I don't really know where I should post this, but I want the end result to be me working with embedded systems and microcontrollers.
I live in a very small country, with limited options regarding education. My education is Marine Engineer, which is not a "real" engineering degree in the traditional sense, because it lacks the heavy math, but more a mixed bag of relevant topics required to operate a ship, power plant, power grid, and so on. We had quite a lot of electrical subjects. If I look at the curriculum for an EE student, I can see I have been through some of it.
Now I'd like to formalise my education a bit more, by getting a second education (Hey, they are free..) on the side. And the closest education I can get is Software Engineering (Not C.S)
I told the education leader that my interest lies in embedded systems, he said there was not much in the curriculum that is related to embedded, only some Arduino. But he recommended me to write the bachelor thesis on something that would interest me more. And I reckon this applies to the whole course, just write about embedded stuff where ever you can. And there is no C coding..
So, the question. Would I be able to get a job as an embedded engineer, given my background in Marine and Software Engineering?
