Find Your Flock, E8: Why Computer Engineering is a Great Freestyle Major with Christopher Kniss
🎓 In this episode of Find Your Flock, we talk with Christopher Kniss, a recent graduate of Stevens Institute of Technology’s computer engineering program, who’s now heading into a Ph.D. in electrical engineering.
He shares how he discovered his passion for hardware design, why he’s shifting fields, and what it’s like to intern at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
🔧 Topics we cover:
- The difference between electrical and computer engineering (it’s not what you think)
- How a concentration in embedded systems shaped his direction
- Why Stevens helped him thrive as a student and researcher
- His best advice for students thinking about grad school or switching fields
About our Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering:https://www.stevens.edu/program/compu...About our Electrical Engineering Ph.D. Program:https://www.stevens.edu/program/elect...Hosted by Dr. Sandra Clavijo, Director of Undergraduate Studies at the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science, the Find Your Flock podcast is the place for budding engineers and scientists to gain insights from current college students and recent college graduates about career options for STEM majors.
