What to study in the IT field while studying radio engineering?

Question

Electronics

I am a second-year student majoring in Radio Engineering (in fact, the development of electronic devices, boards), but in the future I want to work more with the software part. Have basic knowledge in programming (C#, Java). What is it worth starting to study now and what IT field to go into so that the knowledge from the university is at least a little useful (of course, with subsequent employment)?

Answer 1

embedded programming, embedded linux, IoT
IMHO it would be nice to have knowledge in C, asma, processor / microcontroller architecture, for debugging drivers.
specialists who know the two border areas will always be lacking.

Answer 2

To the above, I would like to add FPGA and signal processing algorithms, as well as real-time operating systems (the simplest is FreeRTOS, but in general there are many of them).

Answer 3

you need to learn a foreign language and consider the issue of moving, since in the CIS it is difficult to develop in the field of electronics, local customers are not very solvent, and it is also expensive to make intermediate samples

Answer 4

All the way "Radio engineering" meant - "locators and everything like that emitting and receiving." In any case, when I finished it, at TSURE in 1999.
This is quite possible to earn a living no less than the average provincial galley programming. In the capital and in outsourcing - yes, there are more "vayti" there.
if radio engineering is not interesting and you want to do programming, do not waste time and transfer. overlap between specialties is minimal. I essentially taught everything anew and in parallel, a huge apparatus of the specialty Radio Engineering (all these field theory, antennas, Maxwell and RTCiS) is not needed in programming, you will learn it and throw it away.
either study to be a radio engineer, or quit and study to be a programmer, don't do a bad job
