The tip to go to a state college or community college first is gold - it makes a lot of sense to knock out the math/science prerequisites there!
Glad you agree. I saved so much money going to community college and it was a fantastic stepping stone for me!
No I think most are public actually.
If I don’t get into caltech I’m doing that
Same thing I’m doing. I’m going for free, vs at a 4 year I’d have to pay for all 4 years instead of just paying 2
Smart man
Even before deciding to major in Aerospace Engineering, community college was the first thing I tackled. I'm so elated to hear this being a major step.
That document looks super helpful! Thanks for the great advice. I've gone the Mechanical Engineering route like you mentioned and joined all the good project clubs I could. Unfortunately, a lot of the career fairs you mentioned are canceled or only online this past year, but hopefully they'll open back up soon. Thanks for the advice on study groups. I have a few, but schedules are a pain to work out. I'll definitely try to find more. Thanks!
You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful. And it's only $5 if you want it. Honestly having a mechanical engineering degree is more marketable. You have more job opportunities than aerospace engineers out of the gate! Best of luck. Let me know if you need any advice you can DM me on one of my socials or join the Discord!
Great video as always! Not many people are open about some of these topics because it is uncomfortable to discuss. Thank you for sharing your opinions and insight.
You're welcome! I like to try and be as open an honest about my career as possible to try and best help prospective engineers.
Thanks for spreading this knowledge. Helping a lot of ppl, including myself. Appreciate u
Glad I could help!
Hey this is a great video! I actually graduated with my bachelors the same year you did, and masters a year later, both in aerospace engineering, and I have been an aerospace engineer for about a year now. I completely agree with all the tips you gave. Not everyone is going to be able to follow all of them, but those tips will certainly equip you with everything you need to eventually land that dream engineering job.
Thank you! I'm glad you agree with my approach!
@@AviationAustin Seriously, I hope every aero/mech or even any other engineering student gets a chance to see this video! Thanks for putting it together! It's everything I wish I'd known going into college, and I think you definitely nailed it.
I am in my first semster of aerospace engineering... And As a freshie, i am not familiarized with the traditions of this field.. can you guide me about it? like with what qualities and skills I should equip myself?
Love this video, thanks for sharing your experience. Starting my AE degree this fall at 28yo with the best mindset I've ever had. Can't wait!
Thank you! Best of luck!
Am i too old to do a masters in aerospace Engineering? Am 29 now and planning of doing it in this sept intake.. In uk.. Am afraid of workload and also dont have confidence.. But am passionate about it. And faacinated by the astronomy and space... ☹️
You're definitely not too old. I'm sure you'll find masters students aren't like traditional students. They're often older and wiser
Great video!! I love all of these suggestions/wisdom!
Thanks for the support!
Thanks a lot for your nice advices 💯🖐🏻
I’m ahead of the game watching this going into high school :D
Indeed you are! I wish I was that prepared. Haha
I went to Community college for one year, got a 4.0 GPA, now I'm attending USC. I did literally all my math and physics there and got all A's, calc I thru linear alg and diff eq.
Great video! Two thumbs up.
Thanks very much for these important tricks to enable us embrace aerospace engineering. I had a dream of embracing this court by shifting from Mechanical but I have been worried whether it's possible
But this video has become one of those data sources which proved that it's possible. Long live Aerospace Engineer in the video.
I'm actually pursuing B's in Mechanical Engineering year 4
Hopping to enroll for aerospace engineering on Masters program.
Thanks you I'm going into high school and thanks to you I have a somewhat plan for my future thank you
Best of luck!
Absolutely fantastic video. My son is 14 and sent me this video to watch. He knows with every fiber of his being that this is his career path. When the pandemic hit and we were all quarantined to our homes, instead of him playing video games, he found space videos, Elon Musk videos, aerospace anything and everything to do with learning physics… as a mother I am just blown away by his knowledge and listening to him talk with such passion.
Thank you for putting this video together. It was extremely informative and I will certainly be referencing back to it in the future and possibly contacting you when the time comes when Nathan is ready to take his courses.
