EE major and triple minor in cs, math and physics?

If you find that you can handle other courses alongside your required coursework for EE, I’d recommend sticking to one extra subject and going beyond the min. requirements for it. Justing taking 2 extra courses in 3 subjects sounds kind of lame.



I’ll add to this. Let’s say that during your studies in EE you take an interest to semiconductor devices. It would then be smart to take a couple of foundational physics courses relating to the subject–courses in quantum physics, solid state physics, or statistical mechanics. It wouldn’t be very smart or useful to weasel on by and take the easiest courses you can to fulfill a physics minor. You won’t get much out of your extra studies that way.
