Exploring Career Options: Computer vs Electronics Engineering

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the choice between computer engineering and electronics engineering, highlighting the advantages of computer engineering, such as higher salary potential, better placement opportunities, and a perceived higher level of difficulty. The individual expresses a strong interest in hands-on work with objects, which aligns with both fields, but is particularly drawn to the hardware aspects of computer engineering. They are currently applying for an undergraduate course at an Indian university and are reassured that many universities offer similar foundational courses in engineering during the first year, allowing time to make a more informed decision about their specialization.

I am a person who likes studying about fixing,joining and playing with objects.
However cnsidering the many merit points that computer engineering has over electronics engineering(in terms of salary,placement,level of diff.)..I'm confused.
Also the fact that comp engg. has some amount of hardware attracts me to it.
Please help!(I'm sort of a perfectionist.)

What stage are you in in your education? Many universities have identical courses of study in engineering for at least the first year... so I'm thinking you have lots of time to decide.

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"...

This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
