I'm sure you have received feedback on this, but I am gonna give my 2 cents as well. I am persuing the undergraduate degree in EE. In all honesty, I think that Aero is a subset of ME. They do very similar work just in different applications. I think that if aero is really something you want to do, get the masters in it. I agree with Matt on this point, and the fact that the aero industry is full on or full off. I have friends in aero who have experienced great difficulties getting jobs or co-ops/internships in the Aero Engineering field. If it were me, I would get the bachelors in ME and the Masters in Aero. Now, as far as EE or ME goes, there is a great difference between the two. I think you kind of have to decide which you like better. For me, I found the circuit analysis classes to be very challenging, rewarding, uniqe, and interesting, that is why I am persuing EE. Now, ME and EE do have some overlap, for examples dynamic control systems. It integrates the field of EE and ME very well because you are using electrical components and circuits to control mechanical devices. Now, you can take many classes on this from either the ME department or the EE department. The ME dept. will give you more of the ME stuff and some of the EE stuff that goes along with it and the EE dept will give you more of the EE stuff and some of the ME stuff that goes along with it.

I think EE is a very broad field as well, it has many different applications. Personally, right now the plan I have is to get my undergraduate degree in EE and get a masters in Biomedical Engineering. Either way, ME or EE are very broad fields that give you a lot of great foundation to pick a specific masters program and focus. If I were in your shoes, my real decision would be either ME or EE.

This was a difficult decision for me as well, between ME and EE. I finally decided EE and I am loving all of it. It's really interesting, and you get to do and learn a lot of new things. It's a very diverse field, and I decided that for what I want to do in my future and for my masters degree, that EE would give me the best backing for that. Take some thought and really think about it between the two majors. In all reality, if you go EE, and don't like it for example, you can always transfer the next semester. I think it's pretty standard for every ME student to take the intro linear circuit analysis class at every engineering program in the country.

Good luck on your decision, and if you have any more questions or concerns, or more specific questions, post then.
