Should I double major in Civil Engineering and Electrical Engineering? |
Should I double major in Civil Engineering and Electrical Engineering and if so what are the pros and cons of each. Will it be really hard to do both and if so how much harder will it be 2 double major I agree. My wife has a mechanical engineering degree and, talking to her, I know that electrical and especially civil are completely unrelated. You would pay for two degrees, but would need to pick a job in one or the other. Since it makes more sense to choose one, just pick electrical engineering, it pays much better. Civil is for government work and who wants to do that? That choice of double major does not make a lot of sense. They typically do not compliment each other. It would basically be an additional 34 hours of classes to do this. The E.E. classes would be far be the harder of the two. I would suggest you think of getting 1 BS degree and a masters. It will serve you better and not be much more work. Hope this helps. No, you should not double major in those two majors because the upper level courses are totally different and you will just end up adding 2 to your time in college. And employers will see that and will figure that you can't make up your mind and will not spend time and resources to recruit you or hire you. I wouldn't recommend Civil Engineering unless you really, really want to get into it. Because Civil Engineers are the lowest paid engineers out there and they carry the most liability burden and the most fees to keep your Professional License. |
