The discussion centers on the pursuit of a master's degree in computer engineering by someone with a bachelor's degree in computer science, who lacks a physics background. Concerns are raised about the feasibility of transitioning into computer engineering without a relevant undergraduate degree. Participants suggest consulting academic advisors at potential schools to clarify admission requirements and explore options. It is noted that the individual may need to complete some undergraduate courses in computer engineering to qualify for a graduate program, but this is seen as a manageable step for those committed to the transition.
