yeah CH how fun now fine bro good
0:01
afternoon good afternoon uh what's the
0:03
name and Department my name is Bobby
0:06
from compter engineering okay nice to
0:07
meet you Bobby Computer Engineering so
0:10
what is uh Computer Engineering as a CA
0:12
all
0:13
about um Computer Engineering is a
0:16
course is people it's all about computer
0:20
but it's not really about operating
0:22
computer we also go hardware and
0:25
software yeah in Hardware is just about
0:28
the inside of the computer okay cute the
0:30
wirel those wires that are connecting to
0:31
the computer then the software is the
0:35
programs the content that are inside the
0:37
computer in the hardware we in computer
0:40
engineering here we mostly do the
0:42
hardware so we combine class with e is
0:44
electrical engineering have combine
0:46
classes then in computer engineering we
0:48
don't only basically teach about
0:50
computer we also teach about also how to
0:53
design create something connect wire
0:55
connect wire to to get a product you
0:58
understand then we can also
1:00
there was one practic we did on on a
1:04
which was not basically on computer but
1:05
it was just about wiring that we got we
1:09
got an art the art is for like it's for
1:11
blind people it can if you're blind it
1:14
can tell you like where this an
1:16
obstruction so that is also comp stent
1:18
also can design something like it's not
1:20
only not only part of computer this
1:22
thing yeah so like as a as AER we have
1:25
more Advantage than let not compare
1:28
classes like we have more Advantage cuz
1:31
you either learning you're learning two
1:33
things software and Hardware hardw yeah
1:37
then as a student like that's actually
1:40
something about Computer Engineering so
1:41
what the difference between Computer
1:43
Engineering and computer science as I
1:45
said before we computer science we into
1:47
two things software and Hardware so like
1:51
but them computer science mostly
1:53
software okay just software just
1:55
software like mostly software so like if
1:58
they more versatile in software like we
2:01
cannot we cannot exchange like if if
2:03
they come to us like if if we're
2:05
together they will pass Us in software
2:08
but if they come to Hardware we pass
2:10
them cuz they don't know really know
2:11
things about Hardware okay but we know
2:15
yes we know the software and the
2:18
hardware that's why it's called Computer
2:19
Engineering the engineering is for
2:21
building and the computer is for the
2:22
software them only computer science you
2:25
understand the point so why did you
2:27
decide to study Computer Engineering I
2:29
to comp comp was that because
2:31
of I know that I don't really I really
2:36
basically on practical I don't really do
2:38
all this I can sit down and start like
2:40
reading stuff like okay I see this I
2:43
like okay I want to design this thing
2:45
okay I like w this is I want to like
2:47
join some things and design but I
2:49
decided to do comp was because of saying
2:51
it gives me more time it giv me time
2:54
give me like things like I give me time
2:55
to explore but in computer science or in
2:57
like M software because just one place
3:01
and just like creating like just do some
3:03
do some design do some design but in
3:05
computer science like in computer
3:07
engineering be like who I like this
3:09
power bank see this power bank now I've
3:12
done I've done power bank yeah wow I've
3:14
buil a power bank yes and it works like
3:17
it works I won't really use it again I
3:19
pass that level I stage by stage I be it
3:22
myself as a comp that was one of the
3:24
benefits I like youo okay as a comp
3:26
student you don't have this benefit of
3:29
building like you don't even you don't
3:31
know the plus and minus wire but I have
3:34
the knowledge of like all this wire I
3:36
know what I can get the SEC like the
3:38
stuff the like things that are there I
3:41
can connect okay this is a negative I
3:42
put this not blue but go
3:45
try BL like blow class okay okay so how
3:49
many years is this course it's a 5 years
3:51
course 5 years course so do you guys go
3:53
for high yeah like in our 20 Level went
3:56
a compos like a general it now but we
4:00
not really
4:03
a
4:06
like Stu like went Lev then for level
4:10
for it again that is normal like you go
4:13
like that it is just like okay in before
4:16
I entered school I learned software I
4:19
learned software then this it now this
4:22
has opportunity to learn go more and
4:24
hardw to join the two then as as a
4:29
engineering student that is just the
4:32
advantage of it it is not going to GLE
4:34
at home good like don't okay your school
4:37
don't give you this thing this
4:38
opportunity to like go explore learn by
4:41
yourself that is what it does okay so
4:44
how how demanding is this course like is
4:47
it that when you are studying this
