Aerospace Engineering

Nov 15, 2010 16:57

I gotta say, I love studying Aerospace Engineering. The material is Fking hard, like Structures and Rocket Propulsion, but I don't know why it draws me in. I originally was going to do a BS in Physics with a minor in Math after I got serious about school again, but I think ARO is just more interesting. Engineering itself is really interesting. It takes the theoretical and intangible aspects of physics and math and relates them to useful concepts in Aerospace.

Propulsion engineering was my primary focus, but I only enjoy advanced propulsion systems, which is still in it's research stage. Most jobs these days utilize solid rocket or liquid propulsion, which I find not as thrilling. Systems engineering, or overall design of a product, is really starting to get my attention, along with structures and mechanics.

Anyways, can't wait for Spring quarter....Astrodynamics is going to be awesome! 10 classes left to graduate!
