CS majors make about $50-60K starting their career. I'd say that's pretty decent for jobs you can largely do from in front of a computer.

Software, Nano Engineering. Probably Computer science could land you a good job.

what about computer engineeering ?

 

Help for the help

Computer engineering is probably closer to electrical engineering than programming. CS is more of a science major.

 

If you want an engineering major that's less scientific method and more engineering, i.e. the practical applications of code, how to maintain and organize code, etc, then software engineering is a better major.

Yes, but not in the sense you're used to.

 

That's more on the transistor and boolean algebra level of computer design.

Most divisions of engineering and IT pretty much guarantee a job.

what i have in mind personnaly is that you design a full product , lets say a gpu of amd

am i right?

computer architects take on either Computer science/Computer engineering. so if you're interested in that direction then you need bachelors in either one of those which is like 2-3 years.

No, no single person or company designs an AMD GPU. They have several engineers designing the GPU itself, probably computer engineers. The other components are sourced from OEMs by the distributor or by AMD.

Nano Engineering

 

What do nano engineers do? I've wondered that for so long.

 

 

Computer engineering is probably closer to electrical engineering than programming.

Yeah, computer engineering is usually mixed with electrical, for the first couple years. They're similar degrees.

They do embedded systems, typically. The people that design chips are people with pHDs

thanks i didnt know that , so is like a specialization ?

so if i finish as a computer engineer what will i do and is it a sure job major?

Nano engineering is pretty much the same as engineering but at the atomic, molecular and supramolecular levels. (0.2-100nm) It involves processing and manipulating matter at extremely small scales. At this scale materials exhibit properties and behaviour that differ from those of traditional bulk materials. So it differs from normal engineering. it takes a year of general engineering requirement (at UBC)

Thats like much of the earth and everything about it. like the sea's of the mantle and stuff; effects things can mean on the earth. that sort of stuff.
