Career questions tagged aerospaceengineering
What degree shall I pursue that will allow me a career in aviation possible piloting? Should I apply for mechanical engineering or other options available? Please let me know what your opinion would be. I really like to build things, but I also wanna fly.
I’m a high school student and my goal in life is definitely to fly. I really enjoyed building things as well. My GPS is 4.0 I’m very diligent about my school work and math is my favorite subject. I like to travel and visited 40 of the 63 National parks in the US. This is when I developed my love for flight.
How do I narrow down potential engineering fields?
Currently, I am stuck between chemical, mechanical, and aerospace engineering. All of these really interest me, but I cannot choose. Thank you!?
How can I go to college to become a pilot for free? #fall25
What are the requirements to become a pilot? What kind of school should I attend to become a pilot? What's better, being a private pilot or being a commercial pilot? Can I study Aeronautical and learn how to fly a plane at the same time? What kind of engineering could I study that also connects to planes/being a pilot? Can I pursue a trade and attend flight school on the side to become a pilot? Is going to the Air Force a good way to learn about planes and how to pilot them? #fall25
Weak in math but dream of becoming an aerospace engineer - where do I start??
I’m currently an AS Level student who wants to pursue aerospace engineering. I never took math seriously until I realized this year that I wanted to enter the field. Since then, I’ve started learning everything I can that’s relevant — reading books on aerospace engineering (such as Introduction to Flight), studying essential programming languages (MATLAB, Python, C++), and experimenting with Arduino projects. I’m doing well in my other STEM subjects (Physics, Biology, and Chemistry), but my weak foundation in mathematics has been a constant concern. I understand that aerospace engineering involves a lot of advanced math, and I want to strengthen this area to prepare for the future.
How do you know what type of engineering you want be?
I've wanted to be an aerospace engineering because I find rockets and airplanes interesting. Is that all there is to it or is there a deeper reason for why I should pick a certain type of engineering.

Questions for an Aerospace Engineer:
Questions for an Aerospace Engineer: What does the day of an Aerospace Engineer look like (more in-depth)? What are the average hours per week? Is there mandatory over-time? Is this a very creative job? Or is it your assignment very structured? Is the job very dynamic? Is there always a new assignment to work on? Is it so difficult that you need to do research outside of work (internet, seeking another professional, books, etc.) or do the job training & academic education suffice? What do they mainly ask at an interview? Does NASA offer apprenticeships?
How much do aerospace engineers make when they first start?
I'm in 8th grade and preparing for my future for when I get into college, my dream job is to be an Aerospace Engineer because I love science.

What will it take to get a degree in aerospace engineering?
When growing up I was always interested in movies like Star Wars and Star Trek,and how they would push different boundaries in space. One day I would like to push those boundaries too and make it to the stars. #aerospaceengineering
Which is the best school to choose for a career as an aerospace engineer?
I am very interested in a career as an aerospace engineer. I have visited 3 schools in the mid Atlantic area that have a good reputation in engineering. When I ask each one which makes your school standout over the other ones I got pretty vague answers. I have been told to ask questions to these schools like what is your retention rate for students interested in a career as an aerospace engineer once a student graduates? Only one answered that question in length. It is hard to try and see the future and select which path to take to get to your goal. Besides having to be exceptional in math and physics what else can I do to raise my chances of making it in the aerospace engineering field? Is it better to work for NASA or a private company like Space X or Boeing? I love physics and math and most of all anything to do with space. I just want to make sure I am making the right choices in my education. #aerosapceengineeringcareer #aerospaceengineering #aerospaceengineeringeducation
How did you decide which sector of aerospace engineering you wanted to pursue (aero or astro)?

How to enter/help develop Space Industry?
Hi, Thanks for clicking on the question link. I am not sure what to do and would like to hear some anonymous advice. Who am I? Someone who has dreamed about whats in outer space, but currently, I am a College student who will be graduating this semester with a B.S. Degree in Economics and a minor in Psychology (~3.23 cumulative g.p.a.). Though, I could have graduated last semester I decided to stay an extra semester and pursue an interest I have in a Engineering/Science degree. I did this by studying Mechanical Engineering because it appears very versatile, though I was close to choosing astrophysics (Seems like for astrophysics, it would take at least 20 years to get where you would want to be). The purpose of this would be to eventually allow me to work somewhere in the space industry. I would greatly enjoy assisting government or third party space companies/programs develop (i.e. NASA, Space X, Deep Space Industries, or Planetary Resources). The Dilemma, it would take another 6 semesters (3 years) of hard work and money to finish this second B.S. degree and I am not so sure it would get me any closer to my dream job. I have been contemplating earning a PhD in economics and try to help that way (I do have some research ideas and would not mind teaching), but it would take at least another 7 years of school and I am not even sure I could get in or could afford it because my g.p.a. of ~3.23 is low for even getting accepted to grad school. I think I have summed up my problem well, but if there is anything relevant that could help you, help me feel free to ask. Thank you again for your help!
