SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the feasibility and implications of pursuing a double major in Electrical Engineering (EE) and Mechanical Engineering (ME). The participant is currently enrolled in electrical engineering and is enjoying a statics course, indicating a potential interest in mechanical engineering. The double major would require approximately 7 years to complete at their university, with minimal course overlap. Additionally, the possibility of pursuing a mechatronics degree was mentioned, which may focus on control systems and integration of both engineering disciplines.
