Career Pathway Project

Hello. My name is Ramon Otero and this is my

career pathway project on computer engineering.

Now. What is computer engineering?

Computer engineers mostly research design, develop and test computer systems

and components that are inside them which are circuit boards,

processors, memory devices, networks and routers.

They mainly focus on creating new computer parts that are

more superior than the last ones.

Either they make more computer parts or systems to go

with them now why I chose this career.

So the reason why I chose this career is because

I was around computers for like mostly my whole life

and I also built one myself.

So I kind of know a lot about how to

make them and also how to like use them.

But yeah and I also have computer programming which is

kind of similar to this.

So I kind of and also I really like that

class so and that's really the only reasons why I

chose this, but I already know what is to come

in this career, but I'm just willing to take it

college education for computer engineers.

So if you want to go to college, well obviously

you have to, but if you want to focus in

this education you have to get a bachelor's degree in

software engineering or electric engineering.

But you do have to get a bachelor's degree in

computer engineering.

But if you're willing to go like in the higher

ups to get a job like really quick, like straight

out of college, probably you'll most likely have to get

a bastard bachelor's degree in mathematics or computer science Salary.

So the average salary for a computer engineer is about

90 k.

200 K.

A month.

I mean oh my God, a year, sorry, but For

a month it's about 6000 to 7000 a month.

Which is a lot if you're one of those people

that got a mathematics degree or computer science degree.

So that would just be a lot if you get

a job instantly advantages.

So the advantages of being a computer engineer is you

kind of have like the free space to give out

your ideas or like give your mind to the other

people. So like everybody will have a chance to like

speak and like talk about what can improve, what can

be better or like what to work on.

And also you don't really have to work at a

designated workspace.

It's mostly like if you have the utensils and the

stuff to work at home you can work at home.

But if you obviously don't they will most likely be

like a warehouse or like a building to work in

with other people.

But it's mostly like if you have it then just

go home.

But mostly you just need like you need a computer

obviously, but you're going to have to have the computer

components to work on in program with.

Which is kind of going to be rough now.

The disadvantages of being a computer engineer.

Uh huh.

Being a computer engineer.

Kind of, it kind of sucks not even going to

lie. It kind of sucks just because you mostly have

to just keep working like mostly every day just because

you have to consistently create new computer parts.

You need to research new computer parts, research new systems.

You just have to stay on it like most of

the day.

And yeah, that's about it.

The responsibilities of being a computer engineer for computer engineer,

you have to keep on developing software systems and updating

Hardwar hardware and also designing new equipment.

See this is this is also on one of the

disadvantages because that takes like days of or weeks of

work. So like you wouldn't really have that much free

space or like free time to go like I don't

know, like on a vacation or something like that.

But yeah, it kind of this kind of just takes

up your day like a lot and it's just really

rough to just go around and figure out a bunch

of stuff, but obviously gets better as you like improve

and work longer.

Now. These are some coats that I found that I

kind of like and relate to.

So first quote is to go faster, slow down.

So in computer engineering this takes a lot because you

obviously don't want to rush through obviously computer parts because

let's say you create the best computer part known to

man. But if you go too fast you might accidentally

screw up that computer part or just do something into

like internally that would just screw it up and maybe

never be used again.

So it's all just take your time.

Don't rush through things like your boss will tell you

what's the deadline or like the person that is running

that program that you're going to be working on just

they'll tell you when they need is done or like

how long you have to do this.

But it wouldn't be anything that measure to get you

really active and rushed through the whole thing.

This is the second quote that I found it is

by uh forgot the author that made it.

But it is, design is not what it looks like

and feels like design is how it works.

So that basically means if you didn't understand that, that

basically means that design, it doesn't really matter how it

looks because it could look really ugly or really pretty.

But if let's say if it looks like really ugly

like the computer part is like smoking and stuff and

it doesn't even look like it's a running properly.

But you plug it in to see how it works.

And this runs like so much better than all your

computer parts and stuff.

So it's obviously that that takes the main focus on

like what it looks like.

It doesn't matter what it looks like and feels like

it just matters how it runs on your computer or

on your device.

That basically just makes it better for the user.

And that is about it for my presentation.

Thank you for watching and I will catch you guys

later.
