Programs Mechanical + Electrical Double Major

AI Thread Summary
A student is considering a double major in electrical and mechanical engineering, currently enjoying a statics course. They seek insights on the feasibility and duration of pursuing this double major, noting it would take seven years at their university compared to four for a single major. There is minimal overlap in required courses between the two disciplines. Suggestions include exploring a mechatronics degree, which may offer a blend of both fields, though the student is uncertain about elective credit transfer between the majors. The discussion highlights the complexities and time commitment involved in pursuing dual engineering degrees.

Currently, I'm going into electrical engineering, but I've been considering a double major with mechanical engineering. I'm taking a statics course right now and am really enjoying it. It definitely seems like something in which I'd be interested. If anyone is doing this, studying either major, or has some insight they'd like to contribute, I would like to get opinions on an EE+ME double major.

How long would that take at your university? It'd take 7 years at mine, vs 4 years for either... There is very little cross over in courses.

Have you looked at a mechatronics degree?
 
I'm not entirely sure how long it would take. I'm not sure if I could count mechanical engineering classes as electives for electrical engineering and vice versa. Most likely not, since it sounds too easy xD.

I have not. I'm assuming the curriculum would focus more on control systems in machines and stuff like that, but I could be dead wrong hahaha.
 

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.
