I would concentrate on the Electrical Engineering part of your degree.
The reason why robots are not as pervasive as they could be is the lack
of complex software to control them. The mechanics of a robot are not
that difficult to master even without any higher education. The
software, and to some extent electronic design, abilities needed are
more substantial.
I majored in Electrical Engineering and I currently spend 10 to 20% of
my career designing hardware and the remaining 110% of my time writing
embedded software for these designs. The software part I was able to
pick up myself, but I doubt if I could have learned the Electronic and
Digital Signal Processing areas of my career without a 4 or 5 year
degree (plus some DSP graduate courses).

I am just looking for advice. I go to college in Montana at Montana
Tech. Since they don't offer a robotics degree of any sort I chose to
get a dual major in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering along with
circuitry and let'em rip. My main question is have I chosen the right
education path and does a job like this exist. Thanks.
