Building Blocks

OK so based on my last entry I realized that I needed to sit down and actually figure out a plan of attack for the next three years, assuming I keep my upcoming fall schedule the way it is. So for all the possible scenarios I had in mind I made a 3 year plan for each of them. Then I graded each possibility on 3 criteria: difficulty, self satisfaction, and worldly satisfaction (how it looks on a résumé, etc.). And like how HW and tests are weighed differently, I used 65% for self, 45% for world, and -10% for difficulty. Well, I don’t know if that constitutes a valid use of weighing, but at least it adds to 100%. So I ran my analysis and had two clear frontrunners:

Double major in General Math and Mechanical Engineering, get a minor in Physics

Double major in General Math and Engineering Math, quintuple minor in Economics, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, and Physics

So the quintuple minor is still a possibility! And the first plan is eerily similar to one I had haphazardly made for an Engineering class project (Project 4, for those of you in the know). So, at least for now, a couple of things are certain:

I’m getting a Math degree
I’m getting at least a minor in Mechanical Engineering
I’m getting a Physics minor

The rest still waits in the balance.
