What are the most impactful innovations in Computer Science for 2026, and which career paths best align with them?
As we move through 2026, the field of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) is shifting from experimental phases to "hyper-adoption" across several breakthrough areas. I am interested in understanding which specific recent innovations are currently redefining the industry and what professional roles are emerging as a result. Specifically, I would like to know: Which recent innovations (e.g., in AI, Quantum, or Edge Computing) are considered the most "game-changing" for 2026? What specific career paths should students or professionals target to stay ahead of these trends? What foundational skills are now "non-negotiable" for these new roles?

I want a career in electrical engineering and microelectronics. What skills and experiences should I focus on in college to stand out to top universities and future employers? #Fall25
I’m currently a freshman in college and interested in electrical engineering, especially designing and repairing microelectronics like phones, consoles, and computers. I want to know which skills, projects, internships, and study habits will help me stand out to top universities and future employers in this field. I’m motivated to start building experience now and want guidance on the most effective steps. #Fall25
Is AI/ML still worth pursuing long-term, or will automation kill those jobs too?
I’m choosing a major soon. From your experience, will AI/ML and math-based tech careers stay stable and useful in the next 10–30 years? Which parts of your job are hardest to automate? What skills will still matter even if AI gets stronger? What would you tell a 16-year-old starting now? im a sophomore student in high school in Budapest, I really like ai, tech, math, computer science and coding related stuff right now. everyone tells me that once I graduate high school in the next 2-3 years, ai will automated everything and these fields would be useless in the next 10 years. and my plan at first was to move somewhere nice even if its not improved in tech but work remotely in these fields but now im scared that by then id probably have low chances of getting a remote job. or I might have to be in countries with fast improving tech. I barely have info on anything and nobody around me specializes in these stuff so im clueless and only rely on random articles and exaggerated research and now im scared that I ight have to take a major in subjects I absolutely hate.
What careers would be possible with a Mechatronics degree vs Mechanical Drafting degree through a trade school.?
I am considering two different paths after graduating from high school. One would be a traditional college route with a four year degree in Mechatronics. The other would be a nearby trade school that offers an Associate degree in Drafting/Design and provides job placement assistance. For the past few years I have been on my school's robotics team and really enjoy designing the robot in CAD then 3-D printing all the parts to build it. I think both pathways lead to a similar career, but one is quicker and a fraction of the cost. Am I correct in this?
What are the best universities to study robotics or mechanical engineering? If I only study robotics, will I be able to work at big companies like Google?
