Applied computer Science in aerospace

AI Thread Summary
Pursuing higher studies in aerospace engineering after a bachelor's degree in computer science presents challenges, particularly in India where the fields are viewed as distinct. To transition into aerospace, it is essential to take relevant courses such as thermodynamics, aerodynamics, and gas dynamics to build foundational knowledge. However, the lack of formal recognition for aerospace subjects in the current program may hinder the ability to declare a double major or enroll in engineering courses. This situation emphasizes the need for strategic planning to bridge the gap between computer science and aerospace engineering, potentially through self-study or supplementary courses.

I am doing my bachelors degree in computer science. but i seriously want to pursue higher studies in aerospace engineering. any cue on how to proceed??

If you're starting out with a BS in comp sci, I'm guessing you'll be working with CFD (comp fluid dynamics) for an MS /M Eng?

If so, you should take aero courses like thermo, aerodynamics, gas dynamics to familiarize yourself with these topics. You may have to declare a double major, because schools sometimes won't let you take engineering courses without actually being an engineer.

Someone with more aerospace knowledge can tell you if other topics are necessary.

Hey! thanks for that..
No its not BS I am doing a btech in comp science..in India. So its different here.. I will not get an oppurtunity to do higher studies in aerospace because here they are considered altogether different fields. Though i still follow aerospace subjects academically, i,ll not get an official certificate for that and thus i can't major in any related subject... That is the main problem.
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
