Morehead State -- Space Systems Engineering MS

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a newly accepted student inquiring about a rigorous program related to space manufacturing in Kentucky. Concerns are raised about the school's reputation and the degree's applicability in engineering roles. Responses indicate that graduates can work in engineering, primarily in systems engineering or management rather than direct design or manufacturing. The program is described as having a hybrid curriculum that balances operations and design, with impressive facilities noted. The student expresses intent to conduct further research into the program and similar options, such as those at Johns Hopkins.

Hi, I was just accepted to this program and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it. It seems quite rigorous, but my main concern is that I know little of the school. The research looks quite interesting and I know that Kentucky is injecting large amounts of funding to the local space manufacturing industry, but would I be able to work in an actual engineering capacity with this degree, or is meant more for technicians?

Thanks.

If no one has experience with this program, perhaps someone has knowledge of the one at Johns Hopkins or the like?

You would definitely be able to work in engineering roles, though from my research it indicates more of a systems engineer/management role rather than design or manufacture if that makes sense. Though a ms in astronautical engineering should alsp be considered.

Yeah, it seems like a hybrid operations/design curriculum? but the facilities that they have seem pretty impressing. I think I'll do more research. Thanks for the reply.
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
