What is a good double major with electrical engineering?
Electrical engineers work in a wide variety of situations at NASA. For example, a physics double major would probably be more useful to an EE interested in RF engineering or chip design, whereas a computer science major may be useful to someone in computer engineering or (I presume) control systems.
Can you be an engineer with an economics degree?
If you are interested in both, you can major in engineering and minor in economics or vice versa. Obviously the best choice is a double major in both. Bottom line: No matter how much you plan, a career depends on your performance and your opportunities.
What are the 3 major fields of electrical engineering?
Electrical engineering has now subdivided into a wide range of subfields including electronics, digital computers, computer engineering, power engineering, telecommunications, control systems, robotics, radio-frequency engineering, signal processing, instrumentation, and microelectronics.
Is electrical engineering the hardest major?
Electrical Engineering Electrical Engineers are primarily focused on the physics and mathematics of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. Students consider electrical engineering to be the toughest major mostly because of the abstract thinking involved.
Is it possible to double major in mechanical and electrical engineering?
Double-major possible: Yes. Students may double major only if the second major is outside the School of Engineering and must be approved by the other major and college.
What is harder engineering or economics?
Economics is a hard major. Other STEM majors such as engineering and mathematics are harder than economics. Similar to business, economics is a rather broad major. However, economics is a harder subject because it is more specialized, requires greater critical thinking and analysis, and has more maths involved.
Should I be an engineer or economist?
Both subjects are good if you want to apply mathematical tools to solve real-world problems. However, engineers model and design technical systems, while economists model and design social systems. If you want to work with your hands, a practical engineering degree would suit you better.
What is S in electrical engineering?
In electrical engineering, admittance is a measure of how easily a circuit or device will allow a current to flow. The SI unit of admittance is the siemens (symbol S); the older, synonymous unit is mho, and its symbol is ℧ (an upside-down uppercase omega Ω).
Which branch is toughest in engineering?
Chemical Engineering
- The intersection between physics, chemistry, and math is the first and the foremost reason that makes Chemical Engineering, one of the toughest Engineering branches in the world.
- Chemical engineering is very time-consuming and requires the utmost attention to detail.

Is a degree in economics and engineering a good combination?
Economics training in conjunction with an engineering degree is a great preparation for a job. It is even better if you plan a research career. Make your own career choice! If you want to combine economics and engineering that is a great idea.
What types of Engineering degrees does the University of Miami offer?
At the graduate level, the department offers the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Systems & Control Engineering. We offer minors in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems & Control Engineering, and also in Computer Gaming, and Electronics.
What is the best major for a 2nd degree?
Electrical Engineering, Operations Research, Mathematics, Linguistics, and Economics are among the more popular choices for a second major. However, without a significant amount of AP credit, these second degree opportunities require very tight schedules, as well as an extra semester.
Can I major in two different majors at the same time?
For more information on the Engineering Minors, see the Engineering Handbook section on Engineering Minors. It is also possible to choose a second major from a different college. This is called the concurrent degree option. For example, an Engineering CS Major (who obtains a BS) can obtain a BA in Mathematics.
