Studying aerospace engineering at UCLA

[samloseness]

I am currently studying aerospace engineering at UCLA and was wondering if anyone had any good advice to securing a good job after college. I am going to start interning in the winter, but need some advice on what companies to look into for a good aerospace job. I found one site that lists all the http://www.ranker.com/list/aerospace-engineering-companies/reference" , but I want some advice on what companies to pursue. Anything would help and I greatly appreciate it. Cheers!

It is my opinion that commercial spaceflight will be a burgeoning industry in the next few decades.

To follow up on this, go and check out Scaled Composites! No really, just google or wiki that company and tell me if you're not excited.

Interesting. I'm glad someone is doing it. NASA has had a monopoly on spaceflight for too many decades. Unfortunately, it has become a cumbersome government bureaucracy resistant to change.

As a scientist with a background in aerospace engineering, I can offer some advice on securing a good job after college. First and foremost, internships are a great way to gain hands-on experience and make valuable connections in the industry. Make the most out of your winter internship by networking with professionals and learning as much as you can about the company and the industry.

In terms of companies to pursue, it is important to consider your interests and goals in the field of aerospace engineering. Are you interested in a specific area, such as aircraft design or space exploration? Research companies that align with your interests and have a strong track record in that particular area.

Additionally, I would recommend reaching out to alumni from UCLA who are currently working in the aerospace industry. They can provide valuable insights and potentially even refer you to job opportunities within their companies. Utilizing online resources, such as the list of aerospace engineering companies on Ranker, is also a good start, but make sure to do your own research and thoroughly evaluate each company before applying.

Lastly, don't underestimate the power of networking and building relationships in the industry. Attend career fairs, conferences, and industry events to meet professionals and learn about potential job opportunities. Stay proactive and persistent in your job search, and you will increase your chances of securing a good job after college. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors in the field of aerospace engineering.
