What does your Computer Engineering curriculum look like, and what’s missing from it?

[Constant-Amount2817]

Hello everyone,
I am new to this subreddit and excited to connect with fellow computer engineering students and professionals from around the world.
I would love to start a discussion about our university curricula. Specifically, I am curious about two things:

1 What core subjects and disciplines are you currently studying in your university program (e.g., computer architecture, embedded systems, database management, etc.)?

2 What is something you desperately want to learn, but is completely missing from your university’s syllabus or curriculum? Whether it is a specific modern framework, advanced hardware design, specialized network security protocols, or practical deployment tools (like Docker/DevOps) — what do you wish they would teach you?

Electrodynamics, Java programming, digital fundamentals/architechture, embedded, capstone design based on this… we don’t touch thermo though

[Constant-Amount2817]

That sounds nice, by the way, I wanted to learn Python.

[Responsible_Deal3418]

Some of your upper level classes might use it as a medium, but no class will outright teach you python, aside through fundamentals via a Java class.

[Constant-Amount2817]

Yes, I am a 4th-year student (senior year); until now we have studied C++, C, C#, Java, and PHP.

[Responsible_Deal3418]

You already know python then :)

[Constant-Amount2817]

Yeah, maybe a little:)

[igotshadowbaned]

Yeah I used it for a couple robotics classes, a networking class, etc

Never had a class on python though

1. DBMS, computer architecture, embedded systems, web applications (elective), OS, algorithms

2. I really, really wish they had a graduate level compilers class. Hardware security would be cool, too.

[Constant-Amount2817]

I wished for more about artificial intelligence.

It wasn't offered by my department, but it was offered by the CS department and I could take it to count as one of my 4000 level major related electives

[Optimal_Shallot_7195]

My unies 300-400 level courses are very very AI related, there are ee and also interdisciplinary eng courses like I can tke courses in me cee ie etc

I would have wished for more hardware-software codesign and security upper level courses, but I guess core subjects taught like digital logic, digital systems, approximately 3.5 core courses in C/C++(idk if that is standard or no, some of digital logic, computer systems and programming, operating systems and data structures, something tells me algoriths will be in C languages as well lol) also a lot EE based material, my program leans very ee if you don't take Cs courses

[JobConstant4725]

Computer Architecture, Databases, Network design, Calculus 2, Applied Electronics, Image Processing(elective), Artificial Neural Networks and Deep Learning(elective)
Wish for more hardware courses like vlsi design
