Sandstone Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 I'm just curious, it's on my mind since my recent work has picked up assisting on some projects that might eventually turn into employment. How many of you work in this field as Computer Programmers, or Computer Engineers?
Sandstone Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 i am in school for it How far along are you? I'm graduating with my Associates in Science with CS specialization next semester. I am really hoping this is going to allow me to return to work finally. I've been feeling really anxious and miserable about not being able to do anything.... I will have 1 and half years left on the bachelor's after I transfer it. What specialization are you planning on going into?
Sandstone Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 KN[/member] is a computer engineer. Is that why he has a private server? Or is that totally unrelated lol...
SnapItCrackItPopIt Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 KN[/member] is a computer engineer. Aren't computer engineering and computer science completely different from each other?
bnmjy Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Aren't computer engineering and computer science completely different from each other? I believe there's much overlap, but engineering tends to have a more practical approach. Also, I was mistaken; KN is actually a software engineer.

Also, I was mistaken; KN is actually a software engineer. So he's a software engineer? Makes sense with computer science. From what I understand, computer engineering is both electrical engineering and software engineering combine, no?
K_N Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 I'm a software engineer and a computer scientist. I develop Machine Learning applications (weak AI) for business applications mostly.
PhilosipherStoned Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 I'm working as a cable contractor. With a degree in computer science it shouldn't be hard to get on as an actual tech for a company. You just have to take a few courses and get "state certified'' to do that, if you have your own truck that can carry a ladder there's probably plenty of contracting companies that hire uncertified help for disconnections/ collections in support of your local cable/internet providers.

K_N Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 What does it take to get started in AI? I don't know about AI in general, but for what I do you need a strong engineering background, fundamental understanding of data science (statistics, analytics, etc.) and it really helps to know some kind of relational logic system like SQL to frame things the right way in your mind.
