<p>I took software design this past semester, and the final project was to make an android application. Some of them are playful. If I wasn’t in the class, I wouldn’t have time to begin learning Android development.</p>
<p>Another example is probability and statistics. I used to hate the subject and thought it was unless because I wouldn’t be a statistician. I am taking the class and the materials enlighten me. In real life probability and statistics tools can help us make better decisions. If I teach myself I probably won’t appreciate it as much as I do now. </p>
<p>If you look at enterprise web frameworks, they often emphasize the point that even the non-technical people can contribute.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>These are possibilities. Endless possibilities because our lives are surrounded by the Internet and computers.</p>
<p>Oh. Even if you are only going to fulfill your CS requirement for your engineering major, don’t give up on learning more about computer programming and computer science. Sometime computations become too tedious and long, I would then write scripts and run them (if Wolfram Alpha cannot solve my problem.)</p>
<p>===
It is a good idea to minor, but don’t make that decision until you have passed your introduction to computer science and your discrete mathematics.</p>

The other day I was browsing through some Youtube channels, and one guy who is in his 50s, 60s I think, is hacking gadgets.

<p>This guy is not an electrical engineer. He learns how to hack gadgets. Some of those hacks are quite useful.</p>
