Electrical Engineering BS to Aerospace Engineering MS

AI Thread Summary
Pursuing a career in space-related fields, such as satellites, is feasible but challenging, particularly for those transitioning from other engineering disciplines. A background in electrical engineering can provide a solid foundation, especially in avionics within aeronautical engineering. However, the success in this field largely depends on the specific concentration chosen for further studies, as aerospace engineering offers various specializations like fluids, controls, and propulsion. It's important to assess personal strengths and prerequisites for each concentration to ensure a smooth transition into the aerospace sector.

Hello. Is this possible, or would I be missing out on a lot of groundwork? Any options?

I'd like to work on anything involving space, like satellites and such.

Thank you!?

Not to discourage you but if am being honest, it will be difficult. If you're smart enough (which I believe you are ;)), then it should be fine. The easiest part for you will definitely be the electronic side of aerospace, which is avionics if you join aeronautical engineering. All the best :).
 
I looked into doing that when I picked a masters program. It really depends on what you want to concentrate on. Even in aerospace engineering for a masters you can get a wide range of concentrations (fluids, controls, avionics, propulsion, structures, etc)

as an electrical engineer, some of those you will have zero background in, others, like controls, you have all the prerecs required (at least in my case I did)
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
