Thanks for the reply TomServo,

So I guess in short my classes won’t really prepare me fully for graduate work (I am fine with preparing outside of class). I could switch to a physics major and still graduate on time but I figured that if I wanted to work in engineering R&D, the engineering background would help. Should I try to stay in an engineering field for graduate school? If so does anyone know of any EE/related fields that deal heavily in quantum mechanics/superconductivity or would I be stuck in academia if I studied that at the PhD level?
