Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The University of Pennsylvania's Electrical Engineering (EE) minor is highly beneficial for physics majors. The curriculum enhances applied thinking and provides a practical framework that complements theoretical physics knowledge. Many physics students successfully pursue this minor, leveraging their background to excel in EE courses. This combination is recognized as advantageous in both academic and professional settings.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of electrical engineering principles
  • Familiarity with physics concepts and theories
  • Knowledge of applied mathematics
  • Interest in interdisciplinary studies
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specific EE courses offered in the UPenn minor
  • Explore the integration of physics and electrical engineering concepts
  • Investigate career opportunities for physics majors with an EE minor
  • Learn about the application of applied mathematics in electrical engineering
USEFUL FOR

Physics majors, students considering an interdisciplinary approach, and anyone interested in enhancing their engineering skills through a minor in Electrical Engineering.

A lot of physics majors at various places minor or even double major in EE. From what I have heard, your physics knowledge will give you a huge advantage in EE courses and the EE courses will give you a more applied way of thinking.
