If I have a BS on Physics, could I move and pursue into a MS in Aerospace engineering without having a BS on Aerospace E.? Would be easier if I had a BS in Astrophysics?
Hahah surempresic said:I think I can be a bit more supportive than Wastrophysicist.
mpresic said:I think the best degree for preparation to a graduate degree in aero is an undergraduate aero degree, but physics is probably a strong second (or maybe third behind mechanical which in some schools encompasses aero).
mpresic said:I do not think astrophysics would have and advantage over physics save for the fact that astrophysics majors at my university 40 years ago were required to take two courses Classical Mechanics and Advanced Classical Mechanics both at the Junior-Senior level. Unfortunately, most physics programs these days no longer offer two Semesters in Junior/Senior Classical mechanics.
An MS in Aerospace Engineering is a graduate degree program that focuses on the design, development, and manufacturing of aircraft and spacecraft. It covers a wide range of topics such as aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, and systems.
The specific requirements may vary depending on the university, but most programs require applicants to have a bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field, strong academic background in math and science, letters of recommendation, and a competitive GRE score.
Graduates with an MS in Aerospace Engineering can pursue careers in the aerospace industry, working for companies involved in aircraft and spacecraft design, manufacturing, or research and development. They can also work in government agencies, defense contractors, or in academia.
Students in an MS in Aerospace Engineering program will gain a strong foundation in math, physics, and engineering principles. They will also develop skills in computer-aided design, problem-solving, project management, and teamwork. Additionally, they will gain specialized knowledge in areas such as aerodynamics, propulsion, and structures.
If you have a passion for aerospace and a strong aptitude for math and science, an MS in Aerospace Engineering may be a good fit for you. It is a challenging and rewarding program that can lead to exciting career opportunities in the aerospace industry. However, it is important to research and consider your interests and skills before making a decision.
