Upgrading from a degree in computer engineering technology to a degree in computer engineering typically requires earning additional credits rather than solely relying on work experience. While some institutions may consider work experience for credit transfer, most degree programs still require a specific number of credits to be completed at the school offering the degree. The discussion highlights that individuals with a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree may need to pursue further education to meet the requirements for a computer engineering degree, as work experience alone is generally insufficient for a degree upgrade. The exact number of years of experience needed for career advancement varies, but gaining relevant experience can enhance job prospects and potentially lead to opportunities for further education.
