Have to choose one course...?
I am an Electronics and Communication Engineering graduate and have now joined into the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Engineering branch of a university to pursue my Masters. I need to pick a course this quarter and I'm stuck with a problem.
I have the following options:
Operating Systems
Computer Architecture
Introduction to Databases
I am more interested towards Computer Networking. I can choose only one from the above courses. I heard the operating systems course involves a lot of C under Unix programming and as I'm from an Electronics background, I'm a little confused whether to take up this course or not. And as I'm not interested in Computer Architecture, I'm not sure if I want to take it. The Introduction to Databases is something I think I'm interested in but don't know if it'll be of any use to me. What do you think I should be choosing?
PS: I had Operating Systems in my undergraduation but I was always dissatisfied the way it was taught in the class.
Except for reading a textbook we haven't done anything special and thats what is scaring me. And I never coded in the Unix environment, so that is the thing that worries me the most. Please advice.
Thanks a lot... I chose Intro to Databases... I think going by my interests is much better... I don't want to end up taking risks at this stage. In a scenario where you had to choose between Operating Systems and Computer Architecture, which would you have chosen keeping my field in mind? Just curious thats it...

I took introduction to Databases and it was really fun, easy, and interesting. I thought that it would be the opposite, but I was wrong. You should take this, it will help you in your career. Good Luck!

I'd go with operating systems, just because of the possibility of overlap with embedded systems, which could be useful I think. Depends a lot on what that class specifically focuses on though.
