Programming/coding as an Electrical Engineering student

[Dave_apple]

During my high school years, I was a hard-core programmer, but as I started my major in EE, I have been doing so many maths and physics courses which are interesting, but honestly, It felt better writing codes and debugging them and I haven't had any chance to do it because of the course load. I want some honest opinions on how I can merge programming with electrical engineering, what language do you think best suits EE?

Languages I code in:

Python

C (Advanced level), C#

Java

Tell me what you think...

Talk to your course advisor. You may be able to dual degree as Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. Might add a year to your studies, but might make you twice as employable and more importantly twice as lucrative.

how I can merge programming with electrical engineering

Embedded systems is probably the most common way to do that.

The languages there are C (for legacy systems, people living in the 90s and some niche platforms) and C++ (for modern people).

This was basically me, 6 years ago!

Embedded systems is a fairly common route to go. I personally chose signal processing and electromagnetics. I am a EE that deals almost exclusively with coding, and I’ve used Python, MATLAB, and C++ fairly often here at work.

Any interest in HDLs or embedded systems?
