Transitioning from physics BS to aerospace engineering MS

[Angelo Niforatos]

Hi all, I am going to graduate school for Aerospace Engineering. I am a bit nervous because of the fact the my undergrad was in physics. I was wondering if anyone was in the same boat or a similar one that may have some good advice for me before I begin my next big chapter in my education!

Have you taken any engineering courses previously? If not, I suggest that you pick up some undergraduate engineering texts and see if you can read and understand them. If you can, then you may be well prepared. If you cannot, then you might want to think carefully about what you are plunging into.
