I am looking at what I want to minor in during my undergrad, and even though I have a lot of time before I need to declare one, I would like to know your opinions.
I like programming and am fairly proficient in it, and I feel that programming skills are necessary up to an extent for any STEM major. Plus, the demand for CS stays high, and I've seen a lot of Mech and Aero and EE people online who now mainly do programming as their job. But I know that I would most likely be working a lot with Electrical people in the future, so the EE minor will help me understand their work and be knowledgeable about the electrical components. Lastly, I do plan to get involved in entrepreneurship and management in the long term, and I feel the Business minor will not only guide me with that, but also add to my employability and help me transition into an MBA, if I decide to get one after my undergraduate degree.
In your experience, which of the above things do you interact with the most, and do you even think that minoring in one of the above would be advisable? Or do you suggest another field? My university also keeps non-tech classes as part of the engineering curriculum, so I thought I'd rather minor in something that will expand on my Mechanical background. I know this post should be on the students' subreddit, but I wanted to know from mechanical engineers who are already working. I really do want to graduate with a major and a minor in my hand and make the most out of my time studying there, and I feel that one minor shouldn't be too stressful (though I haven't experienced life as a uni student yet) :).
P.S. there is also a minor in Informatics that my university offers, which goes more into data visualization and information analysis and mapping and that sorta thing, which recently caught my eye.
Thanks a lot for reading and answering!
