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 'What major topics are there in arithmetic and what order to learn them?'

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...

Thread 'Help with my plan to get into research about bound states'

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...

Thread 'What is computational physics and what is the best way or method to learn computational physics?'

guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
