Is There a Pathway for CS Graduates to Pursue Computer Engineering?

[dijkarte]

What would be the best option for a computer science graduate to have a degree in computer engineering?
I've been looking for such a program that allows CS graduates to peruse a degree in engineering by studying only the core engineering courses they did not take in their first degree. However after inquiring about this program it does not seems any university is interested in making it available. This means I will have to apply as a high-school student with no consideration to any experience or courses I've taken, except for a quite few subjects that I may get accredited for, but it does not look like it's happening since they have a time-limit on how long it has been since I've taken such courses. This is ridiculous that universities still think in stone age no advanced learner programs offered, very strict for the benefit of profit making and for the sake of international student reserved seats.

I'm still hoping that I could find a university in north america that makes sense of their offers.

I understand your frustration with the limited options available to computer science graduates who want to pursue a degree in computer engineering. It is unfortunate that many universities do not offer a program specifically tailored to this path, as it would be beneficial for both the students and the field of engineering.

However, there are still some options available to you. One possibility is to look for a university that offers a dual degree program in computer science and computer engineering. These programs typically allow students to earn both degrees in a shorter time frame than if they were pursued separately. Another option is to apply for a graduate program in computer engineering, as many universities do not have strict requirements for undergraduate degrees in specific fields.

Additionally, you may want to consider taking online courses or attending workshops and conferences to gain knowledge and skills in the engineering field. This will not only enhance your understanding of the subject but also demonstrate your dedication and passion for the field to potential graduate programs.

It is unfortunate that some universities prioritize profit and international student enrollment over offering advanced programs for motivated and qualified individuals. However, do not lose hope as there are still options available to you. Keep searching and networking, and I am confident you will find a university that aligns with your goals and values. Best of luck in your academic journey.
