Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around choosing an engineering branch for undergraduate studies in India, with a focus on specializations related to space technology. Participants explore various engineering fields that could lead to careers in this area, considering both personal interests and practical implications.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a desire to pursue space technology but seeks alternatives to aerospace and aeronautical engineering.
  • Another participant argues that aerospace and aeronautical engineering are the most relevant fields for space technology, but acknowledges that mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and mechatronics could also be applicable depending on specific interests.
  • A suggestion is made to explore company profiles, such as SELEX Galileo, to understand the educational backgrounds of employees working in satellite design and testing.
  • One participant notes that their visit to the SELEX Galileo website was not particularly helpful.
  • A later reply emphasizes that the choice of engineering branch should align with personal interests and the availability of programs based on entrance exam rankings, suggesting that interdisciplinary fields like space technology allow for flexibility in choice.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the best engineering branch to choose for a career in space technology. There are multiple competing views regarding the relevance of various engineering disciplines.

Contextual Notes

Participants express uncertainty about the utility of specific resources, such as company websites, and the impact of entrance exam rankings on branch selection. The discussion reflects a range of personal interests and the interdisciplinary nature of space technology.

Which engineering branch should i choose!?

Hi
i want to do undergraduate degree from India in engineering and post graduate course from america. Since i was small i was interested in space technology, so what are the branches (apart from aerospace and aero nautical ) in which i can further do specialization in space technology>>>>

Why apart from aerospace and aeronatucal? Obviously these are the most relevant. Depending on the problem you want to work on, however, you can take other branches. There are mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and mechatronics areas of work available in 'space technology'. Engineers may work on things like satellite design and testing, have a look at the website for the company SELEX Galileo. They have a satellite output of around 2 per year to give you an idea of the scale of project. They also have some company profiles in the recruitment section so you can see what subjects other employees have graduated in.

I did got to their website but I'm afraid that it was of not much use !
 


The way these things work is that you pick a branch based on what you can get (if you're entering on the basis of engineering entrance exam rankings) and what your impression of your interests are. If physics is what interests you the most, electrical, mechanical and aerospace engineering will be interesting. Space technology is interdisciplinary, so you can't go wrong with either choice.
