Day in the Life of an Aerospace Engineering Student | Politecnico di Milano 

Palese, aspettavo che qualcuno lo notasse ahahahah.

il dolore

Hey can i knw about fees structure

ahahahaha feel you

Same here bro

@@fonikgaming1217 hows exam phase going so far my friend?

Hope all went well!

@@whiteflipaclipanimations7118 it didnt, failed 2 exams.

Yes, it's true. I also discovered that universities are very different from each other! Having the opportunity to participate in competitions and stuff like that is amazing, but university side believe me also polimi is very theoretical and close to zero practical. Good luck on your studies too!

ahahaha yeah that’s true

yeah...~\(≧▽≦)/~

Sistee i need guidance Can i get help please

Ahahahah I kinda like spending my time doing things i like. Being super passionate about space, rockets and motorsport it’s not that absurd for me to spend a lot of my time on these. I live a very busy life, yes, but i think i am happy with it at the moment. I think I will try to keep this balance as long as i can academically afford it :)

These are called overachievers.. they are persuing things which suits them the most .. It's amazing

IMO it is only scene

You can do it! Best of luck!

@@christianferracane thankss

Oh my gosh , I'm an Indian as well, thinking of pursuing aerospace engineering, studying in 11th and having exams this month...what a coincidence

ahahahaha

@@christianferracane u planning on writing jee?

Thank you 🥺🥺 I will!

Thank you Mohamed! If you want to ask me some of the questions you mentioned DM me on my instagram @christianferracane , I'd be happy to share opinions.

@@christianferracane Can I ask sth too (using DM)? Next year I'll (hopefully) join the Polimi but I'm not sure whether to pursue my studies in Aerospace engineering or mechanical engineering.

Hi Mohammed I am also Mohammed and I am also pursuing aerospace engineering What a coincidence

Of course you can leo!

yes indeed. skywarder is a huge part of stuff that i am learning! looking forward to share more comments about it too

hey I'm currently a junior in high school and thinking of taking aerospace engineering as my major but I've heard that it is very hard and I kinda want to enjoy my 20s, go out with friends, date and all the that stuff. do you think aeronautical engineering would be a viable degree for me?

@@keerthi155 for my case, I barely have the time to hang out with my friends (and even my family). That is because of too much load of general education courses, plus the intensity of our major subjects. But at some point, there will be weeks that I found myself free from workloads. With good time management I think you'll definitely find time for whatever it is. Good luck!

Thank you so so much!

Ahahahahah speriamo che funzioni

i think you are so right! however consider that it’s not true that you won’t get a good job with an aerospace engineering degree. it’s much easier to find a middle-high ranked job in the aerospace field than in the computer science field, and the salaries are not that different. don’t let them kill your enthusiasm and keep dreaming!

@@christianferracane Thank you! Though in India, that's the case unfortunately. Aero is still a developing industry, unlike CS, for which you'll find professionals and companies everywhere you look. We're less likely to find jobs in core sectors. Most companies that come for recruitments to universities come from IT companies too.

Yes, that might me true. However if you're willing to move to another country you might see the situation changing!

@@christianferracane Yes yes absolutely that's the thing we have to go abroad for further studies and to avail more opportunities.

yes that's true. hope for the best.

thank you! me too :)

@@keerthi155 I think you still can and you should, at the end of the day if this is what you really want to do, you start enjoying it even more than you could imagine, of course some days will be more difficult to handle and at the beginning you might have some problems with balancing social life and studies, but as long as you are aware that a lot of responsibilities comes with this dream, never give up and give your 100% to your studies and when taking a break enjoy it as much as you can. I believe in you, we need more aeronautical engineers! ✨

agree!

ahahaha thanks! i will for sure consider to share other days in my life regarding different situations! Make sure to subscribe not to lose those contents!

We have examination sessions. There is a break from December 20 to February 20 when we have no classes. This year I had 5 different exams. During this period you can try exams 2 times and accept or give up the grade you received. At this time you can take an exam up to 5 times during the year. Obviously, the opportunity to retake the exam so many times means that they are also much more complex. During these two months off we have time to prepare for these exams and to take them. consider that the dates of my exams for example were very tight anyway: January 3, 9, 19, 23 and 24 for the first "round" and in case I wanted to take them again I could go on the 30th, 3rd, 9th, 13th and finally the 14th of February. this means that it is actually not really two months of "vacation" but rather two months of "finish one exam and study right away for the next." classes last from a minimum of two hours up to three generally, with a few exceptions; last semester for example I had a 6-hour lab in a row every week. yes, the lectures are very in-depth and extremely theoretical, often too much so. I'm in my first year, but since high school lasts 5 years here in Italy and not 4 like in the states, I'm actually the same age as a sophomore. unfortunately, we don't have an end-of-year project like many colleges in the states, which makes college, especially the bachelor's, very theoretical (sadly). What we have instead is a mandatory thesis at the end of the three-year course. In that sense, you may be more familiar with it, we are more like universities like Princeton for example. ahahaha, I will try to get more sleep. I know the solution is not to cut back on sleep hours, but sometimes it is the only solution. thank you so much for everything, I appreciate the comment, especially because so long! good luck with your studies too ;)

