Physics and Aeronautical Engineering

AI Thread 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?
 

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
