Im hoping to study AE as an undergrad in college in under a year. Right now I've finished all the basic calculus (vector calc, multivariable calc), and Im moving on to the physics stuff. Wish me luck!

AE as Aerospace Engineering? How's the job market for it now? I have a BS in AE but couldn't find a job after graduation in '94-'95. That was when the cold war ended. My senior projet was a Weather Rocket that took temperature and pressure readings as it parachuted down while we used theodolites for tracking. Went back to school and changed my major with a MS in Computer Science. Now working as a QA in Documentum, Inc. Best of luck to you!

Actually Im hoping to use the AE degree to push me towards a land based career. I want to specialize in flow dynamics and aerodynamics, and work on high-speed vehicles. I guess I'll be a quasi-ME. I really want to work on those new levitating trains that they've been designing recently.

I'm an EE - I work for Ford Motor Co. Research and Advanced Engineering on Advanced Safety Systems. I previously was a development engineer for the Active Yaw Control system that was implemented on the Lincoln LS and Jaguar S-Type.

 

Before that, I designed Avionics Test Systems at McDonnell Douglas (F15E, F18E/F).
