Can a physics major become an aerospace engineer?

Aerospace engineering is usually its own degree; some schools combine aerospace and mechanical engineering in one department or offer a mechanical engineering degree with an aerospace focus. Most big state schools that offer aerospace engineering would also offer a degree in astrophysics and/or physics.

How does physics relate to aerospace engineering?

Physics, which deals broadly with matter, energy, motion, and force. Aerospace depends on the ability to calculate the movement of the aircraft, and in the case of astronautics, the effects of other bodies such as planets, moons, and the sun (this specifically is known as celestial mechanics).

What type of physics do aerospace engineers use?

Aerodynamics, a branch of physics, is the study of the motion of air and how it interacts with more solid bodies (such as a helicopter). It’s necessary to know how air or spacecraft will interact with air and other gases to ensure it moves as quickly, safely, and efficiently as possible.

Can I do ms after MSc physics?

Yes, you are qualified for a Masters degree abroad. Though some universities may have issues with repeating a Masters in Physics, a Masters in Aerospace Engineering will not be an issue. You have to score well in GRE and IELTS/TOEFL as well as have a good CGPA if you want to do the program from top universities.

What is aerospace in physics?

Aerospace Physics is designed for students who like hands-on problem solving, collaborative teamwork and creatively finding solutions. The course uses problem based learning to enhance study of flight theory, airplane design and airplane construction/manufacturing.

Is aerospace interdisciplinary?

I’d say aerospace is the pinnacle of interdisciplinary engineering. It combines such a broad range of engineering topics, from the electrics that control a plane to the way a rocket engine produces thrust to get into orbit.

Do I need a physics degree to become an engineer?

You don’t need an advanced degree or a degree in engineering. Companies will hire you as an engineer with a physics degree, even though it’s not an ABET accredited degree, because you’re a woman. A girl I know graduated with a physics degree from my school and was hired by Raytheon as an engineer.

How long does it take to get a master’s degree in physics?

Many of our physics majors go on to do a master’s in engineering. IIRC they usually take two years to finish it, maybe 2.5. Jun 16, 2017 #5

How long does it take to become a Master’s in engineering?

Many of our physics majors go on to do a master’s in engineering. IIRC they usually take two years to finish it, maybe 2.5. Actually I took this route: bachelor’s degree in physics and master’s degree in electrical and electronics engineering.

Do I need an advanced degree in engineering to become an engineer?

Anyway, you’re a female. You don’t need an advanced degree or a degree in engineering. Companies will hire you as an engineer with a physics degree, even though it’s not an ABET accredited degree, because you’re a woman.
