I just got my BS in physics and am now taking 2 engineering classes: heat transfer and fluid mechanics. its only been a week so far, but I'm enjoying heat transfer a lot more than fluid mechanics. I want to take statics and dynamics in the future, since I liked doing those problems in my lower-div physics classes. I'm considering a MS or phD in mechanical engineering. I ultimately want to do modeling/computational work (since i would much rather do numerical analysis than experimental work) for an aerospace company/defense contractor doing work related to making weapons, tanks, and missiles. I may also consider just being a research scientist in academia. If I specialize in heat transfer/thermal analysis, what kind of stuff can I do for an aerospace company?
If I wish to switch to engineering, what's better: taking engineering classes and liking them, or working in industry full-time for a few years and then deciding to go into engineering?
as far as taking engineering classes to see if grad school in engineering is the right choice, I've heard various opinions, as some said its a good idea while others said its just a waste of time
