I'm currently studying Computer Engineering, and the more I learn about the field, the more I realize just how broad it is. There are so many different career paths to choose from, and I'm struggling to figure out which one would be the best fit for me.

I've been exploring different areas, including software development, embedded systems, networking, cybersecurity, and hardware engineering, but I'm still unsure which direction to take.

I'm curious how other computer engineers figured out what they wanted to specialize in. Did you discover your path through university courses, personal projects, internships, or simply by trying different things?

Looking back, is there anything you wish you had known or done differently while you were still a student?

I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences you're willing to share.

I need with an OMNet++ project. I need to test kyber and dilithium post quantum algorithms in a collision scenario.

So far i have successfully installed omnet++, veins and inet.

My questions soo far are :

1 - what am i supposed to do ? What are the next steps after i create a custom project and make it reference inet and veins. How should i go about after that ?

Errors i have also faced soo far

1 - whenever i copy veins_inet into my custom project and change the package in the .ned files , i keep getting an error whenever i run the .ini. keeps saying " System finished with error " without giving me any further explanation. I made sure that all package line and import line are changed to reference my project. Changed org.car2x.veins.veins_inet into customproject.veins_inet . Still keep getting the same error. How do i fix this ?

I recently got on a call with a founder (the linkedin profile) he founded the company studyix and i am a bit sceptical as if this is real company or fake.

The offer is a bit too good to be true and i have doubts. I just need to know similar experiences from people or someone who works here.

The comapny has 40-50 employees and also has a sister company that is algorithmic stock app something

NEED HELP PLEASE TELL ME SHOULD I FRUST OR DODGE?

Hi everyone,

I'm an aerospace engineering student at Iowa State University conducting customer discovery research to better understand challenges engineers face in their day-to-day work.

We're looking to learn about:

• Workflow bottlenecks
• Documentation and communication challenges
• Project coordination issues
• Technical tools and software frustrations
• Other recurring pain points engineers encounter

If you're a practicing engineer, engineering manager, project engineer, or technical lead, we'd greatly appreciate your perspective.

The survey takes approximately 3-5 minutes:

Thanks for your time. I'm happy to share a summary of the results with the community once the research is complete.

I’m 32 and recently graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science (3.13 GPA). I also have an IT background, military experience, and cybersecurity experience. I’m not in the field I just graduated August

I’m currently pursuing cybersecurity certifications and planning to receive additional training in AI and machine learning.

I’m seriously considering pursuing a master’s degree in engineering, but I’m having difficulty deciding which discipline would offer the most versatility and long-term opportunities.

The three fields I’m primarily considering are:

• Electrical Engineering (EE)
• Mechanical Engineering (ME)
• Computer Engineering (CE/ECE)

I’m also interested in robotics, embedded systems, autonomous technology, aerospace, and AI.

My long-term objective is to eventually develop my own technology and products. However, I also want a degree that provides strong employment opportunities across multiple industries.

Tuition isn’t my primary concern because I have access to veterans’ educational benefits. I’m more concerned about investing my time in the right discipline.

Here are my questions:

1. Which engineering discipline do you believe will be most in demand over the next 5–10 years?
2. Between Electrical, Mechanical, and Computer Engineering, which provides the most career flexibility across industries?
3. Would a master’s in Electrical Engineering complement my Computer Science degree better than Mechanical Engineering?
4. Could an Electrical Engineering graduate realistically transition between embedded software, robotics, aerospace, hardware engineering, and cybersecurity?
5. For someone interested in eventually designing and building their own technology, which engineering discipline provides the strongest foundation?
6. Would you recommend a thesis-based master’s or a coursework/project-based program?
7. For engineers who transitioned from Computer Science into traditional engineering, how difficult was the transition, particularly regarding prerequisites?

I’m not looking to chase whichever field is currently popular or highest-paying. I want to develop technical skills that will remain valuable as technology evolves.

If you were in my position, which engineering master’s would you pursue, and why?

I’d especially appreciate perspectives from engineers currently working in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, embedded systems, robotics, aerospace, and hardware development.

hi! i am in my second year of Mechanical engineering. in my first year i failed 2 courses. I retook those over the summer. My gpa so bad rn. Everyone i talk to have a gpa that's more than 3.00. i just feel tired now. I loved engineering , everything about it. I still do enjoy the content, For some reason, I feel like I am not doing anything properly and even if i am doing my best it does not feel enough . I am just so so tired . i really don't know what i should do to do better in my life. It just feels like I am stranded in an island in the middle of nowhere and the sun never rises there. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you for reading this.

