College degree thread /sci/,

I want to work with robots and AI but im not sure what field i should pick.
I started out as a civil engineer but now im having doubts, any ideas?

If you aren't sure, then you're fucked. Become a hooker. All you need to know is Word and Excel.

>> No.2933258

mechanical, electrical, or computer science engineering. Why'd you pick civil?

>> No.2933261

Go Electrical/Mechanical/Software if you want to work with robots. So, maybe a Mechatronics degree with a software engineering or computer engineering

i wasnt interested in robots back then. i was interested in cash and job security.
So, i guess mechatronics and then a phd in robotics

Usually deluded fantasies come before being realistic.

are you referring to the civil or robotics being delusional?

>> No.2933382

Robotics and AI in the truest sense is probably still the domain of computer science. I ended up with a mechanical major, mechatronics minor. I work in a field that most people would describe as robotics, but I don't feel that's completely honest. But hey.

robotics is a hybrid field of CSE, EE, and ME. You just need to take a robotics course and start building. You might struggle with coding on the level you need to at first, but theres a lot of dev kits and groups that can really help you out.

Here are some class projects from the class I took. All their final reports, schematics and source code are included as well as all the course material.
