Hi all, I am about to graduate this weekend with a BS in Physics. I applied to, got accepted to, and am going to attend the University of Southern California this fall. Specifically, I am pursuing an MS in Astronautical Engineering through the Viterbi School of Engineering. Since I was accepted into this program I assume they feel like I can make the transition from Physics to Engineering, but I was just wondering what everyone else thinks about this. What difficulties can I expect to face not coming from an engineering background, and is it likely that I will be able to make a successful transition given my background? I plan to stick it out no matter what, but I was just curious as to whether anyone has been in a similar situation before in their academic career. Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.
