Ouch...that's a ton of more time compared to getting a BS in ECE...or even an MS.
Is there a way an ECE major (BS hopefully) can work w/ something related to space?
Like, space telescope optics/lenses? Or the computer systems in things sent out into space?
Or do those usually demand a Ph.D...
I'm a freshmen in Electrical/Computer engineering, but I think I'd rather do something much more fundamental in science, and after a few months of narrowing down, I came upon astronomy and astrophysics.
I know that a Phd is basically required, so that's 4-5 years after undergrad.

Neither, get a Thinkpad or Vaio. Thinkpad = engineers tool/niche thing. Vaio = if you want power (you can have power w/ thinkpad too, but the current ones use the nvidia cards like dell and apple do, which are bad).
I highly recommend Vaio FW w/ radeon card. it has 1066mhz FSB. get it from...
I called up the Engineering dept. at my college and asked them about switiching to EE. They said the paperwork for switching to Physics is still working its way through, and so I should wait and make the change once I get there in August.
I think I made the right decision; can't wait until...
I start my freshmen year this fall (yeah, i know, there's time to change). I was originally in CompE because I choose it without really researching. Then switched to Physics because, like everyone else here, I'm interested in finding new things and String theory, and what not.
But that's...
Either Calc III or some Physics book (not textbook). Someone recommended "Universe in a Nutshell" by Steven Hawking.
Background: AP Calc BC (wholesome/very good understanding) and AP Phys. B (last year, got a 5).
If Calc III, then please no expensive textbook suggestions. Just need a fairly...

There's 4 ways to go into Physics. The College of Engineering has its own Engineering Physics, while the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has it's own:
"Science and Letters" -?
"Specialized" -?
The teaching option I'm not...
I'm supposed to go for Computer Engineering undergrad at UIUC this fall. BUt now I feel like I'd rather learn about the fundamentals of the universe, elementary particles, etc. instead of a routine set of instructional stuff in CE.
I know I want to learn that stuff. But what can I do with a...
