I changed it to a poll lol. Lots of people were looking only one replied.

What would be the best choice of a dual major to complement aerospace engineering? Refer to this course catalog if needed:

By the way I Plan on going to grad school not immediately to employment. If you want to expand on your answer with a reply that would be awesome. Thanks !

For grad school there's no question that math is most important. You'll want to make sure you don't overextend yourself and lower your GPA as a result though. Usually grad schools will recommend certain math courses, so you might want to check that out too. Physics is the closest alternative, but in engineering it's mostly valuable for its mathematical methods.

There have been a few other posts asking about minors with engineering. If you're interested in anything besides grad school you might want to check those out.

As a scientist specializing in astronautical engineering, I would recommend considering a dual major in mechanical engineering. This would provide a strong foundation in the fundamentals of mechanics and materials, which are crucial in the design and construction of spacecraft and other aerospace systems. Additionally, courses in computer science and programming would also be beneficial, as many modern aerospace systems rely heavily on computer technology.

If you are planning on going to graduate school, I would also suggest considering a minor or additional coursework in systems engineering or project management. These skills are highly valued in the aerospace industry and would make you a well-rounded candidate for future employment opportunities.

It's great that you are considering your options early and planning for your future in the field of astronautical engineering. I wish you all the best in your academic and career pursuits.
