A lot of industries seem to use waterfall methods when it comes to software on physical devices that are not standard computers. What kind of software practices have been integrated into your industries to increase efficiency? What do you use?
I’m wanting to break out into additive manufacturing, but I’m not sure how to gain some knowledge/skills in that area besides what I learned in uni. What do you guys think would help me land a job in that area although my experience is primarily in quality?
If you could talk about the classes you took and different types of challenges you faced that’d be great!
(First time trying out reddit so my apologies if i did anything wrong) I recently got my n level results of raw 8 net 6, I was wondering if I were to apply to Ngee Ann Poly aerospace engineering, what are my chances of getting in? My grades if it matters to my acceptance rate
EL:1

I know that Aerospace is a subset of mechanical engineering and I also know alot of people will say that it's better to get a mechanical degree over aero simply because it is broader.
But, is there any advantage of Aero over mechanical?
Is there any jobs that I can get with an Aero degree but not with a mechanical degree?
Thx
Engineering is something I'm interested in, though I don't have a lot of experience. My parents and some others I know tell me that it's a bad idea since it is really difficult and a lot of people struggle to keep their GPA above 3.0. I am prepared to take on difficult workloads, but I am wondering just how hard it is and what I need to do to succeed. I don't want to go in and drop out my first year, regretting that I should've listened to what my parents have said. Thanks
What is Aerospace Engineering? Aerospace engineering is anything related to the production, design, repair, and testing of anything that flies.(Stanzione) This can include planes, helico.
I am a junior in high school, and I am trying to find the best college for myself. I live in the state of Kentucky and don't want to leave, so I have two options: go to University of Kentucky or Morehead State University. MSU offers a Space Systems Engineering degree, and UK offers an Aerospace Engineering degree. If I go to MSU, I will have a free ride with 0 debt. If I go to UK, I will be about $15k in debt per year. Overall, I am trying to decide whether going to UK is worth the debt if I am going to get better employment. Any answers for which option you would pick or if the university matters?
Hi, dunno if it's allowed but I work in the medical field and my bf is aerospace engineering. While he has a lot of other hobbies, he currently got hired as an aerospace engineering and he's very passionate about it. It's both his hobby and his job. He recently built a quadcopter for fun and don't necessarily care about computer parts (keyboard building etc). I literally have no idea what's the equivalent of ps5 for an aerospace engineering. Worst comes to worst I'm getting him F1 tracks made from wood but i’d like to surprise him with something cool.
He loves to build/make stuff, So thinking to go in that direction, looking at $300 max bc I'm still a uni student, maybe $500 if it's super cool. However open to other suggestions.
Update: thinking of buying KSP but wondering if he’ll get too busy to even play games
TLDR: need gift ideas for aerospace engineering bf
After I transfer this fall, I'll pursue a Bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering and hope to work for Boeing or SpaceX. I've been researching the universities for so long that I don't know if confirmation bias has affected me. I heard that I'll miss out on networking opportunities if I go to UC Davis instead of UCLA.
1.) In addition to that, will I receive a lesser quality of education somehow?
2.) To what extent do employers care about my undergraduate university?
I understand that this mirrors other posts about whether or not college prestige matters for engineering majors. I've heard conflicting advice. Some say that companies have a list of preferred universities for applicants, which is especially relevant given how many apply for a single position. Others say experience matters more than the college you went to. I'm just extremely anxious and want to make sure that given my personal circumstances, I'm making the right decision after seeing the big picture.
This is just kind of a rant, any advice/input would be appreciated. I’m a junior mechanical engineering major at a pretty good engineering school. The goal was always to get my masters in aerospace engineering and work on the space related side of industry. I guess I just underestimated how hard it would be to be admitted.
Schools I’m looking at: umich, Georgia tech, Virginia tech, university of Maryland, CU boulder, Cornell, Stanford, MIT, Ohio State, UCLA, UCSD, university of Texas, Texas A&M.
The EASIEST of these schools to get into still hover around a 30 percent acceptance rate. Although most are in the 20’s and some even below 10.
I don’t even have a “safety” school. Do safety’s even exist for aerospace engineering grad school??
