<p>I'm attending the University of Texas as a computer science major, and I was wondering how plausible it would be to major electrical engineering also, as I thought this would be a really useful double major. I know I have to do 30 hours in residence at UT (Student</a> Accounts Receivable), but I just wanted to get the opinion of a few other people. The only problem that I see is that besides humanities classes, there doesn't seem to be much course overlap between either major.</p>
<p>Many thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Just some links you might want to look at:</p>
<p>The</a> University of Texas at Austin - Department of Computer Sciences - Academics</p>
<p>UT</a> ECE | Undergraduate: EE 4-year Plan 04-06</p>
<p>It’s doable, but unless you’ve already tested out or have credit for a bunch of the lower-division requirements (like Eng and writing), you’re going to be at the university a LONG TIME. Even so, if you can’t take your classes during the summer, that may be a problem since there aren’t any overlap classes and since they’re pretty intense.</p>
<p>BTW, unless you enter the university in 2006, you need to look at the degree plan for your year. I assume that would be 2010 (if you’re an incoming freshman).</p>
<p>The 08-10 catalog still applies for freshmen this year.</p>
<p>The 10-12 catalog applies because CNS students are now required to take UGS 302 or 303</p>
<p>Oh I didn’t even know there was a 10-12 catalog, the business school is still on 08-10 and I didn’t know that the schools had different catalogs (because of like, some gened requirement or something).</p>
<p>The reason I even mentioned the catalogue was because the links that domin8r posted were for my freshman class from eons ago.</p>
<p>You should just do EE computer engineering track, choose computer design as main tech area and then choose academic enrichment to take courses from CS department i.e. compilers, operating systems, etc. But I know of some CS people that are double-majoring by taking some of the EE courses so it is possible. The initial CS programming classes have equivalent (atleast for degree purposes) EE programming classes and vice versa so even though you don’t see a direct course overlap there is an overlap, just the courses have different names.</p>
