Can You Combine Studies in Alternative Energy and Robotics?

[Seth0Mitchell]

Hello, I'm curious as to how practical it is to want to work in both of these fields? I'm debating weather or not it would be better suited for me to study double major Physics and MEng with a minor in EEng as my undergrad, or MEng and EEng with minors in Physics and Computer Science.
I would like to work with alternative energy, and maybe as an engineer at a particle accel. but I've always loved robotics, and feel I could contribute tremendously to the field. I would do something more like Mechatronics, but unfortunately my school has no such program.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

It is definitely possible to pursue both physics and engineering when it comes to alternative energy and robotics. Depending on the specifics of your chosen program, it may be more feasible to double major in Physics and MEng, or to major in MEng and EEng with minors in Physics and Computer Science. It really depends on what you want to focus on and what academic resources are available to you. It would also be beneficial to research potential career paths in these fields and talk to professionals who have already established careers in the areas you are interested in. This can help you gain a better understanding of what you need to do to reach your goals.
