<p>No, Live, I did not regard you as jumpy. You made me reevaluate my bias. I don't know why, cannot explain it properly, but biased toward a classical education. CP Snow wrote a book a long time ago, Two Cultures and made the telling point that a lit grad may look down on someone who hasn't read Shakespeare but may himself be ignorant of biology or physics. In today's world, the sciences and engineering are perhaps the liberal arts; yet, I hope my son will continue to read good literature.</p>
<p>I don't understand Ken when he wrote, if undergrad major is somehow related to grad major. Does that mean identical, as in undergrad mech eng-= grad mech engr or some equivalence as in applied physics undergrad= EE grad etc. I hope you meant, undergrad anthrop does not equal grad aerospace engr!!</p>
<p>From what you gentlemen say, my son could take an undergrad engr degree and then do grad work in physics or math or vice versa. Or even econ. One further question. Can one have undergrad major in mech engg and then go for grad in CS/EE?</p>