That's great to hear! I'm glad you found it informative! And please do reach out as he approaches the college planning phase! I'd be happy to help in any way I can!
You’re such a great mom for giving him this opportunity 💙so blessed
thanks! this was really helpful.
You're welcome!
Very informative video! Thank you
You're welcome
starting my Engineering degree at Embry Riddle next month. Thanks for the info!
Best of luck!
Very informative video! I’m a high school senior looking to major in aerospace engineering and I believe the community college tip is very solid. I participated in this dual enrollment program where I can attend high school and college at the same time and it’s completely free. I’ve just applied to some universities and if I get accepted I’ll go to the 4 year university first but if I get rejected I can just finish up the prerequisite classes at my community college. Although the difficulty is about to ramp up in the next few years, I believe watching these videos will help me keep hope and push through :)
Thank you, this was very informative and useful. I subscribed ✅
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video
You're welcome. Hope it was helpful
Hi Austin, really love this video. I graduated from Purdue with an Aero/Astro Engineering degree and couldn't find a job. Currently I'm earning my Master's in Mathematics from Villanova, so hopefully that will help. Still figuring out which jobs in the field that combo caters to best but I'd like a job involving thermo... Definitely will start attending conferences!
Best of luck! And when you get close to graduation don't stop applying for jobs! It's definitely a numbers game in the beginning. But once you land that first job it's so much easier!
Oh nice I'm tryna go to purdue to do aerospace engineering
Hey I'm in middle school and I'm trying to learn all I can lol! Thanks for this awesome info!
You're welcome! Best of luck!
As an aero eng under grad rn Im glad I found this because as much as I am passionate about it I'm worried about landing a job as I'm introverted and don't know how to network so this should help. Great vid!
That's great that you're already thinking about it! Too many people ignore it way too long and find themselves with an incredible degree but no job.
@@AviationAustin yea that's what I'm worried about. looking for a job/ researching possible positions you'd wanna work at is equally important as the degree itself
Well like I mentioned in my video if you wanna check out my job search resource tool on Patreon, I think it will help you out. It's downloadable and editable so you also don't have to worry about loosing access.
@@AviationAustin yup I'll be using that forsure!
u are right!!!
Yo bro oh my gosh thank you God for this bro, this is like a personal counselor meeting and best part I can rewind, and listen deeper to it and think on it! Thank you bro! Inspiring to be an Aerospace Engineer thanks bro!
You're welcome. I just thought what of what I would have wanted to hear before this journey and said that! Best of luck!
@@AviationAustin God Bless you bro that was spot on! You answered questions I didn't have to ask!😆
I'm happy you found it useful. Now you know where to go if you have any future questions as well!
This is all very good advice. Everyone should watch this.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Totally agree with CC. That’s what I did first.
Ive been wanting to do this since I was 8 years old.
it’s just cool and interesting learning and developing planes and rockets possible even weapons.
Really Wished this video was out when I was trying to choose what to do for engineering started out at a 4 year university nearly died from stress and overwork, had to take a medical withdraw then decided to head to community college and got most stuff for my associates only need two more classes and can transfer them back, about to head to a new 4 year university and looking forward to it
Sorry I didn't reach you sooner. Best of luck! Remember my number 1 advice for your stage is find a study group ASAP. It will save your life (degree) so frequently.
Im a sophomore in highschool so I’m prepping for university lmao. I also would like to appreciate all of the memes(espically the Star Wars memes hahaha) I love science but I also love drawing and applying my creativity in a real world situation(like stacking my books in a specific way so they don’t fall over lmao). Thank you for the video it was really helpful!
Glad I can help! Best of luck.
bro why are you and i exactly alike
i get that this is a year old post but as of now im a sophmore who wants to be an aerospace engineer who draws in their freetime
@Luna Starmask bro same!! this is actually crazy.
@@sachiko_rileyis your career interest still the same?
i was so bummed that i couldn’t go straight from hs to an aerospace major(grades didn’t reflect), so i’m doing an associate degree/bachelor course. thought that would be shit but this has eased my nerves
Good vídeo thankyou! I think It would be very instructiv video about what does an aerospace engineer do.
