Engineering Double majoring in animal science and/or physics and engineering?

AI Thread Summary
Pursuing a dual interest in animal science, particularly zoology, and physics or engineering can lead to a rewarding career path, though it requires careful planning due to the demanding nature of these fields. A typical undergraduate degree in either animal science or engineering takes about four years, while a PhD could extend this by an additional three to six years. Graduates can explore various job opportunities, including roles in mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering, with potential applications in medicine or conservation. Additionally, computer science and engineering skills can be leveraged to develop software for population tracking and simulations, merging interests in both animal science and technology. Balancing these disciplines can be challenging but ultimately fulfilling for those passionate about both areas.

I have always had a love for animals (especially reptiles, I have 5 snakes) and animal science. Especially conservation. But I have also discovered that I have a love for physics and engineering. How many years of schooling are we talking here if I major in somekind of animal science (say, zoology) and/or physics and engineering? What kind of jobs could I get with these degrees? Maybe even a PhD? I'm a sophmore in high school right now.

Thanks.

I'm probably not the best person to be answering this, but I'm kinda interested in this too. Engineering can be a difficult major and adding animal science to that could lead to a very stressful and busy schedule. That said I would imagine that such a combination would be very rewarding if that's where your passion lies. As for jobs: a mechanical/electrical engineer could probably find a niche in medicine, same goes for a chemical engineer, or if you went into computer science/engineering you could design software to track populations, run simulations, etc.
just my two cents
 

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need help!'

Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
