Need help selecting compatible majors

[osnarf]

I was wondering if any of you more experienced people might be able to help me out. I've been doing a lot of research but nothing beats actual experience.

Im just finishing up my AA this semester and am about to transfer to a university. I eventually want to work in aero/astrospace engineering (hopefully astrospace), so aerospace seems to be a good place to start. I was wondering what dual major would go best with it. I was thinking physics because it seems useful and it has always been my favorite, but mechanical engineering also seems like it would be pretty useful. I absolutely plan on taking whichever two I select to the doctorate level so if you have a specialization in mind, please feel free. Thanks! I appreciate your help.

Also, I might do electrical engineering (undergrad only) at some point to satisfy my hobbying.

I should point out I don't want to do a double major to look good on a resume or a grad school application they all just seem like they would be really useful for what I want to do.

Based on your interests in aero/astrospace engineering, it seems like a dual major in aerospace engineering and physics would be the most compatible for your career goals. Physics will provide a strong foundation in fundamental principles and theories that are applicable to aerospace engineering, while aerospace engineering will provide the practical skills and knowledge needed for the field. Additionally, pursuing both to the doctorate level will give you a well-rounded education and make you a competitive candidate for jobs in the industry.

However, if you are also interested in mechanical engineering, you could consider a dual major in aerospace engineering and mechanical engineering. This combination would also be valuable for a career in aero/astrospace engineering, as mechanical engineering principles are often applied in the design and construction of aerospace systems.

As for your interest in electrical engineering, it could be beneficial to pursue this as an undergraduate major if it aligns with your hobbies and interests. However, it may not be necessary for your career goals in aero/astrospace engineering. You could also consider taking elective courses in electrical engineering while pursuing your dual major in aerospace engineering and physics or mechanical engineering.

Ultimately, the best dual major for you will depend on your personal interests and career goals. I would recommend speaking with an academic advisor or career counselor at your university for more personalized guidance. Good luck in your studies and future career in aero/astrospace engineering!
