<p>Currently pursuing a MS in Aeronautics & Astronautics (Aerospace Engineering) and thinking of transfering to MS Mechanical Engineering. Requires that I apply to the ME department, not sure if the ME department admit me. I figure that with a MSME, I would have better job prospect as oppose to MSAA. </p>
<p>Opinions?</p>
<p>They seriously require to you apply and not just fill out transfer paperwork? Make sure you have this straight before you do this whole application business. You may create an unnecessary headache for yourself.</p>
<p>You shouldn’t be switching for job prospects. You should be switching based on what you want to work on. When it comes to grad school, you are specializing anyway, so the whole concept of being “well-rounded” is nearly moot. This is especially true in the case of a research-based degree.</p>
