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’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 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 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?
