Double engineering major

[jmcoreymv]

Im going to Cal Poly SLO in the fall for EE. I was entertaining the idea of trying to also get a BS in ME. I was wondering about how much longer I would have to be in school for that? And would it be a useful thing to double major in EE and ME?

Thanks.

I got a feeling we are going to be seeing you on top of a water tower in a few years.

EE and ME dont have classes that overlap very much except for the fundamentals you take freshman year (cal, chem, physics, etc) I am an EE and my roomie is a double majorME/NucE, so if anything those 2 majors are related. You could probably finish in 5-6 years if you very hard and take courses over the summer and stuff. Of course, I could be wrong, but this is how it is at Penn State University.

How long have you been in school? A single Engineering major is more than most people can tolerate. My EE took me 5 years and my MEE took another 1.5 years...I DO NOT suggest that you do something as stupid as I did.

We'll see you at the funnyfarm for burned out double majors!

I am doing an internship currently at a company that makes medical devices for surgery. On the project team I am on it seems as if they could really use one guy who has both EE and ME experience to sort of put it all together.

It's called a biomedical engineer.

damn dood, EE is hard enough

You can do it in the same amount of time if you want to.

Gonna have to second the BiomedE option.

If anything EE and CE are the way to go for Dualies....


You do realize that EE is equivalent to pulling out a tooth with a nail, right?

umm I tried doubling in Mech e. and CS -- dropped that plan a year ago -- it was impossible to schedule classes after a while. Not even "death threat" schedules were possible.

So I picked just CS in the end, and that was a good decision