Thank you! I'll add that to my list
This is awesome ! I am a highschool senior going into aerospace so this is Uber useful for me thanks
You're welcome! Glad I could help
I am going to reyerson canada this fall
thanks
You're definitely underrated
Thank you sir!
Do you have a aerospace engineering internship search tool?? i think that would be very helpful for many
Well it is geared for entry-level engineering positions. However, it sources to the same job boards and the same locations that you typically find internships.
Awesome! The video was informative, especially I’m a high school senior and I will be a student in this department at UCF as well. I want ask a question regarding applying for internships or jobs, is it easy for international students to apply for these internships or even jobs?
Go knights! Unfortunately it is incredibly difficult for international students to find jobs in aerospace as the vast majority of jobs in aerospace require US citizenship. I believe your best bet is to look at commercial aviation for jobs
This so helpful God bless you man!.Which community college did you go, and what major!?
I just got an AA from school in Jacksonville, FL. But honestly an associates degree doesn't matter at all in most cases. As long as you finish the right pre-requisite classes
That was a really helpful video Austin! Could you pls list some of the community colleges offering aerospace engineering in the USA? Maybe the college you went to?
I went to the Florida State College at Jacksonville. There are literally thousands of small community colleges across the country. Any accredited one will do.
@@AviationAustin but none of the colleges provide aerospace engineering, right? First of all, is an aerospace engineer as in a course, or should you study something else to become one? Do you study aerospace engineering to become an aerospace engineer, or do you have different courses to become one?
Well my high school isn’t great but I do I have some pretty crazy test scores in certain areas
That's great! Won't matter too much about your high school after you get into college.
Great video man, I suppose everyone you work with in your job has a degree or do some dont? because i was thinking of doing courses and not going to collegue so that I would have experience
thats why im asking
You definitely need a degree to do what I do to work a role as an aerospace engineer. Even people who have been in aerospace assembly lines and manufacturing facilities for decades cannot get a job in engineering unless they get an accredited 4 year degree in college. And some of those guys know way more than I will ever know about manufacturing
You mentioned aiaa, so I was wondering if I can directly sign up on their website as a university student as I'm not sure if I have to be part of an organization to join.
Yes you can sign up directly online as a student. If your school has a chapter they may also have small dues to join.
i wanna hopefully major in mechanical engineering, cause it gives a lot of choices for jobs, including aerospace engineering
Absolutely! That's a safer course of action for sure. You can still do Aerospace if you enjoy the industry just make sure you take Aerospace electives and do Aerospace clubs!
@@AviationAustin :)
Its my first year in uni after 5 years I would properly be an aerospace engineer see you after 5 years
See you then! If you want job search tools for when you get there, make sure you grab those resources from my Patreon!
@@AviationAustin sure Thank you
Great video thanks for the tip, how do I get the document though from Patreon
If you sign up on Patreon you can download it there. Or you have an issue downloading it there I can send it to you once you sign up
@@AviationAustin It’s my location Patreon does not work in my country, can you kindly send it through mail?
I would really appreciate that
To be honest it's US based document, it's only listing US based companies locations in the US. Most of those jobs are for US citizens. You'd have a hard time landing one of those jobs. But if you DM me on Instagram I can converse more about it
What were your study methods when studying?
i liked to study in groups and work through problems
God is going to provide.❤🙌🙌
Hello. I'm a highschool student looking into going into aerospace engineering I have taken a lot of math and physics courses so that pre-req is already out of the way but I wanted to ask if there is any extra tips you could recommend to prepare for the pursuit of an aerospace engineering degree in college. Also what is the workload like in college if you also have to work to support yourself?
Get familiar with calculus courses. And if you're planning on working while in school just know you will not have any other time to do anything outside of school and work. Aerospace engineering is incredibly demanding. I recommend if you can afford to do so try to avoid working full time while in school. Of course i always recommend as a rule of thumb never take on more debt than you will make in the first year after graduation which I would say is around $72k.
