computer engineering is going to be about hard coding microchips and other hardware devices. assembly language with 0s and 1s everywhere. how are you with alternative number systems? especially binary and hexadecimal. relative logic processes?

you'll find a good base in math to be quite advantageous to graphic design as well.

I understand hexadecimal, I never was taught binary or other programming (it would help if my course that is supposed to teach us this actually did...) So I'm more confident in that area. Civil and Mechanical might not be my area of expertise or interest, even if computer engineering involves less math and more logic, I am fine with that.

mr dave 02-11-2009 06:41 PM

it'll likely be more math through more twisty logic hehe

BoopieJones 02-11-2009 06:41 PM

Sounds right up my alley.

Holy crap, the people under 20 are up to 47.5% .. BJ's previous statement is about to come true!

My impression of computer systems engineering is that it's half software and half electrical.

The calculus involved in higher level electeng can be fairly advanced from what I've heard, but as a software engineer, the requirement for calculus in my life basically dropped off after my general eng. year.

Software engineers have much more use for discrete mathematics than calculus... linear algebra, formal logic, algorithmics, statistics, graph theory, enumeration, proofs and pure maths in general are all useful.


So I would guess that computer engineers get the best of both worlds. For me, pure maths >>> calculus >>>>>>>>>>>>>> stats.

14. uhhh.

14 with crane 'n anchors.

^^Anchors definitely dropped yet?
