AI Thread Summary
A physics major can lead to a master's in aerospace engineering, as the foundational knowledge in physics is beneficial. Many students successfully transition from physics to aerospace engineering, often through programs that allow for dual degrees. Additional undergraduate courses in engineering may be required, but the physics background is advantageous. Pursuing an Engineering Physics program with a focus on aerospace is another viable option. Overall, transitioning from physics to aerospace engineering is not only possible but can enhance your qualifications.

I am a freshman in college right now. I am going to pursue a physics major. Possibly major in astronomy and physics. I was curious if it would be possible to get a masters in aerospace engineering if I had a gotten a major in physics. Any help in this topic would be greatly appriciated. Thanks.

Hey bud, that's what I'm doing right now, except i am doing a 3-2 program at my school. I'll get a degree in physics from my current college and then go to Case Western Reserve and do aerospace. When I'm through i'll have two degrees one in physics and one in engineering. A similar thing would be to do an Engineering Physics Program with a focus on Aero. To fully answer your question, Yes you can. In fact you would be better off becuase of your physics concertaion. You would need a few undergrad corses but other than that you would be fine.
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