Im looking towards Wichita State University since I live in Oklahoma is that a good AE program, I’m currently a senior and excepted but worried about the work load and internships
Hello ! I have a question for you or anyone on here that could help me out on. I’m a senior graduating this fall. I’ll have a bachelor in physics but I’m going into the mechanical engineering school to get my masters! What topics or maybe even taking a extra class should I take to ease myself into the engineering aspect ? Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer me advice :)
studied Civil engineering for bachelor's and I wanna study MS aerospace engineering with a focus on the design of structures, don't know how I'm gonna fare , but I'm ready for the challenge
Best of luck!
@@AviationAustin thank you and if you have any tips would gladly appreciate that
Do you think getting a mechanical engineering degree and focusing on aerospace clubs or even focusing on a minor is AE is a good idea?
Honestly I don't think minors will do much of anything for you. If you do ME and Aerospace clubs that will be the basic equivalent of an AE degree in my opinion. Unless you want to do aerodynamics or propulsions systems. Then you may want to make sure you take some of those as electives.
I am in my final year in my bachelors of aerospace engineering also out of UCF!! But I haven’t been able to do an internship yet especially this past year with COVID, is there any tips that you recommend doing to find an internship or is even trying to do an internship in my final year worth it? Thanks for you’re time and Go Knights!!!
Charge on! Yeah i never found an Aerospace internship myself. I'd keep looking, but I would also say branch out and look for any engineering internship, mechanical, systems, industrial, anything will help. Most internships don't like to hire seniors though. So most importantly make sure you are doing AIAA or some sort of club actively. If you can't find an internship I'd highly recommend a leadership position in AIAA. If you're graduating in spring when fall hits start applying for jobs. If you're graduating in Fall start right now. On boarding is a very tedious process in the defense industry and they hire very early. Good luck! And if you need more resources check out my Patreon for my downloadable guide to finding jobs.
Aviation Austin will do, graduating on spring so I’m definitely going to start applying for jobs at fall. Again thanks for you’re time.
If I go from highschool straight into university for my Aerospace engineering studies, will I still need to go into an ABET accredited school?
I'm a sophomore in highschool right now, are there any classes you'd recommend? I'll probably take AP Physics, possibly Calc AB as well.
Those are the ones I'd recommend. Those will give you the best idea of what to expect in college
what should I do if I'm graduating high school with my associates degree?
Oh that's awesome! Well I'd say it depends on which classes you've taken. I'd say it's still valuable to finish your engineering prerequisites. So if you haven't taken up to Calc 3 and phys 2 and some other classes it would still be cheaper to take them at a community college.
I have to ask so you graduated with no prior internship or co op experience? That’s good to hear because I go to these career seminars and they mention having had 3-4 completed internships and I feel intimidated.
That is correct. No aerospace internship and no co-ops. But i was active in AIAA
This year is my last year in high school, I’m planning to go to community college, what should I take
Look up the pre-reqs for the engineering schools you want to go to. Take those at community school. Usually calc I, II, III, differential equations, calc based Physics I and II, Chemistry, and might as well take any other general education classes required for your degree.
Which school is better for engineering between UF and UCF, and why?
If you can get into UF I'd say that's better. But of course I went to UCF, so of course I believe it to be a good engineering school. Just not as reputable as UF.
Hey Austin.. loved your video and thanx fr the clarity.. however, I have another doubt.
Suppose I choose mechanical engineering for my bachelors. Will I be able to take aerospace as my masters degree ? And let's say that even if I can.. would you suggest it ?
Yes that is definitely an option. You will have taken many of the pre reqs for aerospace in your undergrad mechanical engineering classes
Alright..thank you so much 👍😄
What else do you want to know about a major in Aerospace Engineering?
All the avenues you have when you get an engineering degree/major
not sure what you mean by avenues...?
@@AviationAustin like new doorways that open
Ah I see. Well there's tons of jobs that open up, namely aerodynamics, mechanical, manufacturing, thermodynamics, and systems engineering positions. Companies like Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing and SpaceX hire Aerospace engineers. You can work on building/ designing airplanes or spacecraft for any company that does that. Beyond that it's a great entry to pursue a masters in Aerospace.
