How To Get A Job - Aerospace Engineer 

Wow what a great dad

Thank you. I typically apply on the website for the specific company I am interested in. Otherwise I prefer to use Indeed when searching for a job or internship. They have a good search engine and company reviews as well.

Glad my video was helpful. I would say since Mechanical engineering is more broad there are generally more positions available in the aerospace industry than electrical but thats just speculation. I would google the job outlook for these position to see the expected growth. Bureau of labor and statistics is a great website for this question. MBA is valuable if you plan to go into management role as an engineer. Assuming you want to climb the corporate latter to something like a VP of engineering position. But its certainly not required. Having a masters is important if you want to do more advance technical work and be on more cutting edge R&D projects. Generally the more advanced the project the more likely they want Phd and Master students who are experts. Thanks again for tuning into my channel.

I'm not too sure about internships for high school students. I would say if you can't get a job or internship yet just focus or creating your own personal projects at home that you can show off in your college application. Build something that you are passionate about. For me in high school I built a gaming pc from scratch by watching youtube video tutorials. Learn a programming language online if you are interested in programming. Take online intro engineering courses on topics you are interested in. This will give you a head start on college and make you more advanced. Thanks for watching my video.

Hello, Sorry for the late reply. If it were me and I planned on doing Aero in grad school I would definitely do aero as an undergraduate. Graduate school in general is very difficult especially for engineering. So trying to learn all the fundamentals of aerospace in graduate school would be tough. Doable but tough. Mechanical is a lot more broad for job hunting purposes and there a lot more opportunities because of that. Also I will note that I personally thought Aero was more difficult as an undergraduate when I switch from mechanical my sophomore year. It requires a broad range of technical skills. Programming. Decent math skills. Basic understanding of chemistry for combustion topics. Lab reports where you have to understand physics. You basically have to be Iron man!

Sure bro. Look me up on linkedin and we can chat. Would love to help.

You will need to find a university that has an aerospace program specifically if you want to get into the aerospace industry after colleges. Otherwise you will need to find a way to get into aerospace internships at the very least to get experience. Companies are initially very picky about which degree you have for your first job.

Check out my portfolio website link below. If you scroll down to the "About Me" section and click the "writing sample" button you will see a aero report I did back in my undergraduate studies for wind tunnel testing. Your project sounds very interesting. I would certainly add that to my portfolio. You never know how recruiters will see your projects. If your writing skills are good and the report shows you have some basic technical skills, that's worth showing in my opinion. Get more involved in projects where you can show your documented work. sjjone24.wixsite.com/apollo11sjjone24.wixsite.com/apollo11

@@ShaqJonesKnight thanks for the response. I’ll be taking a class on compressible flow later this year, and it heavily revolves on writing design reports just like what you have on your portfolio. As for projects, on Monday earlier this week, I actually just got accepted into a project called UCI Cargo Plane that competes in SAE Aero Design West, so that’ll definitely be something I can put on my portfolio. I also did a quadcopter design project in my freshman year, so that’s another project that I have currently. Regarding internships, how important do you think they are for getting a job? On one hand, I have people telling me they’re struggling to find a job because of their lack of internships, and on the other hand, a friend told me she (as an AE) and some of her AE friends didn’t have internships and still landed a job. For reference, she got into Lockheed Martin as soon as she graduated. If I do apply for one, I just feel like it might be a bit too late for me for apply for one as I’ll be graduating next year, but I can still apply for 2022 summer internships since I have a student status.

For international students it's difficult to get a job at defense companies because they generally require you to be a US citizen to have a security clearance. Most other non defense companies don't though. Do your research on the company you are applying to so that you don't waste time. The name of the university usually does not matter. Most engineering programs teach the same fundamentals. As long as you graduate from an accredited university with a respectable GPA you'll be fine. Like I said in the video it 's more impressive to companies to have real world experience from internships or research projects. Even more impressive if you build or create you own passion projects on your spare time.

Hello, Congrats on completing your bachelors degree. I can't recommend a major for your Masters programs because that depends on what you are personally interested in. All I can say is experiment with different engineering topics and find something that you are truly passionate about. For me that was military aircrafts and spacecrafts so thats why I chose Aerospace. The market for Aerospace jobs is good in the US but competitive. You will have to have good grades and practical experience. And thank you for watching my video.

What ever you are passionate about. You don't necessarily need to have a minor. Might add too much work to your engineering workload. Do research on the elective classes offered at your college ahead of time for your major and read the syllabus to see if you work be interested.

You would normally do an internship during the summer when you are not taking courses.

@@ShaqJonesKnight Ah ok, right, thank you xx

go for best colleges and see their old records on aerospace branch

IITs are the way to go

Not a lot scope for aerospace in India.
