<p>A Double major in two engineering fields. Hard or impossible?</p>
<p>It'd be impossible for almost everybody. I guess you could do it if you don't want to sleep or have a life and are willing to stay more than four years, but what's the point?</p>
<p>If you can't decide which field you want to do, take a class in each and then see which one you like better.</p>
<p>it doesn't make sense to do it. employers and grad schools wouldn't care</p>
<p>what about doubling in physics and mechanical engineering? Minus AP credit and overlap, I added up the hours and got something like 147. This seems like a lot (little more than 18 per semester) but would it be unmanageable? I know i want to major in mechanical engineering, because a bachelor's in it would be more practical job-wise than one in physics, but I really like physics and wanted to leave the door open to pursue a graduate degree in it.</p>
<p>Taking 18 hours for a semester or two is ok, but you're going to burn out if you do it every semester.</p>
<p>If you like physics, just take a lot of those classes. Or you can stay at Rice for an extra semester if you really want a double major. There's no need to kill yourself over it.</p>
<p>I used to think double majoring was crucial because it seems like everyone does it, but trust me it doesnt matter.</p>
<p>what about bio and economics?</p>
<p>Double majoring is pointless. Honestly.</p>
<p>Pick one major and go with it. If you get to senior year and realize that you've taken enough extra classes in the second subject you love to qualify for a major, fill out the add major form then - you're allowed to add a major until you petition for graduation.</p>