Does that answer your question?
@@AviationAustin Oh I was just clarify what he meant by avenues lol sry. Although one day I do hope to work for NASA or SpaceX
This video is extremely helpful. what advice can you offer me a passionate aerospace engineer so that i dont mess up.
i also declare that i will be following all ur vids so that i get full guidance. thanks
Depends on what stage you are in your career.
@@AviationAustin what do you mean
@@suwilanjisinyangwe2347 I mean your question is too vague to provide meaningful advice. What advice are you looking for?
@@AviationAustin what syllabus should i pursue to become one and study the right things
is it the gate AE syllabus or what?
im currently in highschool and im really good at math and physics but im really bad at chem so it necesssary to have any knowledge on chem to pursue on an aeronautical engineering degree.
You will have to push through chemistry at least 1 course of chem in college depending on the program. Some require 2 course. I also am not great at chemistry but I believe you can do it!
@@AviationAustin thank you very much man even though Chem is literal Greek for me I’ll try my best to push through that. U earned a sub
Im in the military and struggling to find an online school to go to I am looking at university of north dakota what are your thoughts
I want to pursue aerospace engineering, but also want to have kids within the next few years, I'm not sure if I'll be able to manage both
Are you already in school? I might recommend taking the classes a little slower. There's no rule that says you have to finish in 4 years.
I skipped a few math courses and I have already taken all the courses you said I should take in college and earned credit for them, is it still advised to go to community college or state college?
I'd look up the pre-reqs for the state college you want to attend. Then do those at a community college. Once you have those done you can transfer to a state college. That's what I'd recommend to save tens of thousands of dollars.
I want to know where can i find good study groups for aerospace eng online....?
I have a question, should i go to community college if i am doing the things you mentioned. I’m taking calc 2, took ap physics and chem.
There's still lots of prerequisite classes that you will need. So I'd still recommend it.
If I may ask, what are your thoughts on studying Mechatronics engineering for my bachelors and then aerospace for my masters and applying for jobs in aerospace engineering with that knowledge?
I usually recommend getting some industry experience before seeking a master's. But mechanical engineering is more closely aligned with aerospace engineering if you want to get an aerospace job with just a bachelor's. The master's would definitely solidify your career path in aerospace though.
@@AviationAustin thank you!
Wut if u take all those classes in hs via AP or dual enrollment? Is it still good to go to a state/community college first?
If you can do dual enrollment at a community college that would be great. But I don't think you'll be able to get through all the pre reqs in high school. So I think there's still a huge cost benefit of doing them at a community college. But dual enrollment will definitely expedite the process of getting through those gen eds/ pre reqs.
I'm undergraduate mechanical engineer student can I become areospace engineer If I do Msc in areospace engineering
How about if I'm already into Electrical/
Electronic Engineering and still have an interest in doing aerospace or aeronautic in master's degree and later as my career.
Thank you for sharing this
You're welcome. Lots of demand for electrical engineers in aerospace too.
@@AviationAustin Thank you for your swift reply 🙏 I believe I'm on the right track.
Austin is it hard to transfer from a community college? I’m gonna start in a CC, my associative degree in engineering and it has all the subjects you told us to attend in a CC (calculus, physics, chemistry, differential equations) but if I wanna transfer to an aerospace engineering bachelor degree program will it be hard?
Not at all. It's easier than applying directly from high school. It's less competitive and many state schools have guaranteed acceptance if you complete an associates. And yes it will be very hard. But those beginning classes will give you a taste for the difficulty. So you should know before you get to your bigger university if you can handle it.
@@AviationAustin thank you Austin, this helps me a lot to continue in this dream...
Good luck and Godspeed!
