And at what point in Computer Engineering do you require a fundamental understanding of Physics like every other Engineering field?
The part where you have to fundamentally understand how hardware actually works, ie how transistors, integrated circuits, and logic gates actually work on a physical level.
You're thinking of Software Engineering, and even then you'd still be off.
The point where I was using my master’s in computer engineering to design physical chips? You know, using my fundamental understanding of electricity, magnetism, and the physics that come along with it.
