<p>I enjoy Chemistry quite a bit. I also enjoy Electrical Engineering, and I tinker with electrical circuits in my free time. What I really want to know, is if it is possible to double major in ChemE and Electrical Engineering, or maybe a major in EE with a minor in ChemE.</p>
<p>Maybe check out materials science.</p>
<p>Also, most engineering programs include technical electives. You could major in EE but take some additional chemistry coursework.</p>
<p>Chemical engineering is not the same as chemistry.</p>
<p>The two don’t have a lot in common past the basic first year engineering stuff, so it would probably take longer to graduate if you did both. I would try to speak with advisors in both departments to get their views on it. Maybe you could start out as a double major and then pull back from one program (possibly minoring in it instead) if the double major is too difficult or you find that one major suits you better than the other. </p>
<p>Chemical engineering majors take a hefty amount of chemistry (eg gen chem, o chem, p chem, biochem) but also take classes like thermodynamics, unit operations, process control, process design, etc. I think EE requires more math than CE.</p>
<p>Look at the curriculum and electives in the programs at the school you attend (or are considering attending). You may be able to pick one of these majors according to a greater passion but cover some of the second area with electives without actually double-majoring. UW-Seattle, for example, has an “electronic materials” specialty area electives within the ChemE major, as well as electives in EE and physics that are electronics-related (both solid state and circuits). </p>
<p>Also materials science and engineering (MSE) bridges chemistry and EE somewhat, and you can specialize in electronic and/or magnetic properties of materials, e.g. for solid-state electronics and magnetic materials. MSE curricula often include chemistry, ChemE and EE electives.</p>
