From chemical engineering to aerospace engineering

AI Thread Summary
Transitioning from a chemical engineering degree to aerospace or aeronautical engineering is feasible, with several pathways available. Pursuing a master's degree in aerospace engineering after completing a bachelor's in chemical engineering is a viable option, especially for those interested in the mechanical aspects of the aerospace industry. Specializing in fuel or materials is a common route for chemical engineers entering aerospace, but a direct focus on mechanical engineering can align more closely with interests in aircraft design and propulsion.Another option is to pursue a master's in mechanical engineering, which may offer a smoother transition and allow for specialization in aerospace applications. Alternatively, obtaining a second bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering could be considered, as it would only require an additional one to two years of study due to overlapping coursework. Ultimately, the best choice depends on individual career goals and interests in the aerospace sector.

I am about to finish my Chemical engineering degree, but i am starting to lose interest in it. instead, I am getting really interested in aerodynamics, jet propulsion, aircraft design, and other stuff involving aerospace/aeronautical engineering. I was wondering if it is possible to get an aerospace/aeronautical engineering master degree, after finishing my bachelors in chemical engineering...

can't be satisfied making jet fuel? :D
 
I know that the easiest way, for a chemical engineer, to get into the aerospace industry, is by specializing in fuel or materials, but i REALLY want to get into the mechanical aspect of that industry. That is why i want to get degree in aerospace engineering.

My 2nd option is getting a masters in mechanical engineering, which seems to be a little bit easier career change for a chemical engineer. Then specialize in aerospace applications

My 3rd option would be getting a 2nd bachelors degree in mechanical engineering which would take me only about 1 or 2 extra year since there are many similar courses in both degrees. Then take a masters in aerospace engineering.

Please answer which of the 3 is the best option, or if it is even worth doing...
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
