Mechanical to Aerospace engineering

[zinho02]

Can i take mechanical engineering in undergrad and then aerospace engineering in graduate studies?

Just Wondering... I'm planning on taking either mech or aerospace engineering at the University of Toronto. Then i want to do grad school in the states.

Yes you can. Did you not see the thread about this like 2 threads down?

Yes you can! I am doing it right now. Finished my undergrad as a Mech E last spring and I am currently a first year grad student in aerospace engineering. Just make sure to take all of the relevant classes that you can and try to get involved in research that is aerospace related.

As an aerospace engineer senior student,I advise you to do your undergrad in aerospace engineering too but ofcourse i do not know either that department exists there or it is good enough.It also depends on the orientation of you.You want to do your M.S. on control systems,propulsion,structure&materials,communication avionics,systems engineeering or another branch? Firsty I think you got to decide on that

Yes, it is possible to pursue a graduate degree in aerospace engineering after completing an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering. Many universities offer a path for students to specialize in aerospace engineering at the graduate level after completing a general engineering degree at the undergraduate level. However, it is important to research the specific requirements and prerequisites for the graduate program you are interested in, as they may vary between universities. Additionally, gaining experience in the aerospace industry through internships or research opportunities during your undergraduate studies can also be beneficial for your graduate studies in aerospace engineering. Good luck with your academic and career pursuits!
