<p>My main major is currently Chem E, but I've really been putting some thought into pursuing a double engineering major. If I was to do this, what other engineering major should I choose that may relate to Chem E? Mechanical, electrical????</p>
<p>What are you interested in, and what double majors are available at your school? (For example, UC Berkeley offers officially supported double majors of Chemical Engineering with either Nuclear Engineering or Materials Science and Engineering.)</p>
<p>Oh, can you not just double major in any two majors you want?
I’m planning on attending Ga Tech.
I’m interested in Chemical Engineering, but I want couple that with another engineering major…</p>

<p>You can in theory, but some majors (particularly engineering majors) have so many requirements that double majoring may require a lot of course overload semesters in order to take all of the course requirements for both majors.</p>
<p>What you want to do is look at the course requirements for both majors and count up the total number of courses or credits required for each major (including breadth requirements). Add them together, then subtract the courses that are shared (for two engineering majors, this would typically be stuff like freshman and sophomore math and physics, and breadth requirements and the like). If it is not significantly greater than the total number of courses or credits to graduate, then it may be doable, although you may have to plan your schedule very carefully so that every course fulfills some sort of requirement (double majors typically have few or no completely free electives since any that they may have are used up by the other major).</p>
