How long would it take for me to get a major in mechanical,electrical,aerospace and nuclear engineering? All bundled together? What order should I take these?

OP said how long, so we gave our calculations of the rough length it would take to do these subjects.

>>1149181
Not sure, OP really needs to give more information otherwise I won't be able to work out how much work he'll have to do either. As a guess I'd say about 1.5x10^9 Joules, but that's a pretty rough estimate.

OP here

so.....should I just major in physics and hope I'm qualified to work in aerospace and nuclear rocketry?

>> No.1149226

>>1149212
Physics is a useless major. You would only deal with theories and formulas.

Engineering is the application of all those theories+knowing the theories.

>> No.1149234

>>1149226
But what about all those scientists at research centers don't they build stuff and test theories?

>> No.1149243

How are you going to fund the courses?

If you work whilst study statistics show you will get worse grades.

you would have to be highly disciplined to do this.

>> No.1149256

>>1149243
I have a 5 year contract with the military to design stuff if I get the degrees. They pay for all of it.

>> No.1149309

You could get a dual major in mechanical and aerospace in 5 years at some schools.

From there, you could get a master's and then a PhD in electrical and nuclear in either order you want. This is because you only need a bachelor's of science to enter a graduate program, but not one in the exactly field of study. And master's and PhD will take 2 years each.

So probably 9 years.

But it sounds like you just don't know what you want to do. Mechanical is the most broad, so I would just get that degree with maybe a minor in one of the others. Go to graduate school and do one of the others after if you still feel you want to. Or just go into industry and specialize in whatever you like over time.

Get to college, and find out when you need to take what courses, what courses you need for other courses, and which semesters said courses are offered. You should realize that this is possible if you've ever been to college.

ODUfag here, I was considering doing that for a while, but then I decided against it. The only real use it would be to me is great grad school preparation for physics, but physics isn't really my thing.

>> No.1149667

the first 2 years of aerospace and ME overlap.

the first 1.5 years of ChE and NE roughly overlap.

if you were insane, taking the maximum courseload every quarter, you could probably achieve the remaining 2-2.5 years of upper division classes in 5 years.


of course, no school would ever allow you to do this, so you would have to apply to another school.


and universities often charge more money if you already have a bachelors degree in something else.


there is, of course, nothing preventing a ChemE from getting a PHD in ME or AE or NE.


PHD and undergraduate are not linked to the hip.

you can cross study.
