You can major in anything you like. I have a cousin who was an East Asian studies major at Columbia and now she's a dentist. I was a biochemistry major and I did my graduate work in microbiology (ok maybe not the best example).

I realize that the engineering degree probably has a lot more requirements than the Asian American degree so you're most likely doing the right thing by concentrating on engineering, but definitely enjoy the time you have taking your asian am classes.
