software is depelopoed using the several independent module
while
in hardware engineer , ($95,000 per twelvemonth)
a product is developed using different hardware parts .
In the computer software stream students learn the nuts of operating system structures, retentivity direction, compilers, middleware, etc. Computers today are designed in conjunction with compiler technology and well-nigh all make use of an operating organization – this includes laptops, cell phones, and PDAs. Students will also report the nuts of information structures, programming languages, databases, security, and software technology.Potential employers include Intel, AMD, ARM, Microsoft, IBM, ATI, Cisco, Oracle, Sun and many start-upward companies.
Students in the computer hardware stream will learn the nuts of digital blueprint at the gate and arrangement/architectural level. Nigh people will spend their entire life no more than than one meter away from some blazon of digital system (e.yard. laptop, cell phone, PDA, iPod, GPS, auto, controllers, etc.) Digital hardware surrounds us all and affords many interesting careers. Students in this stream will study computer hardware, computer architecture, VLSI systems, and digital systems design.
Employers include OEM Silicon, Intel, Gennum, PMC-Sierra, AMD/ATI, Altera, Xilinx and many beginning-ups.

Software Engineer would probably be better, in that location are not may software engineers equally there were back 10 years ago, even for XP OS, there were quite alot but non every bit many every bit there were for Windows 98 OS. It was all new dorsum then and PC's were more than affordable than in 1990. My first PC cost me almost $2000 including OS Windows 3.1, Dos, Lotus 123, Wordperfect for Windows dorsum in 1989.
Every bit Pc'due south became more appealing and attainable, PC users becam e more than interested in creating their own programs to which they could sell to the public.
When Microsoft did not include VB4 with XP, there was a really big outcry and somewhen Microsoft caved in and dispatched updates to include it.
With Vista Bone, considering that it has been effectually since 1999, has a big followng of programmers and software & game developers only it took about five years earlier they became available.
As for Windows 7, there are not many programmers or software developers writing for it, they are far and few betwixt. Not many games specifically for Windows seven, you virtually have to apply compatibility mode for well-nigh games, they are Vista or XP platform based.
Windows 7 has been given a big miss so it would be wise to consider programming, software evolution for Windows viii platforms.
The time to come of computers is the 128 fleck Os platform expected to be released about the year 2020.
Handhelds, console games and applications, tablets iphones etc are more of the future than any of the states actually desire to admit to every bit we still like our beefy do-it-yourself desktop PC's.
Hardware Engineeer, might sound like a practiced idea and would be worth considering as an extra grade (a Pocket-size) however, you lot would also need to consider an Electronics Caste as well to implement the proper knowledge every bit to how things really piece of work.

It'due south upwardly to you and how you experience working with electronics, parts, components, in a hands-on surroundings much like an inventor whereas Software tends to be more intense on the brain having to think more about scripting and sitting at a desk staring at a screen 16 hours a day (vii days a week), than putting "lego" together..
I've done programming for about 15 years but in dissimilar fields, not even an expert even though I did achieve Distinction in Visual Basics (Dip Information technology), much of that noesis goes past the wayside in todays' environment. I've done javascript. VB6, HTML, VBA for Ofice, but those sorts of things are just the tip of the iceberg, Software Engineer would nearly likely exist for making machines work, or writing total programs for an industry rather than but a program for a small retail oufit.
You'd need to go talk with the people in the industry to actually understand and capeesh the piece of work involved.
Edit -
I'd just like to add than many software developers (and programmers) practise tend to forgo Error Handling which is a big trouble in the terminal product (patches, updates etc) then if yous are keen to learn programming languages and software development, try not to use terms like
"On Error got to 0", handle the expected (or unexpected) error as it should be washed.
The problem with error handling is that information technology does add about an 60 minutes or so to the scripting (sometimes days for extra big scripts) and the file size can, at times, more double (sometimes 10 times larger in size than the original scripting) what would otherwise be a small executable. Just that's programming for you, either yous practice information technology well the first time or do it badly and add patches and updates.

