Im a student in IT. I have a diploma in Computer Studies. Most of my subjects are theories and programmings. But I finally found out I am more interested in hardware then software. Is it possible for me to continue Degree in Engineering?

Engineer also need to learn programming buddy , go review the course outline


Added on January 21, 2012, 11:32 amand make sure you're good in physics , engineering not fixing pc like that , you need to study much more detail and to create things out

yeah i know. but it focus more on hardware than software.
i have credits for physics and chemistry and b3 for maths.

i have A in physics but i never find interest in engineering = = , this is not the way to determine , i find my way into IT is because since small i fascinated with it oredi = = , and learn html when form 1 due to curiosity(saw blogger website has this thing) and programming when form 4

Ok. Good point though. But the problem im facing is that I dont like programming, not fascinate about it. The problem im facing is that. I dont wish to write programs as my career, Im afraid if i get a degree in IT. I can only get job that requires me to write pages of coding.

Why don't try to tell us why you choose IT at first??

Cos i like computer. I play computer games and stuff. I like to use it, but i dont like to program it. lol
Btw do you know any career path in IT that doesnt require programming? I might reconsider that.

I did some research system analyst sounds not bad. But which degree will lead to that career path?
bachelor of Comp Science, Information Systems, or information technology? Any idea? thanks in advance!
HAPPY CNY! x)

That's mean you just simply choose the course without knowing what it is . I jusst don't want you to make another mistake and again waste $$ , programming is the basic requirement to understand how a computer works , that's why engineer also need to learn , you wanna do something doesnt require programming , become a technician then . Don't always think the easy way , there's nothing easy in this world . Many people because like to play game go study IT causes IT course to be humiliated . I even heard many parents say IT is for people who cannot study go study one , in the end they will teach in school or be technician in a shop only . They don't even know in overseas many successful programmer out there , if not how come so many good software??

ahhh. True Story. :/
im just afraid you know that I might be in the wrong course and get stuck in that career.
Thats why i have second thoughts about IT plus i dont like programming. Cos engineering learn a little programming but they dont write them daily so i thought maybe i might be suitable in that field. But as an IT you have to learn like up to 3-5 languages. And you have to keep learning every year. I dont know what i want. sad.gif

If your diploma courses does have the engineering related subject, then it is ok, else you'd have to take foundation again ( not sure for computer engineering ).

Yeah now you know you don't like to program at all. Many guys and girls who likes computer thinks they like IT, but who turns up they just like to use it like any other users. I would recommend you to go engineering cause if you continue in IT, your job in the future has high chances to get into programming.

Although engineering does learn some basic programming language, but in future, your job does not necessary have anything to do programming cause the programming part will be handled by someone else, but have to make sure still =)

Thanks for your advice. smile.gif
But Im sure engineering will be hell alot harder. Cos of the calculus, , equations, statics, vectors. omg. :/
Life is really hard. Especially when you cant decide your career.

Is it possible for me to take cross discipline? between bachelor of engineering and comp science.
Im a diploma in Computer Studies student. But im more of a hardware than a software person.
