Programs Is a Double Major in EE and Physics Worth an Extra Semester?

AI Thread Summary
A sophomore electrical engineering student is considering a double major in Electrical Engineering (EE) and Physics, which requires only one additional semester. The student is curious about the potential benefits of this double major for future employment and graduate school opportunities. Key points of discussion include the importance of understanding specific career goals and the relevance of the double major to those goals. It is suggested to consult an academic adviser or faculty involved in the EE/Physics program to gain insights on the career paths and graduate programs pursued by past students who completed the double major. This information could help determine if the additional semester is a worthwhile investment.

I am currently a sophomore electrical engineering student. I recently found out that my university offers a double major in EE and Physics that would only require one additional semester beyond the standard EE degree. I am really interested in both physics and EE and I was wondering if this double major would look appealing to future employers or graduate schools and if it would be worth an extra semester.

I guess the question is, what employers and grad school programs are you interested in? Perhaps you can ask your adviser, or another person closely involved with the EE/Physics double major program, who this program is intended for, and what do students who complete it end up doing (i.e. what kind of grad school programs and jobs they pursue).
 

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"...
