Agree 100%...I have an MS in Electrical Engineering from a large State
University...I swore that I would never be a programmer, but that is a
major part of what I do and I have had to learn many languages and
operating systems over the years.
So I would also suggest engineering/math/physics as her area of study
...the programming she will learn in foundation courses and on the side.
Computer Engineering is a strong choice as you can learn how hardware
and software interact.
I would also push her towards a good State school...they are much cheaper
and have infinitely better engineering and science programs than most
small lib-arts schools, which tend to be private. The Engineering
departments tend to be a-political, so you don't have to worry about
indoctrination...that will come from the outside campus.

Good points. Do engineering/math/physics and pick up the programming on the side like we did.

I have a 12 year old niece I’m helping plan for. she wants to be a lawyer, but Ive told her do a engineering undergrad, ten law school and rule the world.
