SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the optimal double major for an Electrical Engineering (EE) student aspiring to work in an Astronomy-related field, particularly at NASA. Participants concluded that a Physics double major is advantageous for those interested in RF engineering or chip design, while a Computer Science double major is more suitable for careers in computer engineering or control systems. The choice ultimately depends on the specific job roles within NASA that the student aims to pursue.
