UChicago...engineering?

[higgsboson]

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I'm new to these forums. I recently got accepted to UChicago, which is one of my top schools. However, I am very interested in engineering but I am also interested in astronomy/astrophysics, a pure science. I know that Chicago is great for pure sciences but I also know it doesn't offer engineering. Is there some path I can take in college that can perhaps help me get on an engineering track while still studying astronomy? I really want to go to UChicago and this question may help me decide.</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Not at Chicago. It tends to look down on the more applied disciplines. </p>

<p>Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) is nearby, but I’ve never heard of any UofC undergrad taking courses there.</p>