4:48
course you have to read like more day
4:51
and night or it has you guys have at
4:53
least free time to do all things ah why
4:55
you get like you have your free times
4:57
like okay they give us a project now we
4:59
group us they group like we have the
5:02
group each everybody 10 10 per group
5:04
okay yeah we they don't like they give
5:06
us chance like not the reading as just
5:08
like okay they give us an assignment to
5:11
do one project like that they very group
5:13
then already trying to buy the material
5:15
bu stuff it's not really stressful but
5:19
School stress like go we supposed get
5:23
now but like come yet that one is just
5:27
nor School stress one Jo in
5:32
school don't 5 school like
5:36
like one day okay okay okay so uh this
5:40
this course as a as a 5 years uh course
5:43
what are the opportunities that are
5:44
actually available for students let's
5:46
say after graduation like you can be a
5:49
one man bus like you can be a
5:52
billionaire a millionaire
5:55
before mostly any school go Bo wow any
6:01
like not because of because of we do y
6:04
or like the way we associate with each
6:06
other like
6:07
we yeah like we like if you go outs
6:11
which one which do now like like it's
6:13
not as a as student you can have the
6:17
privilege to work in your house like
6:19
with your laptop you okay if you then
6:22
you can go out
6:23
I my
6:31
I I don't
6:34
get but like another one like as a
6:36
student like in engine in engineering we
6:40
go like extra we take RS like we lose
6:43
money like we use money to get money
6:46
like as a student now you can meet your
6:47
fellow student be like you what do you
6:49
do you a lot of your students might know
6:53
they might know so like I have this idea
6:56
I this idea like yeah like as I last
6:59
week I lost up to like $2,000 just
7:03
because of just a single trade which I
7:05
learned in school like a fellow student
7:07
Tau me yeah like I lost it because okay
7:10
he learn from your he learn from your
7:12
loss then when I lost when I lost like
7:14
you bro I see you now makes me out if
7:17
all of my student now and my fellow
7:19
Cates like that's do it gives me time
7:23
like you have the time to do extra side
7:25
stuff like that but you just need to
7:28
connect to your call like
7:29
[Music]
7:33
laptop it gives you time to I that okay
7:37
okay like other engineering courses you
7:39
need to know mathematics and physics
7:42
right for computer engineering now mass
7:45
and physics we do physics again we don't
7:49
do physics again Mass so uh have you had
7:52
any like challenging moment like in ter
7:54
of academics from your first year to now
7:56
Myan Myan was Guy challenge was money
8:00
just got okay see students like B like
8:04
just like as a student now you got like
8:07
okay you haveing up with student the
8:09
only challenging moment
8:12
isy is s that one
8:14
out now
8:18
like nobody anybody
8:22
engineering for
8:23
engineering okay okay so uh lastly I
8:26
want to ask what advice do you have for
8:29
son that wants to study this course
8:31
you've already said something about you
8:33
learning the skill first before you get
8:35
in so maybe just expans it and the the
8:38
only advice I would give to anybody want
8:40
to study engineering Computer
8:41
Engineering as a whole like as a course
8:43
like yeah you don't you have made up
8:45
your mind engineer comp engineering just
8:50
be yourself before you come to school
8:51
like just be
8:53
yourself don't don't don't waste that
8:56
cuz guy want you if you you first J like
9:00
iite like two times but first J I write
9:03
I just I just write and writing sick
9:06
like before I the next j i that one year
9:09
yes learn programming so okay to learn
9:11
programming I wanted to ask what
9:13
specific what's Le progam like on front
9:16
front end design or web development like
9:20
I just like just use that one one you
9:23
like be your even though you not bu to
9:25
that standard you want school will help
9:27
you and you go come School mingle with
9:29
mingle with
9:30
University is not something that not
9:31
it's not a one man school like a you
9:35
people from like from a lot of country
9:38
lot of States you come to one place
9:40
people don't know like just me there I
9:42
learned this okay let me complete this
9:44
for you cuz it was in school I learned
9:46
react I met one of I met one of fellow I
9:50
JavaScript
9:51
to link up now if like we have this app
9:55
want want to create app like is your
9:58
student
9:59
okay this this okay Jo
10:03
apping is out lie for you is very very
10:07
with can make
10:13
money buy
10:17
now one great advantage of engineering
10:20
just even coming to school like school
10:22
school is not scam not really scam bro
10:25
like it's just like you KN what you want
10:28
yeah relas that is just Ming make people
10:33
that are reasonable
