A bridge degree between electronics engineering and planetary science is not explicitly defined, but the integration of signal processing is a key area where these fields intersect. Pursuing degrees in astronomy and planetary science can complement a background in electronics, particularly in data analysis and engineering equipment for scientific research. Careers in this combined field may include roles in signal processing, data analysis, and engineering for astronomical instruments.
PREREQUISITESStudents and professionals interested in merging electronics engineering with planetary science, particularly those exploring careers in astronomy, data analysis, and engineering for scientific applications.
arjose said:Does anyone here know of a possible bridge degree between a bachelor's deg in electronics engineering and a degree in planetary science? I plan to pursue degrees in astronomy and then planetary science without wasting my five years with electronics. Is it possible to link them? If so, what careers can I have with this combination?

One thing that sticks out with electronics and astronomy is signal processing. Have you done any of this? (Be it using hardware or software or a combination of both)?
There is a lot of data to analyze, and signal processing should be a significant part of that, so maybe that might be a lead for you.
