Double Major Computer Science and Computer Engineering/Electrical Engineering

<p>How hard would it be to double major in computer science with either computer engineering or electrical engineering? How many hours of work would you have to put into this, and would it be worth it? Also which of the two, electrical engineering or computer engineering, would prepare me the most for jobs in the field in the future?</p>

<p>Just as a tip, engineering classes take up most of your schedule; if u take a physics class, it would also have labs, and lab preparation time with ur normal class period. I would say it would be very tough to have two engineering majors, but I have seen it happen before and it is possible. My sister goes to g tech and she says that one would have sufficient time to double major in 5 years or major & minor in 4 years (thinking u will do 2 engineering major or minor).
I heard this from a friend that graduated from Cal-tech. Will he graduated first with a perfect GPA and he says that elec. engineering should be the hardest kind of subject that exists in the world. I believe he says that cuz he goes to such a good, hard school, but I do take his word into account. Personally, I believe comp. engineering would be the “popular” career job in the near future. Computer usage is becoming more and more common in most areas. It would be an attractive field, but keep in mind that the more popular, the more competitive.</p>

<p>Good luck</p>

<p>I’m sure you could do it, but you might want to ask, “Why?” Is any employer or grad school looking for such credentials? There are usually much better ways to channel your energy.</p>

<p>Better to get bachelor’s and master’s than two bachelor’s. Did you earn two high school diplomas? :wink: Once you hike the Appalachian Trail, would you do it again, or go try a different trail? More impressive to try something else, no? Shows more learning, more willingness to grow.</p>
