<p>Is it better to major in electrical engineering and minor in chemistry or major in chemical engineering and minor in electrical engineering?</p>
<p>It really depends on your preferences, but EECS is supposed to be a lot more hands on. ChemE is suicide, from what I’ve heard.</p>
<p>Well, there is no electrical engineering minor… Is there any particular reason why you want to mix the two?</p>
<p>there actually is an electrical engineering minor through the college of engineering.

<p>and idk why i just like both subjects and think it’d be a good mix.</p>
<p>This is difficult to say. What interests you more? Chemical Engineering or Electrical Engineering? That should be your major and the other the minor.</p>
<p>^^Wow, you got me. I did not know that.</p>

<p>EECS is too broad to say anything like that about it. There’s areas in EECS which are totally hands on, and other areas that are totally theoretical and will have no immediate applications whatsoever. Depends on what in EECS the OP would like to do.</p>
<p>If you’re thinking of doing the two, the ChemE + EE Minor seems like it would be a good option. Companies would love to see something like that if hiring for process work or something along those lines. That would be a great background for work in controls for process work in the oil industry or other chemical companies. If you’re going to do the EE Minor, I’d recomment the Systems path. That would give you a decent background for controls (EECS 460 and EECS 461.)</p>
<p>Actually, looking at this, I wish the EE minor would have been an option when I started. Don’t know if I would be cut out for ChemE, but I’d think that with those two you could probably make some big bucks doing process work as a controls specialist.</p>