How would you recommend organizing study groups effectively? I’ve tried before but it feels like everyone is talking at random points & someone might lose their focus on a certain problem because of that. Or do u think it should be done so everyone is completely quiet and focused on their separate work and if someone needs help they can ask the group. Sorry if it sounds too childish or badly explained but I’m just not sure how to study properly in a group without losing the focus you would have individually. But I believe it could be a lot more effective. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Well it depends on the group tbh. I know some groups are more strict and focused. But my groups were always relaxed. We would joke around and talk about random stuff occasionally, but we got a lot done and it was always helpful. You just gotta get a feel for the type of people you're with. If they're too rambunctious for you, just find a different group. I don't think you're going to be able to control how a bunch of college kids are behaving.
@@AviationAustin Thanks for such a swift reply. I’m so glad there’s someone who helps passionate students Aerospace because there isn’t that many youtubers. Would you be annoyed if I asked how exactly you’re group study sessions usually go? Like does everyone do their own specific work or are you all working on one big question/project etc. thanks again
Depends on the day. If it was just a normal day i might be studying with people who are doing other things. But if there was a big exam or a final coming up we would often specifically set up a study session for that exam. Especially since campus starts getting really busy around finals. We'd have to set up a place to study beforehand during finals. Reserve a room or find some empty classroom.
Make friends with the smart hardworking folks and really try to contribute so you learn and gain confidence. I did not do that and studied with other goofballs. We had fun but had to do countless all nighters. But then I started dating one of the smart girls things were better for all of us :)
Too true. Gotta surround yourself with successful people.
Do you need to have a citizenship to work as an aerospace engineer in the United States or is a green card accepted to land a job?
Most jobs will require citizenship. But there are some that only require a green card. But I'd imagine they're harder to find.
If I got a aerospace engineer degree and decided not to go for a job in aerospace engineering what other jobs could I get with the degree
You could also get any other job as a mechanical engineer. There are tons of those in tons of fields. Basically any company that needs to design and build something.
I’m international student wanting to pursue my further education in USA
Should I also join community college and then join for 4yr degree
I have looked into few community colleges but they mostly have degree/diploma related to aviation engineering
Did you graduate from university of central Florida ?
UCF is in my wishlist can I ask you about it?
Yes I would definitely go that route, because international student tuition is incredibly expensive. It doesn't really matter what you do in community college as long as you fulfill the pre-requisite classes for the 4year school you apply to afterwards.
Yes I did graduate from UCF.
Also fair warning I always make sure international students know before committing to a degree in the US. Getting an aerospace engineering job in the US almost always requires either citizenship or AT LEAST permanent residency (green card).
If you REALLY want to save money, then going to a community college is worth it. But many schools don't accept APs and don't give credit. So going to a school that does give credit is better in the longrun, time wise.
Absolutely. AP classes are almost never better than real college classes.
Currently I'm in my second year of bachelor's in Electrical Engineering i want to pursue AE. I live in India currently pls bro guide me on my next path to become an AE Engineer.
Brazil in your shirt?? 🇧🇷
Sim! 🇧🇷
I need it pliz
Hey Austin thanks for the video !!!!Lets get it down to the main problem I am currently living in India and Just finished my 10th grade I really want to be an aerospace engineer SHOULD I MOVE TO THE US ??????? for higher education and job
PlS REPLY I WILL BE WAITING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AGAIN THANKS FOR YOUR GUIDANCE !
What other subjects should I take as a high school student apart from Physics and Maths? Or are these the *only* ones I have to take?
If you want to get ahead, I would take as many college classes as you can. Then when you get to college you can focus on the engineering classes.
@@AviationAustin This is an excellent advice, I completely agree with you.
FYI your videos are amazing
Thank you, glad you enjoy them
Hi there ! I really liked your video. I’m really looking forward to becoming an aerospace engineer in the US though I'm French and I don't have a US citizenship... I am currently aiming for Mc Gill university or Concordia in Canada but I’am not sure that my degree will be worth anything if I can't work in the US. There is no way I'm working in France, I want to get out of this country and work in the US/Canada ASAP 😅 do you have any tips for me please ? I would be most grateful!
Well I think you have three best aerospace countries listed here. But I have to say you're going to find it difficult to work in the US with a French citizenship and no US citizenship. You almost certainly will not be able to find a job in defense in the us. You may be able to find something in Canada with bombardier. But I am not familiar with their requirements.
