Best of luck! Do you know which area u want to specialize on?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

Probably computer engineering

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 4 points 9 months ago

Odds are strong.

[-] Aarrodri@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Lol Sherlock..For those that know computer engineering, there are sub areas of expertise ... CE is a vast field.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

There weren't specializations for it when I got my degree in it ... but all that does is reveal that I'm old.

[-] Binette@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 months ago

I wanna go in A.I., specifically reinforcement learning.

[-] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 9 months ago

reinforcement learning

HuggingFace has a good free course with certificate on their site. I took it a couple months ago.

Data structures and algorithms will take you to any corner of the industry.

[-] Sundial@lemm.ee 8 points 9 months ago

Best of luck!

[-] Modva@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Bright future! Stay on top of AI, it's at minimum a tooling revolution but of course potentially way more.

Best of luck!

Congratulations and good luck!

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Have fun! I'm excited for you.

[-] Macropolis@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Congrats!

Cheers 🍻

Good luck! I've got a computer engineering degree. It's a great field.

The two courses I find myself using way more then I expected in the job are DSP and linear algebra. If DSP isn't part of your core I highly recommend it as an elective. Having a deep understanding of Nyquist frequency folding and Fourier transforms is highly useful.

For study aids I highly recommend the Schaum's Outlines books for your subject. They focus on having a lot of problems with detailed solutions. They helped me a lot on understanding the how and why of solving problems.

Hope day 1 is going well!

[-] Binette@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

It was a bit borring since I kinda already knew how to code, but I managed to meet some old classmates!

[-] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

One week in, how's it going?

[-] Binette@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

I underestimated my executive dysfunction and ended up mixing up my schedule 😭. But at least I already knew the subjects of the classes. I'll make sure that doesn't happen again, though.

[-] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Mistakes are how we learn. Good job making a plan!
