Eligibility for MS Aerospace Engineering. please help !

Hi,
I am currently completing Undergraduate program in Electronics & Communications Engineering (due for completion in July 2012). I want to pursue MS Aerospace Engineering in the US.
Can anybody please tell if I am eligible for the program ?
Which are the colleges I can hope to get through as I neither have an Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering background nor big academic achievements ?

Your best bet is to contact the colleges directly to find what would be needed. In my junior and senior years, several of my courses had some Masters students who had switched majors taking courses to learn the fundamentals.

Thanks. I have contacted many colleges & most say that an Aerospace/Mechanical background is not an absolute requirement. I am ready to do self-study to brush up on all the Aerospace basics but my question is if a good college will accept me for their graduate program since their first preference would be applicants with aerospace background.

They may accept you on the basis that you must take several of their undergraduate aero/mechanical courses to meet their applicant requirements. It depends on the school.

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in pursuing a MS in Aerospace Engineering. Based on the information provided, it appears that you may be eligible for the program. However, eligibility requirements may vary depending on the specific university and program you are interested in. It is best to check with the admissions office of the universities you are interested in to confirm their specific requirements and if you meet them.

As for your background in Electronics & Communications Engineering, while it may not be directly related to Aerospace Engineering, it is still a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) field which can be beneficial for your application. Additionally, many universities also consider relevant work experience and extracurricular activities when evaluating applicants.

Regarding your academic achievements, while they may not be "big" in your opinion, it is important to highlight any academic achievements or awards you have received in your application. This can help demonstrate your dedication and potential in the field of Aerospace Engineering.

As for specific colleges, it is difficult to say without knowing your academic background and interests. It is recommended to research and compare different universities and their programs to find the best fit for you. You can also reach out to current students or alumni to get a better understanding of their experiences and the opportunities available at their university.

I wish you all the best in your pursuit of a MS in Aerospace Engineering. Do not let your background or perceived lack of academic achievements discourage you. With determination and hard work, you can achieve your goals. Good luck!