@@AviationAustin ok thanks! I really appreciate your quick response. I’ll try to figure something out and make the right choices.
You said going to community college to do the math and physics classes was a good idea. After that how important is it to go to a well known university(MIT, CALTECH, etc)?
I used to think is was more important than I have found it to be in practice. At the end of the day you're likely to end up working the same jobs at the same companies making the same salary. If you're a genius and you want to do research or want to be the best in your field, then it may make sense. But unless that appeals to you, you're likely just spending more to make the same amount of money.
Thank you for the insight. I’d also like to know the best way to network. How do you build relationships with others within the aerospace field?
I'd start with getting involved in clubs relating to aerospace engineering. You can build relationships there. The best way I've seen to get a job in aerospace engineering is go to AIAA conference. That's a great way meet people as well. I'd also go to all the career fairs with aerospace companies you can go to. An internship if you can swing it is the best way to get your foot in the door of a company by far. So I'd make that a priority as well
Anyone know the best school to get your bachelors in engineering after you get your associates degree?
MIT
her bro i want you to suggest me which subject to chose for A-level
for aerospace engineering
I don't know what that means
How do you apply for these conferences? Where do you go to search them?
If you just search AIAA conferences you'll find them. You'll be able to sign up when you join the organization
@@AviationAustin thank you so much I really appreciate all the help you offer. You are changing lives and I hope you are able to further grow your career in your aerospace journey! You gave me hope and insight and I really appreciate your time along with your effort. Thank you so much AviationAustin!
Is aerospace engineering is difficult for forgien students because they go to college as well as they doing their job for paying their fee..?
Going to school is the easy part for foreigners. Getting a job as a foreigner is nearly impossible.
I struggle with middle school math a little bit will i still have a chance of becoming a Aerospace Engineer
For sure. I struggled even in calculus.
Hi , I am a 17 year old foreign high school, I would like to know if it's possible to join an engineering organization just Like aiaa even if I have no history or degree with aerospace ( I am literally still in highschool)
International student are not usa citizen we can't get aerospace job?
It's very very difficult. Impossible at some places
Can you apply for jobs in the US without a citizenship in which you will be able to attain one? Or it that a lost cause? Cheers,
I would say the vast majority of not 99% of aerospace jobs in the US require citizenship. If you could establish residency working another job it would help. But i know its very difficult.
im here in india and community college is a big no no and i dont even think their is one 0_0 so what should i do?
I don't know the first thing about college in India, sorry
Am i too old to do a masters in aerospace Engineering? Am 29 now and planning of doing it in this sept intake.. In uk.. Am afraid of workload and also dont have confidence.. But am passionate about it. And faacinated by the astronomy and space... ☹️
It's just 1 yr masters program 12 months which will pass studenly when u start studying. Don't worry you aren't late. Even most people who want to study aerospace engineering but they can't ever in their life atleast you are getting to do it.
Also it's masters. Most people even don't do masters.
I live in Europe and am going to college in about 1 year, have a massive passion for Aerospace Engineering. But I’m missing any work experience to get into good colleges. Any ideas for how to find internships or work experience?
You need work experience to get into college? That's interesting. Normally I would suggest doing engineering type clubs but obviously that's not work experience. I honestly don't know how you would find aerospace work without college experience. Sorry. In the meantime I'd say any job will give you valuable experience and save money for college.
@@AviationAustin Yes here the sorts of things Universities really look for is someone who has some hands on practical experience or has done something to really show interest (for example someone who has coded something interesting can put that into their application to become a software engineer). Do you know any projects like that I could work on as an aspiring Aerospace engineer whose a junior?
@@AviationAustin btw what is your salary if you don’t mind me asking? I love Aerospace Engineering even if it’s not very high paying but I hear it’s generally pretty decent for a living
is 21 too late to get started with community college for a degree and then going towards aerospace?/mechanical??
Certainly not. I graduated aerospace engineering when I was 26 and I had a few classmates older than me.
What College did you attend after Community College Austin
The University of Central Florida
@@AviationAustin Thanks!!!.......clue was in the shirt🙄