My blood brother's a software engineer and despite the fact that he gets paid pretty well, he hates his chore only tin can't pull himself away because of the pay.

Hardware Engineer seems to imply something glorious but you don't work from home in your shed, you work in a manufacturing plant or on-siter putting a arrangement together.
Neither are glorious careers and both types practise tend to burn down out people within five years however, the feel and training is invaluable and that is where you lot get to outset up your own company creating web sites, developing software, putting together your own network and server for an intranet for a Customs or school.
As luxtux has said nigh his brother, the money is corking simply the endeavor is affecting family, relationships, and health.
It might be time for his brother to go offset up his own concern.
Ive been fixing up discarded computers for about 6 years simply much of them are one-time, out of engagement, and have no future for much of annihilation except Windows XP. My programming cognition is about the same, not much adept for anything past 2005.
Software and Hardware "engineers" exercise accept to keep their cognition upwardly to date and are always learning new things, once you end, you fall by the wayside and end upwards unemployed or working as a motor bike courier.
Why are there so many negatives for these careers?
At 1 time, the salaries were as much as double what you accept stated, so not as many students are preferring those careers. About half dozen years ago, reckoner related career salaries dropped from about $140,000 per year to about $eighty,000 per year, therre were too many graduates wanting that career.
In Republic of india, 80% of graduates are learning computer related degrees, particularly Software and Hardware.
The income for those 2 careers has dropped to about $40,000 to $64,000 per year.
As times change, and you continue to improve, larn , go on your knowledge upwardly to date, you will find that those industries will, again, meliorate to as much as what they were when Software and Hardware Engineers were deficient or lacking in proper education.
Those figures (Salaries) y'all have stated are rather high, you'd need to exist more than just a graduate I'd expect, and those courses would accept to become for more three years to exist a Degree.
Which ane would you lot prefer?
Which ane practice you accept an involvement in, preferably?
Can you build your own PC from simply parts on a tabular array?
Tin can you write a elementary web folio, or a sub routine to display a message?
Without some sort of avid interest, y'all but can't learn something for the bacon alone.

It'south up to y'all and how yous feel working with electronics, parts, components, in a hands-on environment much like an inventor whereas Software tends to exist more intense on the brain having to think more than about scripting and sitting at a desk staring at a screen xvi hours a twenty-four hour period (vii days a calendar week), than putting "lego" together..

But that's programming for you, either you do information technology well the first time or do it badly and add patches and updates.
This is why hardware engineers secretly despise software engineers. Here's the depression-down, this software engineering guy has no idea was real hardware engineering is. Near sophisticated electronics are made as INTEGRATED CIRCUITS which means that everything is manufactured at the nano scale and y'all can fit a lot of transistors into a small area. All that is done on the reckoner. At that place is a huge design cycle that goes on betwixt Specifications, Architecture, Logic Pattern, Circuit Design, Layout, Floorplanning, Verification, Timing, Betoken Integrity, and more. It's very exciting but a very hard field to go into considering it REQUIRES an avant-garde degree 90% of the time.
This lego bullshit he'southward describing is DISCRETE CIRCUITS with Detached COMPONENTS. Outside of power delivery or analog circuitry that's not how things are done. Whatever and all digital circuits today are beingness fabricated on INTEGRATED CIRCUITS. Again, it's a lot of CAD and signal timing. Something software engineers would know nothing about.
Software engineering on the other hand is truthfully not that hard. Even hardware engineers design most of the chip functions using programming languages like Verilog and VHDL. Software engineers act like their job is and so hard, just in my experience I NEVER found a programming course to be difficult. Well-nigh of the earth's best software companies were started by college dropouts. The hard function about software is the rapid rate of change. There's hundreds of programming languages and more beingness added all the fourth dimension. An employer might ask that you lot know well-nigh XYZ coding language only yous merely take experience with A, B, C. It never ends and thus was never highly-seasoned to me at to the lowest degree. The actual coding part is not that difficult and something I COULD Practise in my sleep. 50% coding 50% testing, guess which part doesn't unremarkably become done?
Yes.
