What does Veeky Forums have to say about aerospace engineering?

You don't produce physics laws, you produce real practical machines that do stuff.
engineers >>>> all STEM branches > arts > gender studies > mathematicians

So would you say that EE focus more heavily on math and physics than Aerospace?

You are retarded. OP will be applying math and physics to practical applications that make money.

You will be stuck on this board larping about being the next Ramanujan

Because he wants to actually pay off his student loans.

>Are there aveilable jobs beside the miltary ones?
No. Try again around 2030

Take your homework seriously, know girls want you to make a move, do your homework, have sex so make that move, pay attention in class. You will be fine and can make big bucks later on. Enjoy life user!

>dedicating your life to sudoku puzzles

>Machine will break down
That's right, you need engineers and technicians to keep the AC and power running so you can stay in the lab/classroom and be a mathematician or physicist. Everyone has their part to play nothing wrong with that.

a bunch of governments and businesses are going into space right now
one of those businesses, and a few governments have outright declared a moonbase will be built by 2025
once they get a moonbase up, it's very likely they'll expand their efforts, first on the moon for mining, then outward to the asteroids and planets using that gathered material

if there's any a time to go into space fields, it is now

So i didn't do this right away because I was drunk last night and sleepy.

I should clarify that this is just the schooling you get to get the degree. lots of these skills are transferable, so a mechanical engineer major could be employed as a chemical engineer or vice-versa.

Mechanical Eng
>Design Shit with moving parts
>Thermodynamics
>>>how efficient can your power plant actually be?
>Heat transfer
>>>not as simple as it sounds, cowboy.
>Newtonian Mechanics of solids and fluids
>>>By extension Aero and hydrodynamics
>Fatigue and failure of machine parts
>Material Science
>>>turns out a lot of thought goes into alloying metals
>Control systems (basically a system that controls itself)
>>>we took this over from electricals
>Extensive laboratory work

>see mechanical but you get to call yourself a rocket scientist or something

Civil
>see mechanical BUT...
>no moving parts
>replace material science with concrete science
>add class about soil

and they wonder why we make fun of them

So you think those things shouldn't exist?

I realy want to work at spacex but i am not a us national so i can't. But designing satellites and rocket sound realy interesting.

There are other jobs in space though. See if your country has a space program in need of your help. Also, I think you need to be a US citizen to build rockets in the US, but not to build non-military satellites. Something you might want to look into.

Aerospace Engineer here, I worked as a design engineer in European defence and now in the New World as an Industrial Engineer on a FAL. I'll pin the thread and get back to it tomorrow if you want to ask me anything.

1. Do industrial or mechanical engineering instead. You don't use specifically anything you learn in an Aeronautical Engineering and you'll have a better return on investment on a Mechanical Engineering or Industrial/Manufacturing Engineering degree.

2. You don't always need a masters, but it helps to get a job. If you plan on going into aerospace, don't bother with a PhD. It's simply not desired.

3. Your co-op/internship will be the one that lands you the first job. You need that first job for experience. Exceed at that internship.

4. Learn VBA and excel, and learn them well.

5. This industry is fucked. If you want something "cutting tech", look in automotive.

6. Military sounds exciting, but often it's more dull than civilian. You have export locks and information limitation with military programs. You don't build the a/c, you build the component. The people that design or install the APU don't have a notion what the people who design or install the wings do. Only chief engineers will know the entire system, and even then these people are a rarity. Civilian is generally more open and you learn more.

Whereas math and physics is only for neurotypicals of course

What do you mean by automotive?

Also, i am more interested in the space part Like designing rockets and satellites.
Are there any job like these in the civilian sector?

>Maxwell's equations
that's more of a physics thing, I'm in my fourth year and barely saw that

Automotive uses robots, machines, etc.
Aerospace uses idiots with rivet guns and 9/10 databases are excel files on a shared drive.

That's nearly all civilian.

When you "design a rocket", you will only touch one part of the design. I will use aircraft manufacturing as an example since I know it well. When you are a design engineer, it is highly probable that you will only look at one component or system - APU, hydraulics, ECS, RAT, etc. You will not design the aircraft so much as a specific part of it. The overall design will be the Chief Engineer or other engineers with 30+ years behind them. This can be quite deflating to people who expect to leave university and map trajectories one day and calculate fuel consumption the next day.
