Astronautical Engineering Guidance

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Aerospace engineering is fundamentally a subset of mechanical engineering, necessitating a strong foundation in both physics and specialized mechanical courses. Engaging in additional classes outside of the core curriculum can enhance understanding and provide a broader perspective on relevant topics. Students are encouraged to explore diverse subjects to complement their aerospace studies, which can lead to a more well-rounded educational experience.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of mechanical engineering principles
  • Basic knowledge of physics concepts
  • Familiarity with aerospace engineering fundamentals
  • Ability to select and enroll in elective courses
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced mechanical engineering courses relevant to aerospace applications
  • Explore physics topics that intersect with aerospace engineering
  • Investigate elective classes in related fields to broaden knowledge
  • Learn about the latest aerospace engineering technologies and trends
USEFUL FOR

Aerospace engineering students, mechanical engineering students, educators in engineering disciplines, and professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of aerospace principles.

I'd say either physics or mechanical. Aerospace engineering is essentially a subset of mechanical, so you'd probably be picking up some of the more "traditional" or more specialized classes that have been foregone for the topics deemed important for an aerospace engineer. Physics would give a broad sense of the other areas of physics (profound, I know) that aren't thought much about in your area of engineering. Another option is just to take additional classes that you're interested in (from whatver department they might be in) without declairing a second major.
