viscousflow said:I'm assuming
a) you're considering going to some community college before transferring to some large university?
b) you're going to a university which does not have an aerospace engineering degree program?
If it is a) then you want to be taking as many physical science and math courses as you can get your hands on. If it is b) then you want to make sure your university has some mechanical engineering degree with a turbomachinery/fluids option.
Good luck
viscousflow said:No I'm an AE senior student. However, I went through a similar process of statement a) where I had to attend a community college first then transfer to a large university. As long as you can gain Calculus 1 - 3, Physics 1-3, and basic humanities, you should have no issue transferring to a large university with an aerospace program. I did the same thing and had great results, now I'm ready to graduate.
Aerospace engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the design, development, and production of aircraft and spacecraft. It combines principles from mechanical, electrical, and materials engineering to create and improve flight technologies.
Some important skills for aerospace engineers include strong math and physics abilities, critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and attention to detail. It is also helpful to have a strong background in computer-aided design (CAD) software and programming languages.
Aerospace engineers can work in a variety of industries, including government agencies, defense contractors, and private companies. Some common job titles in this field include aircraft or spacecraft design engineer, systems engineer, propulsion engineer, and flight test engineer.
Most aerospace engineering positions require a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering or a related field, such as mechanical or electrical engineering. Many employers also prefer candidates with a master's degree or higher. In addition to formal education, gaining hands-on experience through internships or co-op programs can be beneficial.
Some current trends in aerospace engineering include the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in aircraft design, the development of reusable rockets and spacecraft, and the integration of electric propulsion systems. Additionally, there is a growing focus on sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of air travel.
