Completing a double major in EE and ME would require a significant amount of extra time in school and a ton of extra work for questionable benefit. The conventional wisdom on this forum is that a double major is generally not a draw for employers and may possibly have the opposite effect. Both EE and ME are very broad fields that should allow sufficient technical electives to specialize in an overlapping area of interest such as robotics. Pick one and take a few relevant courses from the other.</p>
<p>I’d speculate that recruitment from CE/CS departments is an attempt to reverse the declining enrollment trend in computer-related majors since the early 2000s, following the dot-com bust.</p>
