I too am skeptical of a "Web development" program. We have one at our junior college nearby and it's a total sham. It's 10 years out of date and the curriculum mandates like IE 8 or maybe 9 development environment

Moridin920 posted:that's fine, I work with tons of engineers who can't come up with a creative solution or write a paragraph to save their lives I would love to see a humanities major try to instruct an engineer on how to do their job. They're probably a lot better at writing pharmaceutical brochures, ill give them that.

I'm not even a STEM major and I had to write pseudocode for someone one time because they just didn't loving get it until it was written out for them. I'm not talking about telling them what to do line by line, I'm talking about how they need specific instruction on what to code because creativity is often not a trait shared by STEM people (although it should be since you need to come up with solutions but that's why there are good engineers and bad ones).

SopWATh posted:If it's anything other than shitloads of javascript programming (I guess there's PHP and SQL junk you could do too) run away Yup. JavaScript has only gotten more integral to the development process and its gonna grow even more. I think it's too soon to tell if things like MEAN stack are gonna stick around long term but people sure do love Angular and node.js right now.

Incomplete Fish posted:Nah, i'm an engineering major. Wow you're really holding on to that ignorant arrogance that engineering students seem to get once they know how to do math. It's a good thing you're here to tell us that there is absolutely no demand for web development, nope. I wish there was a university that required you to be like 25 to attend and wasn't a lovely rip off. I'm tired of dealing with the little shitheads who should've been drowned in a river if their parents wanted to get rid of them.

my major was english rhetoric but i always just tell people "rhetoric" because every english major i ever met was either a boring mom on the language arts track to become a teacher or doing the creative writing concentration because they were insufferable tumblr girls or guys in corduroy pants who unironically wanted to write their memoirs at 21 nobody knows what rhetoric is though, is the problem that is my college story

Prorat posted:Your music career didnt pan out? Shocking! Actually we were signed to a major label, toured, sold 120,000ish songs/albums, and played large shows. The reason it didn't pan out is inter-band drama. I get the feeling you think I am a poo poo musician. Anyway, I don't have the exact course program in front of me but it's a heavy comp-sci web dev program. I made sure it wasn't sketchy garbage before enrolling in it. COMPUUUUTERRRRSSS

Windows 98 posted:I'm doing 2 years at a community college for the credits because financially it is much less expensive than a state school. After I have the credits I'll be transferring and finishing my last 2 years at a state school. This is a genuinely good idea. Make sure ahead of time that you can transfer as many credits as possible, though. No point paying for classes that don't transfer.

for real though there's a real deficit in creative thinking in the engineering pipeline, I'm heading a dozen dudes on our senior undergrad project and slightly rearranging the diagram for aesthetic reasons made most of them forget how it worked now i'm trying a 'matrix' approach in that i encourage them to think of the components in the system as dynamically sortable at this stage and i think that just made things worse
