so for the undergrad minor field, I pick the one that best reflects what I did in my undergrad research, and for the grad minor field, I just pick the one that interests me the most, which could be different from my undergrad one, right?

If so, there's still a dilemma for me. For instance, the area "computer architecture" for instance can fall under either Computer Science or Engineering (as in Electrical Engineering). Computer Science actually is somewhat like engineering I suppose. If I pick Computer Science as my major field, but somehow later I go for Electrical Engineering PhD, it's still allowable by NSF fellowship policy if the department is more engineering oriented, right? After all, Electrical Engineering is actually a minor field within the major field Engineering, and Computer Science can be considered as engineering in the research I would like to pursue.

I would appreciate any further comment

thanks
