Ummm…why?

When you are hired for a job, it will be for EITHER EP or CompE. You will not get any extra money for the extra degree.

Not to bust ya chops…but in general I think an admin or mod needs a sticky thread about double majors and engineering. Too many postings about doing double major with not-too-related majors. It is going to lead to 5-year (almost 6 year) undergrad programs and a lot of frustration for not getting hired for the 2nd degree.

Applied Math/CS…I can see because you can “double count” courses and still do it within 120-semester/180-quarter credits but when folks start asking about double majoring in aerospace engineering and computer engineering…some of the mods or older/experienced engineers need to step in a say “WHOA big boy/big girl”.
