What Is Computer Engineering?

[imegatrone]

Good, I like that you share this video, I wish success always Students at Iowa State tell you what computer engineering means to them.

[captainkingable]

Notice how this video does not have 240p. Those computer engineers know what we want. 

[JohnnyAKAghost]

Going to school for this.

[soccerdecopa]

im too dumb to major in this

[Iattacku]

my dad is completely against me wanting to become a computer engineer. He says they dont make money. What should i do

[xlegionx]

@Iattacku Ignore him. Because a) money shouldn't matter if you love what you do and b) he's wrong anyway so it's irrelevant.

[fromyeo]

Nice video

[KirbyPwnz13]

@FieryPhoenix7 Then I must be gay. 

[FieryPhoenix7]

@KirbyPwnz13 Indeed. It's a journey of self-discovery. Such a fun, fun thing, ain't it?

[KirbyPwnz13]

@FieryPhoenix7 Oh indeed. -_-

[volikoto]

question: if you want to make programs to control a moving device or mechanical devise what would be the course to pursue? is this one?

[hosdih]

how many years does it take in the colleges/universities for computer engineering

[FireStormBaller]

@hosdih Bachelor degree, 4 years.

[hosdih]

@FireStormBaller cool

can you give me any advice that can help me in computer engineering

[FireStormBaller]

@hosdih It's always best you talk to your school about it because some are a little different.

[volikoto]

@hosdih in our country it takes 4 to 5 years...

[CrimelabS]

I am a graduate of Computer Engineering which is a good course but is currently over shadowed by Information Technology degree. Information Technology is more in demand in my place than a computer engineer, which ranks LAST to the demands for Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, ECE, and Civil Engineering.

[TheFranky905]

@CrimelabS wait why ahhh im studying to be a computer engineer so i shouldnt go for it ?

[CrimelabS]

@TheFranky905 its up to you... in my exp. if you really want Comp. Eng. the thing that you most likely to encounter is MATH, in general you have to love it... second is learn "low level programming languages" high level languages are mostly mastered in IT and CS ...learn to read HEXADECIMAL... yep we communicate closer to the machine language the 1's and 0's. youll need them soon in robotics, PIC programming, and may be on your school using an old school HEATHKIT if your school still uses one...

[CrimelabS]

@TheFranky905 and the heathkit i am reffering to is the Microcomputer learning system...memory mapping...and other stuff i forgot about logic circuits...and lastly aside all those headache comp eng has a larger ratio of girls compared with the other eng. courses, about 1/4 so you get to enjoy the view much more in the classroom.

[sddfs777]

this is my dream job!!!!!

[KuranSaber]

I'm 16.. in college.. and studying BS Computer Engineering yeaaaah xD

[mandieyf]

I want to go there, couldn't get on the website, google chrome kept saying oops

[DebtCreditRepayment]

Amazing information on Computer Engineering. I thing the life on computer engineering if so great.

[rocs2hrd4u]

omg why do all engineers look like dorks

[noobsaibotmk10]

*sees hot girl at 1:33:*

*automatically majors in Computer Engineering in hopes to work with other girls like her*

[hosdih]

do i really need to be good in physics to go to computer engineering ?

[ajhrockerboy6]

@hosdih yes. physics 2 covers electricity and magnetism which is the basic building block behind all electrical devices.

[hosdih]

@CrimelabS thanks man

is there any advice that can help me

btw im in the 11th grade

[chrisredfed]

im 12 interested in this stuff :D



[madara435]

I'm a programmer and the only thing that stops me from programming is Starcraft 2 :D

[iorify]

i just got into Comp engi. this video is very exciting.

[freedybox]

i am 13 is BS in comp eng easy?

[ajhrockerboy6]

I'm getting a Bachelor's degree in computer engineering @ UNM. I'm currently Junior status.

[MrThomasEngg]

MCA is equivalent to ME (Computer Science and Engineering)

MCA with B.Sc. (Computer Science) background is equivalent to ME (Computer Science and Engineering).

B.Sc. Computer Science (3 Yrs) + MCA (3 Yrs) = 6 Years.

BE Computer Science (4 Yrs) + ME (2Yrs) = 6 Years.

MCA and ME both are equal.

Companies giving equal priority to both MCA and ME.

Master of Computer Applications MCA and Master of Engineering ME, are treated Same for jobs and there is no difference in the competence ratings.

[CrazyKhoo]

software made hardware interesting xD!!!!!!

[BacklTrack]

@CrazyKhoo That wasn't funny. Shut up.

[curlybro7]

Is becoming a computer technician better and faster?

[benmen7551]

What subjects are required to become a Computer Engineer?

[ISUengineering]

@benmen7551 A good list of the courses in the program can be found here: registrar.iastate.edu/catalog/­2009-11/courses/cpre

[sddfs777]

@ISUengineering I am interested in becoming a computer hardware engineer and i want to know how do computer hardware engineer make money?

[talabastardo]

@benmen7551 a lot of math :D

im on 1st year of CPE and bro its really hard you need a lot of focus ! :D but really this is what i love i hate math

but i love computer and technology

i love what im doing thats the important thing :D

[001Raksha]

does computer engineering include game programming?

[RamiFreedom]

@001Raksha well, you can develop your self by getting more into software..but it self, no.

because it's more like a field of computer science

[lloydi12345]

hi ISU engineering, your video is really precise in explaining things about computer engineering. I took some clips of your video for my video presentation explaining what is computer engineering, it is not an advertisement for a school but just an explanation of basics in computer engineering. I hope I am not violating any :)

[AlphaKennyBody2]

Hi ISUengineering , am I able to get a decent job as a computer engineer if I just study it in College? Thanks a lot if you can reply.

