Programs Computer Engineering Major + Physics Minor?

AI Thread Summary
Majoring in computer engineering (CompE) with a minor in physics can lead to various career opportunities in technology and engineering fields, particularly in roles that require a strong understanding of both hardware and software systems. While a minor in physics may not significantly enhance employment prospects, it can provide valuable analytical skills. A dual major in computer engineering and electrical engineering (elecE) may offer broader career options and potentially better preparation for graduate school, especially for those interested in advanced studies in engineering or applied sciences. Ultimately, the choice between a minor and a dual major should align with individual career goals and interests in specific engineering disciplines.

What kind of careers could I get if I majored in computer engineering with a minor in physics? Or does a dual-major in compE and elecE make more sense? Which is better for grad school? Thanks!

I don't think a minor in physics will drastically alter your employment prospects, ie, you'll probably find a CompE related job.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
