Ok, so in my other thread people told me I can get a BS in Phyics and then if I chicken out of the 7 year Grad. School thing, I can instead get a Masters in EE, yes? I love the idea of having a choice like that.
So, my question is, if I do decide to switch to EE, would I need to have any engineering background? Like if I hadn't taken a single engineering course in my life, could I still do that? Because the only EE class at my school right now is "fundamentals of EE" which is only a 4 credit course. And I'd have to take a bunch of other stuff like statics or whatever as pre-requisites. I'd much rather just take some C++ courses, since I'm really interested in computer science now (but not enough to spend my entire life in a cubicle =/ ). Or, would it pay off in the long run to take those engineering courses instead?
