  Why do DDP?  Workload  Problems encountered  Advantages and disadvantages of DDP  Why I enjoyed and regretted doing DDP  Q&A Overview

  Broaden knowledge, learn about both disciplines  Do you really need to do 2 degrees to learn about both disciplines?  Better employability?  Not necessarily in today’s working environment  Challenge yourself  Passion for both subjects  Or unsure of which one would suit you Why do DDP?

  Economics  2 hr lectures, 1 hr tutorial per week  Engineering  2 x 2 hr lectures, 1 hr tutorial per week  3 hr labs, only for some modules  Countless hours of project meetings  Typically, 20-24MC workload per semester  Spend more time working compared to single degree?  Nope Workload

  No dedicated system to easily manage DDP curriculum  Single degree has portal that clearly states what modules have yet to be completed  However, staff are nice and helpful, able to advise  Sometimes curriculum can be confusing  What can be double counted?  SEP mapping issues  Integrated thesis vs Separate thesis Problems Encountered

  Broad perspective  Understand both engineering and economics  Sometimes easier to work on projects  The two disciplines seldom mix  Profs from one discipline may not know about concepts in the other discipline  Can appear smart  Economics math much simpler than Engineering  Some modules become that much easier  Macroeconomics, Financial Economics, etc.  Just 1 more year for extra degree  Worth it? Advantages of DDP

  Taxing to do two theses  1 extra year  Worth it? Not so sure considering everyone else has 1- 2 working years experience by graduation  No wage premium after graduation Disadvantages of DDP

  Friends  Learned a lot academically  Broad perspective on many issues  5 years instead of 4  Studying better than working most of the time Why I Enjoyed DDP

  Friends  Graduation year  “Lost” one year of working experience Why I Regret Doing DDP

 Q&A
