Should I choose Aeronautical or Astronautical engineering?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on choosing between aeronautical and astronautical engineering degrees for a career in aerospace engineering. The preference is for astronautical engineering, but there is uncertainty about which degree is more advantageous. Many modern programs offer a comprehensive aerospace engineering curriculum that encompasses both atmospheric and space flight, suggesting that a single degree may provide the necessary knowledge for both fields. Additionally, the individual is not planning to reside in the United States, which may influence the choice of program based on international offerings.

I am wanting a degree in aerospace engineering. I do not know which I should choose, aeronautical, or astronautical. I would love to work as an astronautical engineer, but which one of the two is better? I am also not planning to live in the United States of America.

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

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...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
