<p>Does anyone know the requirement for external transfer into aerospace engineer? gpa? course needed to complete or currently taken? competitiveness? Any info is helpful. Thanks</p>
<p>i was told by an engineering advisor that if you transfer from any texas state school if you have a three you get in automatically</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That is incorrect, as I’ve responded to you saying that in another thread.</p>

<p>how are aerospace job availability compare to that of other engineering majors?</p>
<p>the name aerospace engineering sounds very good but the job opportunity is …horrible. Better do mechanical engineering that would help.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I agree 
I really want to work in the aerospace field but, the job oppurtunity is slim. So Im applying for mechanical engineering, at least then I would have a broader degree to fall back on.</p>
<p>A very smart man once told me, “Do what interests you the most, don’t spend time worrying about what type of engineer you want to declare a title to. Everything else will find a way.” The truth is, job opportunities for aerospace engineering are not slim. If you look at all of the current aerospace engineers, most of them range from the age of your father to the age of your grandfather. And while mechanical may be more safe, the job that you perform will not be the same as an aero. If you really can’t find a job as an aero, go to grad school.</p>
<p>I always hear that mechanical engineers work in the aerospace field. But, I did mention in my statement of purpose essay that I am interested in the aerospace industry, particulary the military sector working on jet engine efficiency, ect. My 2nd choice was Aero so who knows, Mech is pretty populare so I just might be an AERO. Who knows, you might be my TA in the future.</p>
<p>Btw, my dad is a mech engineer so hes obviously bias lol…</p>
<p>thanks all for the piece of advice</p>