[ISUengineering]

@AlphaKennyBody2 Our engineering programs are very hands-on. You will graduate with experience comparable to that of engineers currently working in the field. This is not a 'books-only' program. In addition, our Career Services office is second to none. 68% of our Spring '11 graduates had been placed "in-profession" before the end of the semester, meaning they are already working engineers, grad students, in the military, etc.

[MrShadeviperx]

is it hard to find work as a computer engineer, is there the looming threat of americans being replaced by engineers from india/china?

[ISUengineering]

@MrShadeviperx Each case, each student, is different. Here are a few ISU specific statistics:

• At Spring 2011 graduation, 68% of graduates are In-Profession (employed, enrolled in grad school, etc.)

• Employment of ISU graduates is up 13% over one year ago

• ISU's College of Engineering has one of the best Career Services offices out there to help our current students and graduates for their entire professional career!

[MrShadeviperx]

How much money can an experienced computer engineer with a masters degree make?

[ISUengineering]

@MrShadeviperx : Bachelor's degree grads of our program have average starting salaries of more than $58,000 per year, master's degree grads get average starting salaries near $80,000, and PhD grads get average starting salaries near $100,000 per year.

[ECpEDepartmentISU]

@ReconMasterGamer Problem-solving skills and math and science skills are important. If your high school has programming or electronics courses, we recommend taking advantage of those courses, too. Iowa State University's College of Engineering recommends 4 years of science classes (including biology, chemistry, physics, and a lab experience) and 4 years of math classes (such as trigonometry, precalculus, analysis, calculus, or advanced math)

[Khan1103]

monthly salary?

[ECpEDepartmentISU]

@Khan1103 Average monthly starting salary for our graduates over the past few years is near $4,830 for BS degree grads, $6,670 for MS degree grads, and $8,330 for PhD grads.

[hamishina123]

my course is computer engineering

[blazerman159]

i am wondering how much they make per hour and year

[ECpEDepartmentISU]

@blazerman159 Bachelor's degree grads of our program have average starting salaries of more than $58,000 per year, master's degree grads get average starting salaries near $80,000, and PhD grads get average starting salaries near $100,000 per year.

[Velocihorse]

Nicely edited video.

[mahmoudbasho]

 I like it.....I'm a Computer Engineer.....

[saluege]

i am 17 and i can code a private server in c++/winsock. learnt c# at 14 and moved to c++ a year ago. i want to do a job in electronics but dono the different types of jobs in this area.also cant choose whether to go for game programmer or computer engineering.

[DudeSkates3419]

@saluege computer engineer, chances of getting payed well are ^

[saluege]

@DudeSkates3419

does this ^ mean high?

[DudeSkates3419]

@saluege yes, plus if you do computer engineering you may also have a chance to get into the gaming business as a programmers

[DudeSkates3419]

@DudeSkates3419 programmer*

[tefras14]

This is a hard study but its worth it

[YoungMoney835]

This is so my job, i'm 15 and i already know some what C++ and i know how to build a PC. :)

[ImAllFact]

@YoungMoney835 Good for you for learning C++, not many 15 year olds do that (well i sort of did, but whatever). As for building a computer, that is basic knowledge.

[irwnki]

computer in future man,,

i agree with u..

[ECpEDepartmentISU]

@SecularTechnology Yes, at ISU computer engineering undergrads take C and java, and if they enjoy it, they can choose to learn other programming languages

[YoungMoney835]

@ECpEDepartmentISU So if you go in to college you have to take that class there of java?

[ISUengineering]

@YoungMoney835 Yes, at ISU you would learn java as a computer engineering major. You can see more info on classes CE majors take at ece.iastate.edu/academics/cour­ses.html (see the core classes, 4-year degree plan, and course description links).

[YoungMoney835]

@ISUengineering Ok thanks.

[kenkenka]

URGENT!!! Can anyone tell me what is the difference between CE & CS???? Which one is better?? Which one has a brighter future in career?? thanksalot!

[ECpEDepartmentISU]

@kenkenka In brief, CE combines electrical engineering and computer science, and computer engineers design and integrate hardware with software and embedded systems in electronic devices. CS is the study of theoretical foundations of information and computation, and computer scientists develop solutions to computing problems and work with programming languages, operating systems, algorithms, and computer theory. Both have great career prospects. More info at computingcareers.acm.org

[SecularTechnology]

@ECpEDepartmentISU Do you have to learn programing languages to become a CE?

[ajhrockerboy6]

@SecularTechnology yes. i had to take two terms of C++. becoming a compE requires at least one programming language.

[buckethead10Alex]

it might be a hard major but the people that specialize in computers make a lot of money

[mazmier]

This is not an easy major. You have been warned.

[virokill132]

@yoguesswhozM3 you must feel special lol

[nomchews]

@yoguesswhozM3

Yeah he was being a smart ass, but there's merit in what he's saying.

I'm doing AP math and coming first in software design at my school and well.. i'm worried about this course (my cousins told me the math you have to do along with the electrical engineering units is very hard and they're smarter then me). If you set your mind to it and it's your goal i can't see why you can't do it though.

[yoguesswhozM3]

im going in to this do you have to be like really book smart??

[virokill132]

@yoguesswhozM3 i you have to ask then you better not do it

[supernoobice]

@yoguesswhozM3 not really... but you need to love knowledge. As the field changes every 3 months. Its very fast paced you need to keep up and read every now and then. I'm a computer engineer.

[demonicowl]

So people not knowing what you're talking about is fun? lol

Fun figuring out bugs? That's my least favourite bit!

I don't think that this is most peoples idea of fun, but luckily I'm not one of those :D

[inflatable02]

nice!

[RebornAc3]

This is epic!