Ok rant over thank you for your time
So i live in morocco and my university has a double graduation program with GT. I heard that it was very difficult to find a company that would sponsor my H-b1 visa. Can any international student share his experience please? Thnaks
Hey everyone! I’m currently a bachelors student, from RMIT, and will be doing my masters next year, but I’ll be going straight into the second year. I don’t know anyone who’s doing masters from my cohort so if you’ll be starting your masters or will be in your final year, hmu. Would love to make new friends!! 😄
I'm currently in the process of transferring to UC as a Comp Sci student but I've also been considering doing Aerospace as a second major and was wondering if anyone has experience with this situation, something similar, or just double majoring in general and would be able to give any input in any way. I'm a pretty good student, graduated high school with a 3.8 GPA, last semester I had a 3.7, and I got like a 34 on my ACT I think, but I'm just not sure how hard it is to double major, or what to expect, so any advice/opinions/info would be nice to hear. Thanks.
Happy New Year Purdue Community! I have heard lots of great things about Purdue and it is high on my list of schools that I am considering for aerospace engineering. I realize there are more males than females and I'm wondering if the male aerospace engineer undergrads are welcoming and supportive to the females? Would you say it's more competitive or collaborative? Is it possible to get that tight knit feel of community in such a large school? What do you like best about Purdue and what do you wish was different? Anything you could share would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Last week I applied and yesterday I was accepted to UW's MAE program:
http://www.aa.washington.edu/academics/mae.html
My focus area will be in Controls. I have a Master's degree in Mathematics from 2016 with research focusing on numerical modeling micro-swimmers with NS equation at low Re limit.
I currently work as a commercial pilot flying MD80s in Alaska. I enjoy flying jets and I'm curious to explore opportunities in aerospace that have more quantitative, analytical responsibilities.
My goal for the degree is to work as a Flight Test Engineer for a company like Boeing or Gulfstream. I think it would also be neat to work as a Production Test Pilot, or in some type of blended engineer/pilot role.
I chose the MAE program because (1) its from a reputable school, (2) it will qualify me to work in an engineering capacity, and (3) it allows me to continue flying full-time so I'll still be earning a decent salary and be advancing my flight experience.
It was the only program I applied to. The degree is coursework-only so it won't have a research component or thesis. This is the biggest trade-off.
Does anyone have advice for what to expect from the coursework? Has anyone here completed a similar remote Masters program who might offer advice for making the most of it? Does anyone have any general suggestions for opportunities I should be aware of in the engineer-pilot interface?
Thanks!

I think the title says it all, I’ve been searching it on the internet but would also like to hear out your opinions and experiences. Thanks in advance
Hello guys, I'm interested in aerospace engineering (ingénierie aérospatiale) as you might've guessed and I was wondering if there are any public universities in morocco that have this course, thanks in advance
Hey there! I am 20 years old and I love to explore new things, I never kept a single passion and this might be a good or bad thing concerning my future career.
I am doing decent in university, far from perfect, year 2 at the moment, but it is hard to be honest, but I will never give up, its a challenge for me.
I studied architecture for a few years, astronomy and learned many skills like video editing, 3D rendering and modelling and lately, besides engineering, I learn about religions and some philosophy.
I currently work as a video editor in my spare time for a scientist and together we make 10-15 minutes science documentaries on Youtube.
Should I actually try to just focus on engineering and stop giving so much time to my other passions? What is your experience if you are like me, curious about everything and doesnt know where to stop?
I'm currently a 1st year mechanical engineering student at AUB and I was thinking of where I could potentially do a 1 month internship semester and semester. Aerospace related would be preferable for sure, nevertheless, I wouldn't mind otherwise.
Hello all,
Wondering if anyone here can advice me on which major should I stick with, I'm currently a Mechanical engineer 2-3 year ish and was wondering if I should change my major to Mechanical and Aerospace engineer, but looking at the aerospace flowchart, It seems a lot harder than Mech E which worries me a bit. Any advice?
Hello everyone, I am a high school student who is interested in studying aerospace engineering. However, I've read and heard people saying that aerospace engineering is too specialized and it would be better to go into something like mechanical engineering or computer engineering. Is this true? or would I be fine with an aerospace engineering degree? Forgot to also mention, I am from Canada and live near some aero cities.
