Best of luck! Do you know which area u want to specialize on?

Probably computer engineering

Odds are strong.

Lol Sherlock..For those that know computer engineering, there are sub areas of expertise ... CE is a vast field.

There weren't specializations for it when I got my degree in it ... but all that does is reveal that I'm old.

I wanna go in A.I., specifically reinforcement learning.

reinforcement learning

HuggingFace has a good free course with certificate on their site. I took it a couple months ago.

Data structures and algorithms will take you to any corner of the industry.

Have fun! I'm excited for you.

Bright future! Stay on top of AI, it's at minimum a tooling revolution but of course potentially way more.

Best of luck!

Congratulations and good luck!

Good luck! I've got a computer engineering degree. It's a great field.

The two courses I find myself using way more then I expected in the job are DSP and linear algebra. If DSP isn't part of your core I highly recommend it as an elective. Having a deep understanding of Nyquist frequency folding and Fourier transforms is highly useful.

For study aids I highly recommend the Schaum's Outlines books for your subject. They focus on having a lot of problems with detailed solutions. They helped me a lot on understanding the how and why of solving problems.

It was a bit borring since I kinda already knew how to code, but I managed to meet some old classmates!

One week in, how's it going?

I underestimated my executive dysfunction and ended up mixing up my schedule 😭. But at least I already knew the subjects of the classes. I'll make sure that doesn't happen again, though.

Mistakes are how we learn. Good job making a plan!
