[quote=Anonymous]Also, a Computer Engineer or EE with several of the skills below will be well paid and readily employable. People with several of these skills are in shortage (AI will not change this and they have been in shortage for 20+ years because these are hard/rigorous).  Someone with several of the skills below will have no trouble finding a job. As with my above comment about CS upper-level electives, these are among the harder (more rigorous) topics than some others offered as upper-level electives in an ECE department

Verilog/VHDL programming (especially for FPGAs, but also for ASICs), Digital Communications, RF waveform design (especially CDMA and DSSS), EMI mitigation, SATCOM, Embedded / real-time systems, Matlab or Mathematica for numerical analysis, C/UNIX programming including either device drivers or Linux/BSD kernel internals or both). ARM assembly programming. Software Engineering.

Python is good for almost anyone to know, so worth learning, but it does not by itself move the needle. x86 CPUs are dying; the future is ARM (better performance, lower power, and leas expensive) Having several of the skills above will favorably move the needle at hiring time.

A Masters degree is not required, but it definitely can help if the student takes the more rigorous electives (see above). Masters degrees are pretty common in EE/ComputerE among people in industry -- often they are done part time while working and often tuition reimbursement is available from an employer. . [/quote]
