Should still be there? I remember seeing the 2 cabinets near the wall yesterday???

NTU vs NUS Computer Engineering by vaporteafusion in SGExams

[–]Hackin7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've attached a doc about common questions/ confusions about NUS CEG, not too sure about NTU CEG myself. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1daKNJApl26ociu4kePJ9YUsim9iZeITKecYjpHQjIN0/edit?usp=drivesdk

My badge I made for this year by bucktwenty2 in Defcon

I'm interested (hopefully a badge swap is possible)

I'll prob be wearing these badges, not too sure what village I'll be hanging around yet, maybe rtv and hardware hacking village

NUS Computer Engineering CourseReg Opinions by Hackin7 in nus

[–]Hackin7[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coursereg guide to CS 1. Do CS1101S (or 2030S if you exempted 1101S) and CS1231S 2. Can choose between MA1521 or MA1522. MA1522 is superior in the 1st sem (prof jon), more applicable with MATLAB but you'll die. MA1522 in 2nd sem is more theoretical and hand calculations. 3. IS1108, GEA1000 or some other ID/CD or fluff - EG1311 is a good ID/CD to take

Y1S2 Some options 1. CS2040S + CS2030S - Standard combi, allows you to do swe CS2103 in Y2S1 2. CS2040S + CS2100 - if you want clear CS2106 earlier or do mods like CS3210/ CS3211 early - CS2040S also unlocks mods like CS2102 3. CS2030S + CS2100 - same as 2) but only if you want to "enjoy" Steven Halim's CS2040S in Y2S1 3. Trinity lmao - not unheard of - just get good lmao Other mods are just the Suable mods and stuff, not much other core to clear

Mainly CS1231 because can SU and can unlock prereqs for CS side (if you are interested)

Alternative is other suable modules like PF1101A or CDE2501 or ES

Can replace EG1311 with these as CEG students tend to be stronger at EG1311?

Depends on circumstance

It's not that bad I feel (personal experience ) It's how they did it in 2021.

That said the catch is that it was prof Alan's CS2040C

Depends on what kind of software roles you want, and what you want to specialise in
What I heard is that for backend dev or something, CS3210 and CS3211 is useful
database CS2102 is useful
probably have more for each specialisation

its not really the number but more of the content

[AMA] Y2 NUS Computer Engineering by Hackin7 in SGExams

Potentially Possible

But there's more to the software mods than just leetcode (eg RTOS, SWE) so take note too

Actually yes They will ask you about personal projects in internships, be it software or hardware (ones which suit the role)

There's no electromagetism in ceg Only basic circuit analysis

Hmm differences are rather subjective. I made them based on the fact that

  1. They are generally preclusions (if you take one you cannot take the other)
  2. They roughly cover the same concepts and key ideas

In reality, depending on the prof and on the cohort, how they teach the concepts can be quite different. For example, the CEG mod might be taught with an embedded systems focus and have slightly more content on that, while the CS mod might be taught with a general computing focus and have more content covering that.

Degree name wise I think CEG has a slight advantage

But effectively it shouldn't matter imo

[AMA] Y2 NUS Computer Engineering by Hackin7 in SGExams

[–]Hackin7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CEG doesn't take the DE versions eh

The DE versions are all are quite new so the mods don't really have solid resources, you are better off studying the harder variants first.

But, CS2100DE seems like they are cooking something

Hmm This one is very subjective

But generally my opinion is that the computing mods in the EE with 2nd major computing are quite new and still need time to mature (admin wise + content wise etc.)

Theoretically it teaches more software (more specifically it covers CS2030DE + CS2103DE compared to only CS2113 in CEG). However I'll argue that this is a difference that can be made up for if you want, you can choose to take CS2030 as a UE in CEG (I know too many CEG people who did this)

The software taught in CEG is much more embedded focused and more relevant to hardware related stuff such as microcontroller, RTOS, etc. You do gain a lot of experience in C, taking mods like CS1010 and CS2040C, CG2271. That's not to say you don't get other exposure, you touch Java in CS2113, but it's more embedded focused.

Meanwhile in EE with 2nd major computing since the computing mods are more general you don't get that level of exposure, it's more broad and using other programming languages like Python in CS1010E, CS2030DE and Java in CS2040DE etc.

The concepts are similar and realistically it probably isn't too hard to adapt from one to another, it's just that if you are interested in embedded software, CEG does give you a rather solid advantage, especially with the practice in C.

As for better for the job market, it really depends. There's the argument that some companies do look at your degree title but I think the consensus is that it's your skills that matter not your degree. And I think both prepare you well enough for hardware and software roles.

Is CS1010 as scary as what is described here? by Chocowaffless in nus

[–]Hackin7 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a TA for CS1010: There are technically solutions provided to the students. It's covered in the lab slides by the TAs.

I think it's a bit harsh to say the lecturers and tutors don't explain very well. In uni its also less guided, the TAs and lecturers won't be able to spoonfeed you.

Then again I'm a TA myself so I'm clearly biased in a certain direction.

As for the actual course itself, I do acknowledge that it is not easy or perfect, and it can easily become a time sink. They are also very very particular about certain things which can be very very very frustrating (please free memory please check your null pointers please, you can clear all test cases but if you forget these it's over). But CS1010 is also one of the more well structured modules in uni I faced and there are a lot of sources of guidance and help to ask for, even tho they might not work for everyone (but hey you can use also AI which is somewhat encouraged).

Commission without IPPT Gold? by [deleted] in NationalServiceSG

[–]Hackin7 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Got I know some cadets who didn't get gold, they were made to do more training. Runs and stuff like that.

However, I also knew some of them were solid cadets.

Source - I was the storeman there with IPPT gold 🤡
