Is it possible/okay to get your undergraduate degree in engineering physics and then go into graduate school and get your graduate degree in aerospace engineering>
please help
Thanks
please help
Thanks
It is possible for a compentent scientist or engineer to work abroad. One could work for an airline or aerospace company.Angeline Ling said:Thanks! the link is really useful and make me see clearly what aerospace engineers can do. i think I'm one step further to my decision. Thanks a lot! I wonder can i work in aircraft industry in foreign country? i may not be able to work in Department of Defence or NASA, how about other aircraft industry/company? do you know some examples? Does aerospace engineering deals a lot with electronics?
There are several major vendors of flight avionics, including Honeywell (which now owns Bendix/King), Rockwell Collins, Thales Group, Garmin and Avidyne Corporation.
Undergraduate engineering physics is a broad field that covers the fundamentals of physics and their application in engineering. Graduate aerospace engineering, on the other hand, is a specialized field that focuses specifically on the design, development, and production of aircraft and spacecraft. While both fields require a strong foundation in physics, graduate aerospace engineering goes more in-depth into the principles and techniques used in the aerospace industry.
To successfully pursue graduate aerospace engineering, you will need a strong understanding of physics, mathematics, and engineering principles. You should also have a solid foundation in computer programming, as many aerospace engineering tasks involve the use of computer-aided design (CAD) software. Additionally, having knowledge of materials science, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics will be beneficial.
Yes, it is possible to pursue graduate aerospace engineering even if your undergraduate degree is in a different engineering discipline. However, you may need to take some additional courses to ensure you have the necessary background in physics and other relevant subjects. It is also recommended to have some experience or coursework in aerospace engineering to have a better understanding of the field.
With a graduate degree in aerospace engineering, you can pursue a variety of career opportunities in the aerospace industry. Some common job roles include aerospace engineer, aircraft designer, systems engineer, and research scientist. You could also work in the defense, space exploration, or commercial aviation sectors.
Yes, there is a high demand for professionals who have a strong foundation in both undergraduate engineering physics and graduate aerospace engineering. This combination of skills and knowledge is highly valuable in the aerospace industry, and many companies actively seek out individuals with this background for their engineering teams. Pursuing a graduate degree in aerospace engineering after completing undergraduate engineering physics can open up many exciting career opportunities.
