If I wanted to make a pivot from software engineering into a more traditional engineering discipline like mechanical engineering, what would be my pathway of doing so? I have a BS and MS in computer science and all of my experience is in software engineering. After working in the industry for a while, I’m regretting not studying a more traditional engineering discipline because I feel like they offer you more career paths.
Has anyone else noticed what I’ve noticed while working in this industry? Which is that non-CS engineering majors can apply and get software engineering jobs or jobs in their actual engineering discipline, it does not hurt them at all, and no one bats an eye at someone working as a software engineer with a mechanical or electrical engineering degree. But, if I want to switch into doing mechanical engineering, it will be difficult if not impossible to get into a position with self-study and holding a CS degree, they will want to see a traditional engineering degree.
