SoCalmom - There are three blocks in the summer: blocks 1, 2 and 3 (not counting block 0). DS and several friends are
finishing their Youngster year, so all of them will be doing PROTRAMID for one of their blocks this summer. Several of
the Comp Eng Mids are doing internships at Naval Post Grad School, MIT Labs, and another one in Florida (cannot recall exactly where).
There are a lot of options for internships for Computer/Electrical Engineering Majors and probably for the other
Engineering Majors as well. Seems like DS applied for other internships at John Hopkins and a Navy location in DC. Most of the
Mids will be on leave for the third block.
As far as selecting a major, DS talked to a lot of folks at USNA during/after Plebe Summer, attended the
Major Night events, and talked to folks at USNA before selecting his major. Also, Comp Eng and Elec Eng are pretty close,
so DS had the option to transfer to Elec Eng if he didn't like Comp Eng and some Mids will double major in both.
If you have any specific questions on Comp Eng Major, please reply or shoot me a PM. Be glad to share the little I know.
I think the most popular Engineering Majors at USNA are Systems Eng and Mechanical Eng. Congrats to your DS and the best to him.
