I came to wrong university program. I thought Computer Engineering will be full of fun courses, but the reality is that they are just boring. Now looking back at the curriculum, I find that Mathematical Physics (BSc) is more interesting than CE. Computer Engineering has tuition of $19K/year. Mathematical Physics only has $9/year. This is ridiculous. At this point, I would transfer to Mathematical Physics as a regular program. Why not co-op option? Most of the co-op postings on WaterlooWorks aren’t interesting. 70% of them are web frontend work and 90% of them are replaceable by AI. Moreover, as I continue exploring different fields of computing, I found that my only fields of interests are operating systems and microarchitecture. Since job postings for those are mostly external, there is no benefit of using WaterlooWorks to me. Whether I transfer or not will be decided in a few months, but it’s clear at this point that Computer Engineering as a university program is not for me.
