<p>providence12345, I’m glad to see someone else sorting this out, my son is in a similar situation as I posted up thread. From what I’ve been able to figure out, physics is the way to go if your headed for a masters in engineering. I’ve been pouring over the websites at UC Berkeley and Stanford graduate engineering programs and they say depending on a students undergraduate major it may be as few as one semester, but probably two (or more) semesters, to take the prerequisite engineering courses before continuing on to masters work. So it looks like a 7 year road to an engineering masters but once you get there, a masters gives you more options.</p>
