With all the lab reports you have to write, I would say studying Engineering could be a pretty good way to get into technical writing. Why the hell you would want to be a technical writer I have no idea, but then I'm not really sure why I want to be an engineer. I still manage to fit Philosophy and Physics courses into my schedule though, which is what really interests me.

But yeah, I'm a first year ECE major too and I'm having my doubts. I think I'd do better with a dual degree in Physics and Computer Science or something, I think writing programs to simulate theoretical physics would be pretty cool.