​​@@keerthi155I'm sorry it took so long for me to respond. If you want to be an aerospace engineer, it can be very rewarding (especially if you want to work with airplanes or spacecraft). But you will need to devote a lot of time to the degree and be committed to it. It also depends on what you want to do in life. I personally have been super interested in airplanes since I was 8 and have been wanting to work in aircraft design for a very long time. Even though there were times that classes were kicking me down, I stayed determined and asked lots of questions. So I've been wanting this for a long time. Depending on how interested you are in aerospace engineering and how badly you want it, you may find it to be a good fit for you or it may not be. Now if you also manage your time well, you could also do some stuff and hang out with friends. There might even be some opportunities that won't want to miss that you might want to go to (like if you wanted to see a really cool rocket launch). You would just need to make sure that you're keeping up with your grades and not letting yourself falter. But you have to ask yourself: what do you want to do in life? And will you be happy with it years down the line?

ahahaha i know the team! thank you!

Hehehe would you look at that

thank you very much. hope you found this helpful!

I’m going to do an erasmus in the same field too! if you also start on February hit me up so we can talk about that

yess

ahahahah happy to hear that!!

we’re kinda doing the same here. starting with fundamentals and then getting deeper.

p.s. aggiornaci se sei ancora integro. Scusa se do del tu ma sono abituato nei commenti.

ahahahah faccio questa vita solo perché mi piace alla fine. la metà degli impegni che ho me li creo da solo perché son cose che mi interessano e in un certo senso per assurdo quello è il mio “tempo libero”, o per lo meno come decido di occuparlo. buona fortuna con automazione!

vai tranquillo il tu va benissimo ahahahah ho solo un anno in più, mica sono un vecchio

@@christianferracane Se ti piace allora non è pesante. La stessa cosa in parte succede anche a me perché essendo una persona curiosa passo i pomeriggi a fare ricerche su una vastità di argomenti e questo è sia un vantaggio che un problema perché se è vero che ho una buona cultura è anche vero che non passo molto tempo ad analizzare il singolo argomento (capiamoci su alcuni che mi interessano particolarmente approfondisco ma generalmente non lo faccio). Adesso che c'è chat GPT sfrutto l'IA per fare una parte del lavoro (non tutto perché commette errori). Qualcosa in comune c'è.

ci sta

We don’t have classes on Saturday. I don’t remember the exact number of lecture hours per week but it’s about 30h a week + personal study

Good luck!

Bro did u join aerospace engineering

thanks mate! i hope you can fulfill it too.

dare mighty things. That's my mantra!

ho fatto il liceo classico e ora ho la media del 29 a ingegneria aerospaziale e ho aperto una startup che collabora proprio con i team di formula 1!!!!. non ti abbattere, tieni duro e studia "il giusto". coltiva le tue passioni e non smettere di crederci. u can do it ayy

@@christianferracane grazie per la motivazione, ne avevo decisamente bisogno! Spero possa continuare con questo grande progetto. Keep pushing!

Thank you man! Looking forward to see you in Milan :)

arriverà senz'altro!

cool!

Good luck!

Grazie mille!

🫶🏼

Yes!! Where are you studying?

@@christianferracane University at Buffalo =)

Cool! Hit me up on instagram at @christianferracane . I have some questions regarding AEE in the us :)

ahahah you're not wrong after all

Hope so!

:)

ahahaha almost forgot. I don’t know why but I associate Bovisa with engineering!

It's my pleasure!

Subscribe to make sure you won’t miss any new content! thank you so much :)

ahahahah thanks

Thank you so much mate! So inspiring! Keep it up, you will become a pilot! I am too planning on taking a PPL (just private pilot tho) license as soon as I can afford it! Aviation is such an amazing field, wow. Good luck for everything!

ahahahahah ci si becca!

Naahh don't say that. Yes, obviously it's way more difficult but impossible is nothing! I mean try your best and apply for your dream schools. I believe in you ;)

@@christianferracane I'm agree. It is hard to join in aerospace industry but I'll keep going and do my best(:

our aerospace engineering program has some computer science related subjects :)

ahahaha nella mia testa ingegneria = bovisa ma effettivamente non è vero lol. polipopi ci ha fatto il lavaggio del cervello

cool!

i wish i was 🥴

Cool! I think we are also planning to change category in the next years but i’m not sure

T'es dans quel école si je peux me permettre ?

@@gasparleclercq1138 ESTACA, j'imagine que tu es dans le même

@@evenmestrallet5895 non je suis encore au lycée haha, je demandais juste pour me renseigner

@@gasparleclercq1138 ok ok

maybe, depends on the university tbh, but like, usually yes if you do complete "other subjects" after from undergraduate at aerospace eng.

