Hi l'm not sure which proiect to choose for my internship. just want to choose the one with the most industry demand and the one to make my resume look a lot better for when I apply to another internship next year and eventually an actual job. Any advice is appreciated. These are the options Al-Controlled 3D Printed Prosthetic Hand Data-Driven Digital Twin & Defect Detection for LPBF FEA-Based Al Modelling for Faster Design and Optimisation

I am a senior and ready to decide where to go. I visited both colleges and both of them seemed great, preference to ERAU because of the nice weather. If I do AROTC which I really want to do, 4 years would be 59k with family assistance and ISU would around 5k for loans.

Problem is ERAU graduation is around 34% which is really low and if I don’t graduate it 4 years then I would have a lot more debt, like around 145k and Iowa around 60k.

ERAU has an amazing AFROTC program with up to 90% of people applying for pilot slots get them. That was one of the main things that stood out at ERAU.

After learning this I’m leaning more towards ISU because of the major price different but how hard would it be to graduate in 4 years with AFROTC at ERAU? Any information about either of the schools would be great. Thank you

Edit: Aerospace engineering

I was quite fascinated with sky since I was young and always wanted to travel by aeroplane but never got the chance and then I decided to study aeronautical engineering but a lot of people are telling me that there aren't many jobs in this area and I will not be able to earn a decent living or maybe not even get a job.Is this true? Can someone who studied aeronautical engineering share their experience.I have currently passed 12th class cbse board with 91.6% approx PCM and english and it

My son has been accepted into aerospace engineering programs at UC Davis, University of Colorado, Boulder, SDSU and UC Irvine. He is heavily leaning towards Boulder (ranking and we just visited). Any idea which program or school is best?

I recently got accepted into both UT Austin and CU Boulder for MS in Aerospace Engineering. I‘m an international student, so I do not know much about schools and the program which makes me hard to made a decision.

My interest is especially astrodynamics, spacecraft dynamics, spacecraft GNC, and formation flight. I’m also thinking of getting a Phd.

I know CU Boulder is super strong in space engineering and has a very specialized program. Also I heard that they receive a lot of funding from NASA and is surrounded by aerospace companies. However, the overall rank is lower compared to UT Austin.

On the other hand, UT Austin aero is also a good program and the school has an amazing reputation and broader name recognition, which is hard to ignore. But seems like they are not specialized in space engineering like CU boulder.

Both programs are similarly ranked overall. CU ranked 8th and UT ranked 9th in aerospace engineering.

I really need advice and insights from you guys.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a masters in aeronautics preferably online as I'm from Mexico and we are not well received in various countries at the moment. I've been looking at ERAU and Georgia Tech but I don't know if their online programs are ok or maybe there is another one that adapts better to my background ( mechatronics engineer and minored in aeronautical engineering).

Ps. Sorry the bad english, it's not my first language.

I have completed my Bachelor's in Aerospace Engineering from a Southeast Asian country. I was planning to pursue higher studies in Aerospace in the USA, but the recent political situation involving Trump has made me skeptical. As a result, I’m now exploring alternative options.

Wherever I go, I want to complete my Master's degree and build a proper career path in that country. I believe I have the grades and profile to secure admission along with a scholarship. Scholarships are very important to me, as it would be impossible for me to fund the tuition on my own.

Hey y'all, just wanted to run something by you.

I'm designing a STOL AG aircraft capable of taking off in <1000ft at a gross weight of ~15000lbs, and as such, our flap system is similar to that of a Boeing 737 (tripple flaps). My concern is this; my drag is higher for takeoff than it is for landing, which is counter intuitive. I think this is because my flap chord deflection is the same for takeoff and landing to obtain the required maximum lift coefficient to meet performance requirements.

I think this is due to the fact that my effective lift coefficient during takeoff is higher than that of the landing lift coefficient, even though the maximum lift coefficient during landing is higher. Since the effective lift coefficients are computed using speeds during landing and TO set by CFR-137, being V_TO =1.1 Vs and V_LA = 1.3 Vs (Vs = stall speed), the induced drag during takeoff is much higher, and as a result, gives higher takeoff drag.

Have I messed something up here? Please feel free to leave your advice :)

As the title states, I am wondering what the percentage or fixed amount of contributions towards health insurance from Lockheed Martin is. Tia

A lot of pilots often show interest towards aerospace engineering, and I’m guessing it works the other way around too. Looking back, how would you compare your AE career with being an airline pilot? Would you have been happier? Worse off? Or do you have a different opinion?

