Is mechanical engineering better than aerospace engineering?

Aerospace Engineers are more likely to work for the military and government as compared to Mechanical Engineers. While it comes to employment, mechanical Engineering has a wider scope. Both Mechanical as well as Aerospace Engineers get a decent salary. All the best.

Can Mechanical Engineers apply for aerospace?

Yes, a mechanical engineer student can go for aerospace industry if the student has required set of skills. ISRO recruits mechanical engineers through its ICRB exam to work in the field of aerospace and their are many other companies as well. If you are interested you can also go for any course related to it.

Is Elon Musk mechatronics engineer?

Mechatronics visionaries, such as Mori, Craig, Musk and Dr. Dave, are leaders in their engineering fields. They take risks, they combine radical ideas, and they produce amazing products large and small.

Can a mechatronic engineer work in aerospace?

Yes. Mechatronics is a combination of Mechanical Engineering with controls and computer science. Check for aerospace professors who are doing research in robotics or in the control of various aerospace systems (including jet or rocket engines).

Can I do masters in aerospace engineering after mechanical engineering?

Yes, you can definitely study MTech Aeronautical engineering after your BTech in Mechanical engineering. Mechanical Engineering is a nice and relevant stream to apply for Aeronautical Engineering in Masters level.

Can I do Masters in mechanical engineering after aerospace engineering?

Can I do masters in aerospace engineering after mechatronics Engineering?

Yes, you can pursue M. Tech. in Aerospace engineering/ Aeronautical Engineering after completing UG in Mechatronics. Also, an undergraduate from Mechatronics will help you in getting specialization in many fields of Aerospace like you can pursue in propulsion, combustion, avionics and many other.

Is it possible to become an aerospace engineer with a Bachelor’s?

Yes it is. As far as I know, in some universities one even has to do Bachelor’s Mechanical Engineering to study Master’s Aerospace Engineering, for example in RWTH Aachen. Besides, if you want to study Master’s Aerospace Engineering, I would recommend you to visit as many Aerospace related lectures in the bachelor study.

Should I major in mechatronics or aerospace engineering?

Some MechE departments have excellent mechatronics programs (often 5 years), which might be a good fit. Some aerospace departments excel in space robotics, so you might consider that. You can work in Aerosoace or Robotics with either degree.

What is the difference between aerospace engineering and Mechanical Engineering?

But if you’re unsure, you might want to do mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineering is the general engineering of dynamics, kinetics, fluids, etc while aerospace engineering is specialization of mechanical engineering.

Should I go for aerospace engineering or robotics?

Some aerospace departments excel in space robotics, so you might consider that. You can work in Aerosoace or Robotics with either degree. You’ll be a bit better connected in aerospace with the aerospace degree, but your candidacy will look a bit better for non-aerospace jobs with the MechE degree.
