Need some guidance.

College Majors Math/Computer Science Majors

<p>I am an incoming freshman and I am in a tight spot in terms of picking my major. I personally want to work with companies like Tesla and SpaceX who use code as a basis of physical things. </p>

<p>I want to double major in Physics and CS, but is that a good idea, or should I minor in one? </p>

<p>I do not just want to be a programmer sitting in an office coding all day, I want to build software that creates actual physical things like Tesla cars (fully electric car, everything from suspension to performance is powered by code). When I get a Masters, what would be most appropriate? A degree in Applied Physics or Computational Physics?</p>

<p>What you want sounds more like computer engineering or electrical engineering to me. I didn’t major in either of those so I can’t give you much advice there but you should look into it.</p>