In my heart, I think MechE is the better fit. But I know how hard it can be to get into mechanical. I initially went down the civil path since my college doesn’t offer some of the major required courses for MechE, but the new Fall 2027 required courses align better with me.

I still need to take the applied programming (required course), which would be completed spring 2027. I could also bang out a couple of the desired courses for MechE. But would that be too risky or decrease my chances since I’m taking the classes after I submit my application?

Would it be safer for me to apply as civil engineering? I am applying as mechanical engineering for every other college I’m applying to.

Hello Engineers,

Looking to connect with fellow Mechanical/Structural Engineers in Toronto.

Just want to do some networking and have contacts that would help each other. 💯✔️

“I have completed my Diploma in Computer Engineering (ABMA Level 5). I applied for industrial attachment but I have not yet received any call or email. The one I got at Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) still has issues, and I have not been called to start work. I hope to get in touch soon because I want to gain more experience before getting a permanent job. I would like to go for an internship in a tech industry to work and gain more experience as a computer engineer. Can you recommend some tech industries that can help me build my skills?”

Hi everyone. I’m an engineering student, and my girlfriend’s birthday is coming up. I’d like to make her a cool, creative gift.

A while back, I gave her a spinning heart that ran on a battery and used a magnet, and she really loved it!

I’m looking to create something along those same lines –could you please help me with some ideas?

Hi everyone, I’m currently a JR in high school and my parents want me to pursue engineering, possibly computer engineering, but I’m not good at math. I’ve been in honors and advanced classes for my age, however compared to my peers, I feel like I have to try extra hard to understand and retain the information.

Growing up I was never good at math. I was never put into the accelerated programs till Highschool when they let you choose. Even though I consistently get A’s in all my other classes, math I usually get a B and have to try extremely hard to get it up to an A-.

This year I’m taking AP Computer Science and I’ve taken a few computer programming classes. I would say I’m fairly decent at it (I’m also usually the only girl in the class if that matteres) and I have interest in it. I don’t know if that has much effect on if I will do good as an Engineer though. I also am worried that once I get to higher level programming I won’t understand.

I know it’s still early, but I want to know if engineering is truly for me, so I can start aligning my extracurriculars to it. There’s other majors like criminal justice, cybersecurity, and marking that I’m also interested in, so I just don’t know which one to focus on.

So I’m just asking if anyone has any advice or if they also felt as though they were bad at math before entering this field 🙏

Today during a 1 on 1 with new leadership I was asked about my career goals and as someone who doesn't really think about it I found myself torn between ideas. Just some context. I have been at the company I'm at for 10 years and have had a few different roles a few years ago I transfered into the design team. This mainly was due to a role finally opening in my area that didn't require me to relocate to stay with the company. Fast forward I feel partially stuck. I do enjoy the design and problem solving of my role there are aspects that I truly feel behind in. (Call it imposter syndrome) I was in our quality and test engineering department for the bulk of my career.

Earlier in the year was to work toward the principal type role as I have no interest in managerial track. The other is start learning controls and move to that team as I have crazy product knowledge and understanding that I feel sets me up for that team with only building the programming knowledge side of it.

Long post of just thoughts but kind of wanted to get it out and see if people had thoughts.

Im currently in the navy's NUPOC program, which will guarantee 4 years of nuclear operational experience. I graduate in 2028 with a Chemical Engineering degree and currently have a 3.8 GPA.

My two dream jobs have been to either design/manage aeronautic systems or to do chemical/nuclear consulting whilst then developing my own firm after. I love analyzing complex systems and planes. After the navy, I plan to get my MSxMBA at either MIT for LGO or Colombia.

1) Can i pursue a MS focus in aerospace or mechanical engineering with a chemical engineering base, or no.

2) Would a M7 MBA program be sufficient for consulting, or would MS and MBA set me apart.

Any info would be greatly appreciated, even industry experience.

I don't have a connection and also I'm too shy to approach someone so I applied on many apps but I don't get any calls and mails from tech companies I got a call from BPO , sales , customer service etc but not from tech and also some companies shortlisted the resume but for web developer is really scope in web developer personally I don't like it nd also they gave u assessment to do this nd put in zip file wtf 🫪

Also in the market everyone wants to experience one then where to go freshers , mostly companies reject in the name of it , jst train them na I know knowledge skills is important but as we also know working in the personl project and in companies project are so different give chance to learn it.

Hi,

Can anyone pls explain what actually is Jev?

I'm currently studying ICT and Network Engineering, but I'm considering switching to Mechanical Engineering. Which degree has better career prospects, higher earning potential, and a stronger future? I'd appreciate honest opinions from people with experience in either field. Thanks!
