Echoing your comment. It took me until senior year of college to discover that control theory was a thing, and only then when I was conversing with a postdoc on their research. It's sort of an EE / MechE topic, but definitely a worthwhile learn if OP wasn't already planning on it.

Separately, RicePaddy, I had friends who enjoyed taking a mushroom biology class. It can be interesting, depending on your personality, and adds a fun dimension to going on hikes or even through cities that get a bit of rain.

And it's so weird, because, at least as an EE, they teach it to us starting as sophomores, but in a very applied manner.

Then I took controls and realized that I had been doing this all along. We just weren't told the names or given the generality.
