Knowledge needed for the University

AI Thread Summary
When considering aerospace engineering programs in the U.S. and U.K., Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is highly recommended for its strong curriculum, supportive professors, and research opportunities. A solid foundation in math and physics is essential for admission, with a suggested GPA of 3.0 or higher. Other notable institutions mentioned include the University of Michigan, MIT, and Georgia Tech, which are also recognized for their aerospace programs. Prospective students should focus on their specific interests within aerospace, such as space or atmospheric routes. Ultimately, choosing the right university depends on personal goals and commitment to the field.

I want to study aerospace engineering in an university of the United States of America, or in the United Kingdom.

I have been thinking about the University of Michigan, The MIT, The University of Liverpool, The Rutgers University, The Stanford University, The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, The Purdue University, The University of Bristol, The Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering, or the California Institute of Technology.

Which do you recommend me?What knowledge I need to have before I entry in an University of this kind?

My native language is Spanish

I'm biased and would recommend Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University mainly because I am so impressed at the program here (and I'm a student). The professors here are amazing and apply a physical situation to every concept they run by you. They do very interesting research here with a multitude of companies and offer excellent clubs for any - if not all - of your engineering tastes. You only need to have a love of math and physics to get in here. I would recommend a GPA of above 3.0 (which is what I had). Honestly, its not that difficult to get in...but the course is tough and only the committed make it out.

Again I'm impressed of what I have seen here so far and I intend to do my masters here. (They have an accelerated masters program - which means if you start as a complete freshman, you have your BS in AE and an MS in AE in 5 years, of which I intend to do.) The professors are so helpful and provide, so many tools to use such as tutoring all week long.

Just make sure this is something you really want to do.

In the end its your choice but Embry-Riddle is worth looking into. Here is their site www.erau.edu

Hablas espanol? Entonces, me gustaria verte aqui un dia!

Which campus?

Are these schools that you have already gotten into? Or just a Christmas wish list, hah.Anyways, I'm currently doing my Aerospace Engineering degree at UT Austin, another one of the top 10 aerospace schools. I'd also add Georgia Tech to your list if your focus in on Aerospace engineering.There's really nothing much you can do before school except to just have a general interest in aerospace engineering, a firm/solid foundations in physics and math, as they are critical to Aerospace engineering and well, practically every other engineering majors out there.What specifically are you interested in for aerospace? Space route, atmospheric route..?
 
Pilot training is critical to safe flying. I watched the following video regarding the crash of TAM 402 (31 October 1996), which crashed into a Sao Paolo neighorbood about 25 seconds after takeoff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAM_Transportes_A%C3%A9reos_Regionais_Flight_402 The pilots were never trained to handle such an event (the airline had asked the manufacturer about training for this event), since it was considered too improbable (so rare) by the manufacturer. There was no...
Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
