We have a common first year in engineering here at the U of Western Ontario, after which we specify which field of engineering we want to go into (2nd year). Well, I wanted electrical and I just found out I got in. Woohoo! So anyway, that news made me very happy 
Now I just need to decide if I want to do a concurrent degree in economics, physics, or computer science. Hmmmmm, any advice?
How much of a techie are you? If you think you’d be interested in management, econ will be a leg up on an MBA. However, if you’re not interested in that, you can’t beat CS for employability. and to muddy it a little more, if you like RF or solid state, there’s physics.
Don’t feel bad, not everyone can make it as a Mechanical Engineer. 
Congratulations! You have one hell of a lot of work ahead of you but it will be worth it.

You do realize that the Government (i.e. the Man) will now be checking up on you to make sure you’re not a terrorist…
Don’t listen to hajorio, Mech E’s are merely glorified auto-mechanics!
Seriously, though, I hope you enjoy your career as an undergradute EE, I started out as EE, but then I switched to BME (that’s biomedical for those not in the biz.) It sounds like your pretty excited by it, so I assume that you’ll enjoy it, unlike me who was kinda like “eh, I’ll give electrical a shot.”
And as for a concurrent degree, economics will help with marketing of that new stereo you’ll be makin’, physics will help with the building of it, and the com sci willhelp with the embedded control you’ll have to put in there. I would personally go with com sci, but go with whatever you seem to like most. (Of course, this is coming from a guy who hates com sci, but I tend to hate economics more, and physics is just so damn tricky.)
Congrats, Trigonal! Don’t know about your program, but where I went to school, EE was the most difficult major to be accepted into.
How about something completely different like Art History?
Say Peg, who studied Neuro and Eng Lit.
Actually, I’'m seriously considering film studies. Its just that art timetables don’t really “overlap” well with engineering timetables.
I have no idea which to choose. I’m interested in all of them. I figure econ would be good for getting into higher-level business positions (which I am interested in).
But physics and CS just seems so useful from a practical sense, and would go along way in combination with EE.
Congrats! Get some sleep while you can…

I am a scientist, not an engineer, but if there is one thing I wish I had done sooner its take some courses in economics. Actually I’d like to get an MBA but its harder to do at this point in my life. So my vote would be economics. To me, EE and Comp Sci. are so close that there is little point in getting degrees in both. I have a cousin who is an EE but he is basically the main IT guy for a major corporation.
Diversify, dude!
