Aerospace Engineering...

Anyone here studying Aerospace Engineering?
It has caught my attention and may consider studying it.

Is it hard?
Which Uni?
Will I find a job straight after graduation?

Thanks.

There was some scandal about RMIT's aerospace eng, just putting it out there. I've heard good things about monash.
As with any eng course, it is up there with high difficulty.
I think i researched job prospects for aeroeng a while back and there should be no dramas finding one straight away. For astronaut eng, USA would be a better option.

I was just on Monash and it looks good.

And with being a astronaut... I am Muslim lmfao.

Hmmm, I had a look at both sites. Entry requirements etc.

RMIT gives a bad indication of their expectation: " Current Year 12 prerequisite units 3 & 4—English (any) and mathematical methods (either)."

Whilst Monash states that its 4 years and " a study score of at least 30 in English (ESL) or 25 in any other English and a study score of at least 25 in mathematical methods (either) and in one of chemistry or physics. "

Firstly, the myth that "omg there are no jobs for aerospace students" must be expunged! There are plenty of jobs for Aerospace graduates, just not in the Aerospace field. It is a little known fact that graduates of Monash University's Aerospace Engineering program walk out of the degree as accredited MECHANICAL engineers as WELL as accredited aerospace engineers. Thus, you can apply for a whole host of jobs in the Mechanical Engineering field - and these jobs are abundant. And, in fact, from what the dean of Engineering was telling me at the scholarship ceremony, Aerospace students are being picked AHEAD of normal mechanical engineering students.

However, if you actually want to work in the Aerospace field, that is a lot harder. The job market is very starved, and you'd be hard pressed to find a job better than "Aircraft Maintenance Engineer" which is apparently quite boring and underpaid. The are a small number of jobs available from Boeing and Airbus in Australia but they are few and far between and competition is FIERCE. If you *really* want to work in the Aerospace field, you will have to consider a move to the USA. If you're like me and want to work on spacecraft... you HAVE to move to the US. So, yeah, hope this has been of help.

Come do it at Monash, we have much better facilities, lecturers and learning environment.

EDIT: Just saw your post about missing Aerospace Engineering at Monash.

Here's what you do. You have 1st preference as Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering and 2nd preference as Bachelor of Engineering. If you miss Aerospace, and get into straight Engineering, you can actually still do Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering from the BEGINNING.

All Monash Engineering degrees share what's called the "common first year" where EVERY stream does the same units as each other first up. You come do the first year of the Bachelor of Engineering, which is EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FIRST YEAR OF AEROSPACE ENGINEERING (except for one unit, and you can take that as an elective!) and then if you get an average of 65-70 or more, you can just transfer into Aerospace Engineering and go straight into 2nd year :)

Good luck with it.

45kms is about how far Monash is for me. I have to drive from one side of Melbourne to the other, but it's not that bad because I can just get on the freeways
