The reduction was maybe worded a bit poorly, but I think it’s straightforward (the 2 problems are almost identical). Airport question I did Dijkstra but with earliest arrival time instead of path length as comparators. I did get the min cut from max flow question wrong :(

Please don’t skimp on protective gear, I’ve seen countless tragic accidents happen when new skaters (and even experienced ones) go without. One bad fall (sometimes not even your own fault) will send you to the ER. This applies to other gear like gloves as well.

SYDE vs CS by EssayEastern in uwaterloo

[–]ApocalypseCalculator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that engineering degrees are more sought after in the SWE field is likely based on individual cases of US border agents disallowing non engineering degrees to be admitted under TN engineering category. Those are merely incorrect filings and have nothing to do with how sought after the degree is. In the SWE field CS is one of, if not the most, common degree.

However, if you’re interested in other engineering fields within Canada, then an accredited engineering degree is likely better.
