If you have the desire to soar high in the sky, then this is a science which combines the creativity of art and the innovation of engineering. Aerospace engineering is a popular discipline which is all about the design, speed, construction and science of airplanes and spacecrafts. It has sub branches called:
- Aeronautical engineering, which deals with airplanes and
- Astronautical engineering, which as the name implies, deals
with spacecrafts.
- Some University engineering schools offer advanced
diploma, masters and Ph.D studies in this discipline in
specialized departments like aerospace engineering
departments, while others offer it at mechanical engineering
departments.
- The three best engineering degree programs in the US in
this specialized branch of engineering are at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Georgia Institute of
Technology, and the University of Michigan.
- Stanford University, Purdue University, University of
Illinois, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, United
States Air Force Academy, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical
University in Prescott, AZ are other top-ranked programs.
- The career options after doing Aerospace engineering includes Research, design & development, management, field service, marketing & sales, software development, and teaching.
- Some University engineering schools offer advanced
diploma, masters and Ph.D studies in this discipline in
specialized departments like aerospace engineering
departments, while others offer it at mechanical engineering
departments.