I use google calendar. hope it helps :)

@@christianferracane Thank youu so much

Fizik dersinin ozellikle hareket konularinda ve matematikte iyi olman gerekiyor aksi halde zorlanacagin bir bolum olur. Bu iki derse ekstra önem ver. Başarılar.

@@yusuferdinc06 teşekkürler ☺️ sen de mi okuyorsun bu mühendisliği

@@hazalk19 rica ederim. Evet Aybü havacılık ve uzay müh. 2. Sinifım

@@yusuferdinc06 ay gerçekten mi orayı istiyorum ben de

@@hazalk19 odtüyü hedefle olmazsa yine tercih edebilirsin. Ankara'da olması avantaj.

Yeah I figured it could be an interesting video. Thanks for the heads up :) subscribe to stay updated ahahahah

In Europe its Delft University (Netherlands)

Yeah yoy should come over study LR

hey raz! can you dm me on instagram at @christianferracane? i would like to ask one or two questions about delft! that would help me a lot!

@@Garouu23 Can you tell more about Delft DM me @syed_suffiyan_007

Yes you can apply for a master degree

@@christianferracane Ty for you answer, If you having time, you can do a video about application from university ? I tried to understand the Italy education system but i didn't.

yessss

aww thank you so much :)

Hey, thanks! I'm in a bachelor, and unfortunately they are only Italian taught, so, being an italian citizen and speaker, i did not have to send any language certificate. the university is pretty cheap, so basically anyone can afford it , especially since it is based on your family income, ranging from a minimum of 0 (full ride) up to the full 2700 if i am not wrong. the "award" is automatically given to you based solely on your financial situation, at least for bachelor.

@@christianferracane omg, thanks for answering me!

i think that bachelor courses are only taught in italian :'(

thankssss❤️

Will do! thank you so much for the comment!

@@christianferracanescheduling things before hand or noting down after it's done ????? .. if you do so how you manage to schedule all the things coz whenever I sit to schedule things it consumes my time n I'm not able to complete my task bt feels lyk I need to schedule thing so that I can be more productive in less amount

I will make a video about it! make sure to subscribe not to loose the contents. Gonna share some tipsss ;)

Yesss! There are so many more than I expected and it really seems like society is finally accepting the fact that there should be no gender gap!

Hi Ahmad. I’m in my first year so i still don’t know them all. We’ve been working on CAD design so Autodesk Inventor, Solidworks, SolidEdge. We also used MatLab and many others softwares for C program language. Hit me up on LinkedIn! I would like to ask you some questions aswell!

@@christianferracane sure

More to come!

I am 19 years old, currently in my first year out of 3. In italy we have one more year of high school so i guess it counts as sophomore. I’m not sure about the master program: i already know i’ll be studying space engineering but i don’t know where yet. Hopefully US or UK, but Delft or TUM are not bad choices at all!

@@christianferracane Once you start to get Orbital Mechanics and Space Environment you will fall even more in love with space! May I ask why you are not considering ISAE? Good luck with your first year!

Ahahahaha i just forgot to add it there. Anyway i would still be more interested in names like Stanford / MIT. Probably dreaming too big but who knows ahahah

ahahaha grazie mille. tryin' to improve every day!

ahahahah grazie

AHAHAHAHAHAH

i made a specific video about that!

yes, first year

For bachelors unfortunately no :(

yes you really should

ahahahahahha

i will

For bachelor it's only Italian. Master is instead only in english.

🦜

più una roba del genere 💔

Thanks for the idea! I will, for sure.

bachelor is Italian taught only. grad school/master is instead only english taught.

Thanks! I am currently in my first year and i am studying aerospace engineering.

engineering course contents = Shit ton of math and Physics

literally lmao

Yep and honestly it scares the s**t out of me. Ferrari in my ❤️

You need to take a test (TOL polimi) and send some documents but there is not really a specific requirement. The test is in italian and the higher you are in the standings, the more likely you will get in.

yes, you can choose between space and aeronautical engineering

e poi si riconoscono le slide del casalegno 🙃

ahahah proprio loro

Make sure to focus onda the stem subjects and don’t get anxious for nothing!

That's the plan! Hope I will be accepted for the exchange program ;)

@@christianferracane haha great! I study aerospace too and will be going next year 😎

Cool! Hit me up on LinkedIn!

Keep up!

They are both great options for your future. Don't get scared about jobs because there will always be the need for computer scientist and especially, in the future, for AI technicians.

ahahahah sorry. just kidding oc!

@@christianferracane haha dw I know :p keep it up :)

If you are passionate about space, aviation or anything related to it i say you should at least give it a try! It's very hard, yes, but at the end of the day if you like what you do it's not that heavy.

apply for a an aerospace engineering program in some university ahahahah
