    Degree Ee Minor
AI Thread Summary
Choosing a minor to complement an Electrical Engineering (EE) degree can significantly depend on individual career goals and interests. Popular suggestions include mathematics and statistics, physics, or mechanical engineering, as these fields align closely with EE principles. For those considering management roles, business or economics courses may be beneficial. Additionally, pursuing graduate courses can enhance technical expertise. It's emphasized that the relevance of the minor lies in the course content rather than the title itself. For students aiming for graduate school, even a minor in music can be valuable, especially if it aligns with personal interests. Ultimately, the decision should reflect both professional aspirations and personal passions.

Probably mathematics and statistics with some theory of probability. Or you could minor in physics or mechanical engineering.

What are you goals after college? It all depends. It also depends what you are interested in.

I think this is absolutely correct.

It's also important to keep in mind that calling something a "minor" doesn't really help you at all. The important thing is the content of the courses and how it feeds your interests and furthers your goals.

If you see yourself in management, take a few business or economics courses. If you are interested in more advanced engineering, consider a few graduate courses. If you can't make up your mind, take a few art history, music, or philosophy courses.