I’d love to hear your thoughts about this topic. Thanks in advance!

I’m 24 and wanting to go to school for it. Is it worth it? Is the pay good? Does it open up a lot of doors? What’s your personal experience with it?

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about the on-site technical interview/experience at The Aerospace Corporation?

Any input would be much appreciated!

Recently had a panel interview and none of the interviewers had their camera on. Is this a new thing? Should I expect it moving forward? It definitely threw me off as it leaves me unable to read the room and get a good sense of the vibes.

Can anyone speak to it as a job / career in aerospace? Aerospace bachelors getting a masters in applied mathematics. I interned at a large R&D lab and they offered me to return. My work consisted of doing some relatively high level systems probabilistic risk assessment for spacecraft, but also very focused physics of failure modeling and statistical estimation of space radiation effects, lots of writing R scripts for Bayesian analysis / uncertainty quantification. It didn’t really feel much like engineering? Or as I imagined engineering would be

From those who work in it or have, is it a good field?

wondering if there lots of room for basically an applied statistician in other aspects of engineering / space flight?

Hi all,

(Long post ahead)

I am an Indian (28,M) with a bachelors degree in Electrical & Electronics Engg. I currently work in quality testing in the construction industry and deal mostly with instrumentation and machines. I always had a desire to work in aerospace/aviation and wish to switch to aerospace in a field related to my academic background such as in GNC or telecommunications. I am thinking of doing masters studies in EE or aerospace to get some exposure and knowledge about the industry.

I don't really want to study in India, partly because I want to travel some, and mainly to explore the aero industry abroad. But I would want to work in India after getting a degree and some years of experience.

I read that Europe, especially France (Toulouse), Germany and NL, are great places for aero.

I also have studied beginner level French (A2, I guess) and am totally ready whatever language is necessary in the respective country.

So, is it a good idea to study in Europe: to connect with aero industry professionals, specialise in a EE/communications related field for aerospace itself, and get some years of experience afterward?

My concern is whether companies will be open to non-citizens/ non-permanent residents.

Thank you in advance for your help and advice.

Hey folks,

I recently received offers from both University of Michigan and Georgia Institute of Technology for a Masters in Aerospace Engineering. While I know that both of these institutions are excellent, especially in my area of interest of aircraft design, and consider myself lucky to have received offers from them, I am very undecided about which one to go. As an international applicant, I am not familiar with either of the institutions besides their research outputs (papers and delivered projects). Does anyone have any insights into how these programs are, especially regarding their reputation in the US for employers and colleges alike, university environment, and institutional policies for their grad students?

For better context, I intend to continue on for a PhD and, if possible, academia. I also want to work on civilian projects like sustainable propulsion technologies and aircraft who utilize them.

Thank you so much in advance <3

I will be starting my Master’s in Aerospace Engineering this fall (2025) and I have a choice between the University of Arizona and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. What should I choose keeping the program, research, job and the overall cost in mind?

Just wondering ;)

Hey ya'll! I'm a high school senior who just has gotten into GeorgiaTech and UT Austin, but I'm having a bit of a hard time choosing between them for aerospace engineering. I should also mention that I aspire to complete a Master's degree in AE as well.

When it comes to the financial side, I received a full ride from UT through engineering honors and a 15k/ year scholarship from GT. This would yield me a total cost of 39k/ year (out of state) However, my parents and family have said not to worry too much about paying back the money, and one of our family friends stated that paying back the loans for GT would not be very difficult.

Because of this, I've been wondering if there is a definitive difference in the quality of education between the schools. Specifically, would one would open more opportunities for me to do research and internships?

Thank you!

Hey everyone, I’m super thankful and excited to have made it through to the final round panel interviews for both Blue Origin and Firefly Aerospace. However, I am having a very hard time on deciding which is the better path to go down. Blue Origin is a Structural Design Engineer position, while Firefly is a Manufacturing Engineer position. Both level three positions. I’ve loved the people I’ve interviewed with for both. I am currently in Colorado so will have to be either Austin, TX for Firefly, or Space Coast, FL for Blue. Would love to hear people’s thoughts on the decision. Thanks in advance for the input.

I'm looking to go into sustainable aviation. I've been accepted into six universities:

1. Case Western Reserve
2. Rensselaer Polytechnic
3. ERAU
4. Illinois Tech
5. Urbana-Champaign
6. Purdue

I would greatly appreciate some advice. Which is considered most prestigious and would help me get into a good masters program? Which would help me get into sustainable aviation specifically? I'd also like to add that I've received the greatest amount of financial aid from CWRU.
