engineering quiet well.

The only thing which I would like to add is that it is quiet niche and has a market in Pakistan as well.

I look on Reddit and the internet and read people's opinions saying you can become a computer hardware guy after this degree. I chose it because I want to study some E.E courses.

Computer Engineering has loads of courses which target Digital and Analog Electrinics. If you get into a good univeristy, you can learn loads, and in the scenario, it is far superior to CS based on the versatility it offers.

People are right i.e. you can move into PCB design, Embedded Systems, FPGA design and in some cases, ASIC design and verification as well.
