Not at all. The Electr Engineering curriculum has several programming courses. The fundamental principles for a circuit design and program are the same, one is represented physically in a circuit, the other is coded. There is a lot both can do that the other cannot. For example the concept of logic gates are directly correlated to if/then/else type programming statements. In college I started getting phone calls from recruiters to come build the internet, and I did for a while. Ended up in a specialization called "integration" which means making systems talk that cannot natively talk. Having an electrical background makes this type of programming easier as you have a more natural understanding of the machine you are integrating. An example: once I integrated a factory robot with SAP. The robot tested metal from a production line and reported those results. They had to go retrieve the data from the robots and we built them a system that made the old robots be able to report in real time as if they were modern. 1 million on this project vs 15 million for new robots.

oh yeah yeah trueee the logic gates concept immediately made my mind light up and get excited for a moment😄 i'm not exactly into coding but i can see now that you mentioned the connection

Programming (for males) is relatively easy at typical "employee" levels, its why we have so many dumb Indians doing it. Electrical is much harder. I kind of regret going into software. Especially because of patents, you can make a lot of money there. You go into an elctrical engineering dept or a firm, its not loaded with Indians.
