Physics and Aeronautical Engineering

Click For Summary
Graduates with a physics degree can transition into aeronautical engineering roles, although specific requirements may vary by university and employer. Many institutions may require prerequisite courses in engineering principles, and some positions may prefer or require additional qualifications. The discussion emphasizes the importance of checking the specific entry requirements of the desired aeronautical engineering programs and potential employers. Experiences of individuals who have successfully made this transition are sought to provide insight into the feasibility of entering the field directly with a physics background.

Good afternoon,

I am a physics major, with a minor in chemistry and I have another degree in nanotechnology. I don't have much of an engineering background. (Meaning classes that I have taken.) My belief is I can do anything an engineer does.
My main question is, has anyone only graduated with a physics degree and gone straight into aeronautical engineering without a Ph.D?

Thank you

Im already enrolled in a university,
I am asking if any got their degree in physics and went straight to an Aeronautical engineering job?
 
TL;DR: Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? Hi, I want to learn ultrafast optics and I am interested in condensed matter physics, ie using ultrafast optics in condensed matter systems. However, before I get onto ultrafast optics I need to improve my electrodynamics knowledge. Should I study Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? My level at the moment is Griffiths. Given my interest in ultrafast optics in condensed matter, I am not sure which book is better suited for me. If...
