<p>seuferk, that depends entirely on the pace that you want to approach your coursework. I know people who took 5+ years to get their engineering degrees. If you want both degrees, in say 4 years, then you are really going to have to load up the credits- which I don’t recommend doing. As I said before, getting the extra degree will probably be 9 or 12 credits, so if you go out on a 4 year track, I would say an extra semester would do. One thing I recommend if you want to get both degrees (which I do not think is really necessary to have, but that is another discussion) is start out with AE as your primary track and then pick up the additional ME credits.</p>
