Hey guys,
I am currently a EE major. I have heard from friends and professors that while selecting candidates for MS/PhD, some EE professors tend to prefer physics students over EE students. The reason being that physics people, on average, are more hard-working people. Is this anywhere near true?
The reason that I'm asking this is because I like physics (even though I am an EE). However, I don't have enough passion to go completely physics. I am more into the applications of physics in the electronic fields. If the rumor is true, then I would seriously consider getting a BS in physics then a MS/PhD in EE. Is this a realistic path? Has anyone heard of people doing this?
please pardon me if any of my sentences sound awkward (English is not my native language)
P.S: I've been taking phyics major physics courses (instead of engr major phys) so far. So, don't worry about me not being able to survive in phys major
By the way, for grad school, I wanted to go somewhere East Coast (US). I always wanted to live in a place that has snow :rofl:
The field that I'm interested is the solid state branch of EE. Any suggestions?
thx for the response
