Engineering with Computer Specialty

AI Thread Summary
A B.S. in Engineering with a Computer Specialty opens up various career paths, particularly in fields like Computer Engineering and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Key areas of focus for AI careers include programming, cognitive science, and specific subfields such as machine learning and assistive technologies. While AI research is often associated with Computer Science and Biology, there are opportunities within Electrical Engineering, particularly in departments that emphasize cognition and AI. Success in academic or industrial roles in AI requires strong programming skills and a solid understanding of AI concepts.

That could; it's mostly a combination of what you study, your skill set, and your interests. For AI, that's programming, cognition (and possibly biology / the human brain) and deciding where in AI you want to work (machine learning, assistive technologies, game AIs, dumb AIs, or the human-type sentient AIs).

For these reasons, researchers in AI are more heavily concentrated in Computer Science or even Biology, rather than say, Electrical Engineering (but within my own ECE department, there's at least one prof who works on general AI and cognition research). However, if you're looking to do this in an Academic or Industrial setting, you had better be at least somewhat versed in AI, and have excellent programming abilities.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
