Do title master of aerospace engineering exist or you can only be master of aeronautical or astronautical engineering?
Does the title "Masters of Aerospace Engineering" exist?

In summary, the conversation discusses the various titles for a degree in aerospace engineering and how it may vary depending on the university. It is also mentioned that the actual knowledge and skills of an individual are more important than the specific degree title. The speaker also shares their personal experience with a degree in engineering and how it may not always align with the specific field of work.

Did you do any research on this yourself? I put " master of aerospace engineering " into Google and got a pile of hits.

I am a 'master of aerospace engineering' 
I guess the exact title depends on the university issuing the degree.

Does it matter?
I know good Electrical Engineers with degrees in Physics, and I know good Physicists with degrees in Chemistry. It's what you know and what you do that really matters, IMO. Granted, if your degree is in History, people will assume you don't know much Physics.
My undergrad is in "Engineering and Applied Science". If you asked me to build a bridge or a refinery, the results would be scary. What I did was electronics and no one cared that it was called "Engineering".

1. What is a Masters of Aerospace Engineering degree?
A Masters of Aerospace Engineering is a graduate-level degree that focuses on advanced concepts and techniques in the field of aerospace engineering. It is typically pursued by individuals who have already completed a Bachelor's degree in a related field and want to further their knowledge and skills in aerospace engineering.
2. Is a Masters of Aerospace Engineering the same as a Masters in Aeronautical Engineering?
While both degrees focus on the design, development, and testing of aircraft and spacecraft, there are some key differences. A Masters of Aerospace Engineering typically has a broader scope, covering both aeronautical and astronautical engineering, while a Masters in Aeronautical Engineering is more specialized in the design and development of aircraft.
3. What career opportunities are available with a Masters of Aerospace Engineering?
Graduates with a Masters of Aerospace Engineering degree can pursue a variety of career paths, including roles in research and development, design and analysis, systems engineering, and project management in the aerospace industry. They may also work in government agencies, defense contractors, or research institutions.
4. How long does it take to complete a Masters of Aerospace Engineering program?
The length of a Masters of Aerospace Engineering program can vary depending on the individual's academic background and whether they are enrolled full-time or part-time. On average, it takes 1-2 years to complete the degree.
5. What are the admission requirements for a Masters of Aerospace Engineering program?
Admission requirements may vary between universities, but generally, applicants must have a Bachelor's degree in a related field, such as aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or physics. They may also need to submit transcripts, letters of recommendation, and standardized test scores, such as the GRE. Some programs may also require relevant work experience or a minimum GPA.
