I look at Basic Engineering as an extension of physics or application of the principles of Physics. Strong knowledge in Physics actually helps with the foundation of engineering. So if he wants to do dual major in Physics and Engineering, that’s a positive. It is not worth the fight now. The kids will know a lot more when they are in college (going to career fairs, talking to others etc.). They will be in a perfect position to decide the majors/minors at that time.
