Job description in computers and electronics

AI Thread Summary
Choosing between Computers and Electronics for engineering can be challenging, especially when trying to understand the curriculum and potential career paths. In Computer Engineering, students can expect to learn about programming, software development, data structures, algorithms, and systems design. Career opportunities include software development, game design, cybersecurity (e.g., creating antivirus software), and systems analysis. In Electronics Engineering, the focus is on circuit design, signal processing, and embedded systems, leading to careers in telecommunications, robotics, and hardware development. Understanding the specific courses and their applications can help clarify which field aligns more with personal interests and career aspirations. Exploring job descriptions and industry trends can provide further insight into what to expect in both fields.

Hi.
I am now to choose what I must study for engineering.
So,I wanted some help.Everyone says "you must take what you like and what you will enjoy doing and what will make your job enjoyable".
But,I don't know what I'll learn in engineering and what job I'll have to do.
(I have to pick among Computers and Electronics)
I took a look at the courses offered,but I can't just understand what I'll be taught just when I just look at a heading like:"DATA STRUCTURES".I am lost.
And what's even hard is to guess what job I'll be doing.
I now like Computers because I like programming games and fun stuff.
But they say there is a lot more in Computers than that.That makes me unsure again.

I would just like to know what a job in both these fields would be like,and what learning I may expect there.
Please give examples about the jobs in them("like creating an anti-virus" or something).
I would be very happy,if someone put these for me such I(guy going to do engineering)can understand.

Thank You.:)

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
