I’ve seen a reel of engineering where she tell that ee have a good role in cyber security, i search it and found there are several things a ee guy Is good at, like hardware vulnerability types something.
And also said to bridge the gaps there are courses on it, but i really want to know can I get into that.
Like they said the ee guys create tools for cyber security people, so they can use like reverse engineering tools etc.
And also I want to go into r&d in cyber security so what things should one person do, to match their level, if I know that earlier I would choose ee but now I am in 2nd year in CS so.
Engineering is learning. Of course you will miss things if you take specific study tracks and assume you will stop learning when you graduate. But good power EEs will learn a certain amount of mechanical engineering in order to plan where conduits need to go, and semiconductor EEs will often learn software as a tool for streamlining chip design. Similarly, people with no degrees at all can learn to hack kernel drivers… it just takes time and self-study.
