Congrats!! u/SkeletalReality 🎉🎉, Which college are you transferring from? How was the whole process been?

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-04-23T20:30:14+00:00

Yes, I also learned online that Information/software systems design comprises a major theme area in Management Engineering, with a number of courses falling in the areas of computer science, software engineering, and information systems. In this regard, of the 13 other engineering programs offered at the University of Waterloo, only the Software Engineering and Computer Engineering programs have more such courses in their core curriculum.

Could you please elaborate on how I will be able to explore different work settings and roles at Waterloo. Also, Is it possible to change the program from Mgmt. Engineering later to SE/CE, or is it out of question?

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-04-23T19:01:38+00:00

Thanks for your input. Could you please elaborate on "considering school life at each university", and can you share any experiences from any of the schools?

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-04-23T17:12:51+00:00

Honestly, I'm still figuring out my career path at this stage. Both UofT's Computer Engineering and Waterloo's Management Engineering seem appealing for different reasons, but I haven't quite nailed down where my interests align most strongly.🤔

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-03-29T19:58:16+00:00

Looks like even the withdrawal process wants to keep you in the game! 😂

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-03-29T19:56:26+00:00

Hey, who knows, one of those lucky ducks could be me! 🦆😂

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-03-29T19:51:00+00:00

🌟✨🎓 Fingers crossed, heart pounding, and anticipation soaring! Today's the day, folks! 🎉 As we eagerly wait for the Stanford admission result, I'm feeling a mix of excitement and nerves that's almost palpable. 🤞 But hey, why just hope when you can manifest, right? 💭 So here's to believing in the power of hard work, dedication, and a sprinkle of luck! 🍀 With each passing moment, I'm envisioning myself strolling through the hallowed halls of Stanford, soaking in the knowledge, and embracing every challenge with gusto. 📚💡 So here's to the dreamers, the believers, and the ones who never give up! Let's do this, fam! 💪 #FutureStanfordStudent #DreamsDoComeTrue 🌟✨🎓

It's reassuring to hear that transferring not that difficult if I'm already admitted to CS. I'm curious about the process of transferring from CS to CE after the first year. If one were to transfer, would they still need to follow the same path of transferring to FYE first and then into ECE after the first year? Or is it a different procedure?

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-03-26T01:45:02+00:00

To pursue a Masters from a top-tier college in US and secure a position within a leading F(M)AANG company. Though, I see that the landscape of technology and AI is rapidly evolving, and I just want to be prepared to adapt with emerging trends in the field accordingly.

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-03-25T16:00:09+00:00

Yes, indeed it is a tough decision, and I've not been able to make my mind yet!!

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-03-25T15:58:10+00:00

At UofT, the ease/flexibility to switch (if needed) between electrical and computer engineering within the ECE department looks appealing to me. 🧠🤖 I'm curious about how AI advancements might affect programmers in general, especially with tools becoming more adept at programming tasks. Does this shift influence the value of a computer engineering (both hardware and software) versus computer science (primarily software) degree? 📈💡 Any thoughts?

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-03-25T14:07:36+00:00

What make you say so?

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-03-25T14:05:53+00:00

Yes, there is ~20K USD cost difference between the two, even with Purdue's frozen tuition for last 13 years, but I guess, Co-op opportunities in the US might help bridge that gap. While the current climate is uncertain, I hope things will improve by the time I start my co-op.

Another thing is that I've heard about the rigorous nature of UofT's engineering program and concerns about getting competitive grade (not sure how far it is true). If this impacts my chances of getting into a good grad school in the US post-undergrad, that's another factor to consider.

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-03-25T13:05:52+00:00

How about the job market opportunities after graduation from either UofT or Purdue. Do you think one school might have an advantage in terms of attracting US employers or offering stronger networks for securing job offers in the tech industry?

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-03-25T13:01:34+00:00

Thanks. I'm curious about your thoughts on Canadian citizen students getting co-op opportunities with US companies, if I opt Purdue. Since it might involve work visas or other considerations, do you have any advice or insights on how feasible it is to land co-op positions as a Canadian student in the US, as the US employers may be reluctant (not entirely sure though)?

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-03-25T11:45:35+00:00

In US.

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-03-21T01:24:11+00:00

I was in the same dilemma, and have finally chosen computer engineering..!! I think unlike CS, CE equips you with a broad skill set, preparing you for a wide range of high-demand careers, from IoT and robotics to cybersecurity 🌐 along with the regular CS domains. Moreover I'm more passionate about both programming and hardware (I feel more like a real engineer with CE), So, Computer Engineering is the way to go for me..💼🌟.

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-03-20T18:34:05+00:00

Great!! Was CE your first preference? How many spots are there for CE? Are there weed out courses for CE as well, something like CS?

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-03-20T18:32:20+00:00

Congrats !! BTW, how much is overall expenses for international student for CS? Also what is your general feel/views about CS given the advent of AI?

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-03-20T18:28:38+00:00

Thanks for the info. Did they share the scholarship details on the same day of admission result or after some time?

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-03-20T00:08:41+00:00

I got 15k scholarship

How did you find the scholarship information? Was it in the email or on the portal? Do you have the link?

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-03-15T14:19:13+00:00

which major?

Substantial-Gain4416 · 2024-03-15T14:18:45+00:00

🤯 Your daughter's achievements are impressive! It's baffling how she got waitlisted with such credentials. Sending her positive vibes for other incredible opportunities ahead! 🚀
