Engineering Electrical Engineering to Computer Science

AI Thread Summary
Transitioning from Electrical Engineering (EE) to a Master's in Computer Science (CS) is feasible even with limited CS knowledge. It's essential to clarify career goals within CS, as the field offers diverse paths, from software development to user interface design. Prospective students should research specific programs, review prerequisite courses, and identify any knowledge gaps. Taking relevant electives during the senior year can help build necessary skills. Many individuals have successfully made similar transitions from EE to other disciplines, indicating that while challenges may exist, they can be navigated with proper preparation and focus.

I am currently in third year of EE and thinking about a masters degree
but the problem is here , I've developed a thing for progamming and networking and thinking about switiching to computer science
My question is this
Can i go from EE to as CS for masters degree without having much knowlegde of CS

short and sweet... yes you can.

The long answer is what do you want to do with your CS masters. There are still many paths you can take in CS. Do you still want to stay near the EE world, or do you want to work on front end user interface software. I recommend figuring out what program you want. Then look at the classes prerecs and find out where you're weak. then your senior year take an elective or two to strengthen those skills.

I know people that have gone from
ee->physics
ee->cs
ee-> ME

you can do it, but the classes you take and the specialization you pursue might make it a harder road.
 
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
