Hey there, fellow computer engineers/scientists! ππ» How did you feel after getting a degree in Computer Engineering/Science? Personally, I love being part of the tech world and having the ability to analyze systems, apps, games, and imagine their underlying code. It’s such a cool feeling, isn’t it?
Here are a few ways I felt after earning my degree:
– Empowered to tackle complex problems πͺ
– Excited about the endless possibilities in the tech industry π
– Proud of my accomplishments and hard work π
What about you? How did you feel? Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below! Let’s inspire and support each other on this amazing journey. And remember, continuous learning and staying updated with the latest trends in tech is key to success in this field. Let’s keep growing together! ππ #TechCommunity #SuccessStories #ContinuousLearning
I felt that I understood how computers work at a fundamental level, and how code is actually being executed at the very deepest levels.
I felt that I learned how to learn, and picking up tools and frameworks became much easier.
I also felt very confident in my ability to hit the ground running as a software engineer because I did 3 internships that really helped me put theoretical knowledge to use.
Overall it was tremendous benefit and I am 110% glad I did a CS degree that focused on theory.
I felt that college was just as much of broken institution as I thought it was before I started my degree. 4 years of it didn’t change my opinion at all.
>How did you feel after getting a degree in Computer Engineering/Science?
Not much different. My Diploma in Business Administration made a real difference in my thinking.
Iβm doing computer engineering (junior currently) and I love it so far! College is a great way to take all the jumbled up mess of STEM and turn it into a pathway in which to walk. It also has taught me a lot about how to learn things in good manners and how to think, which has helped me solidify my self study habits. Not to mention a degree also gives you a well defined career path and lots of things that supplement it, such as projects, research, and competitions. Degree is very worth it, even with student loans and finals trauma LOL
Anxiety – because I cant even get a joke 9 months after graduation even though i’ve been programming (non-corporate) for about 10 years prior to going back to university, and 3 years in cybersecurity (actual job) prior
But that aside – secured, because I have my paper + extra knowledge that I may or may not already knew
Studied adjacent to CS, but honestly? I suddenly felt less prepared than ever. I wasnβt being led by the hand through coding assignments, or having classmates helping me study. I was completely alone.
I feel better once I got my foot in the door, but I still feel like Iβm the worst developer in the room. I technically am, since Iβm the newest. I just donβt understand how people appear so confident and learn something so well.
Solving problems comes slow for me and I still struggle with things I did in school.
After years in labs, I felt that working in science pays about as well as pumping gas, so I went *”Later bitcheeeees!”* and went on working in the private sector π
I felt that tomorrow I had to go to the same job as yesterday. And what you described appeared in the second year of study. The first course was general education.
It’s ass honestly. Not finished yet, only been through my first year so far, but I’ve browsed the syllabus for the rest of the degree and spoken to the older students about it.
You can self learn most of this stuff by yourself and it’s pretty boring. I suppose the degree will be useful because it looks nice on the CV.
The same but now I have a paper that says i learned a thing.
Mechanical engineer here who works as a software engineer.
So I can’t comment on the computer engineering degree part but I imagine the feeling is universal for all STEM fields.
I’ve been working as a firmware/software engineer for 10~ years now mainly on cameras and their testing equipment (all the way from wafer testing to calibrate and QC).
My previous ME experience helped greatly when it comes to automation and understanding of other issues (mainly thermal related) that I had to handle over the years… Something I’d never get at a pure CS degree.
My only official CS related degree is a 6 month accelerated diploma (embedded) that was just to get my food in the door really, rest is self learn over the years from project needs.
i might have brain damage because I dont remember anything from college π, but thats on me
Currently I am revising my fundamentals and focusing on java fullstack & DSA to get me prepared to start applying (long way to go tho….so many things to learn π©)
Honestly, I feel my degree is useless other than it allowing my job application to not be auto-rejected
