I'm going to be going to college in about two and a half years, and I've spent some amounts of time trying to figure out what I should major in. So far, I've come up with this: Double major in Electrical and Computer Engineering, minor in physics.
I just have some questions for this, however.
Would this be too much for a college student?
I think, from what I've read on other sites, that majoring in two subjects might be a bit too much work load for a 4 year period, plus the minor, but CE and EE are both really similar, right? So the work probably should be minimized, at least slightly. Which brings me to my next question.
Would both majors in CE/EE be... Too narrow? For resumes, etc. Like are these two engineering majors too closely related so that a company would think I was wasting my time and would rather choose someone who has a broader range in experience? Or do they just not care?
What I'd like to do, is to work on building computer parts, like microprocessors and what not, which deals more with CE... But there are some things in EE that I find appealing, like photonics, please correct me if that isn't an actual EE "branch"
All I'm wondering is if double majoring in CE/EE with a minor of physics would be a smart choice for my future. Thanks.
