Engineering Aerospace Engineering Course requirements

AI Thread Summary
Aerospace Engineering focuses on the design and research of aircraft and spacecraft, with a particular interest in spacecraft design expressed in the discussion. The main inquiry revolves around the essential core course requirements for a specialization in astronautical engineering, especially for someone majoring in Physics due to the lack of an aerospace engineering program at their school. The individual seeks to understand which critical aerospace courses might be missing from a Physics curriculum that are necessary for pursuing a master's degree in aerospace engineering. The University of Michigan's course requirements are referenced for further context.

Hello! I'm here to ask a question regarding Aerospace Engineering. And before I do so, I just want to make sure my definition of Aerospace Engineering is correct. It's a field involved in the design and research of aircraft or spacecraft . And if my definition is correct, I would like to state that I'm more interested in the field of designing spacecraft . With that in mind, here is my question.

As you may have already read from the title, what are the course requirements for aerospace engineering (astronautical)? And by courses I mean, what are the essential core courses. Unfortunately my school doesn't provide a major in aerospace engineering, so I've chosen Physics as my major. Hopefully I can get into a graduate school for a masters in aerospace with a bachelors in Physics. But, due to this gap, I was wondering what courses might not be covered as a Physics major that will be a major requirement for aerospace?

Thank you in advance!

Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
