| I am a long time engineer in the aerospace industry, and have worked with all kinds of engineers, not just aerospace. Aerospace has lots of jobs for mechanical, materials, industrial, chemical process, electrical and computer engineers as well. I have also worked with a couple of Licensed Professional Engineers from Cal State Fullerton. Both of them were excellent engineers.
In the aerospace industry they care more about how well you do in college, rather than what particular school you went to. The top vice presidents and managers at my company site (a Fortune 500 aerospace firm) went to places like Iowa State and Purdue. If you are a good engineer, and willing to do the work, you can work your way up regardless of what school you graduated from. |
