<p>Most of the physics courses contain the basics of engineering in them. So physics would be a great major for someone who wants the LAC experience. Some companies will consider a physics major for an engineering position if the person has an area of expertise that the company is looking for ie. lasers, semiconductors etc. So major in physics and double major or minor in something you love at an LAC. But consider doing a research project in an ‘engineering’ area of physics. Also try for internships at engineering companies.</p>
