But I also want to see what kinda of major it would be if I wanted to have something that focused on programming embedded systems.

If anybody could provide some insight on that of a double major of aero/mech and any difference would be helpful.

Also anything about a embedded systems major would be helpful.
I'm losing track of your age, are you going as a college freshman or as part of the Clarkson School?

If it's TCS, you'll have to hunt around some more, but I'm going to be a freshman in EE, possibly shifting or doubling to CE with an interest in the very same systems. My passion more lies in designing them, I just happen to have cultivated a decent interest and talent in programming them as well, so I'm not sure which path I'll go down, but you should look in to both.
