IS AEROSPACE ENGINEERING FOR YOU?

Want to support my channel? - ko-fi.com/sa64r
Not everyone who wants to study aerospace engineering should study aerospace engineering.
I’ve devised a list of 5 points I think matter when it comes to deciding whether or not you should study aerospace engineering at university.
This should not deter anyone at all, as it is not my right to tell you not to do anything but they are simply points of consideration to ensure you make a more educated decision about your future.
If you’re uncertain about studying engineering, then this video will help clarify if it is the right degree for you.
If you want to learn more about what life as an aerospace student is like plus anything else related to studying in the UK and in engineering, comment below or on any video and I will reply :)
Who am I?
My name is Sagar and I am a first-class MEng aerospace engineering graduate in the UK at the University of Sheffield. In my channel, I post videos about engineering, technology, university life and careers. If you're a university student or planning to study at a university in the UK or anywhere else, consider subscribing. I will make helpful videos to help you make the most of university. I have studied in the UK and Australia so I have global university experience. I aim to transition from aerospace to software engineering soon, so be prepared for software content coming out.
Currently, my schedule is to post a new video every Saturday at 16:00 so subscribe and expect great content!

I received an aerospace education in another country as a specialist, and rn work in that sphere. I've been working in this field for a couple of years and I didn't have to use higher than basic math at university as I do workflow modeling. Basic math it's pretty enough for a part of aerospace engineering.

[@SA64R]

Yeh I do agree, the most maths you encounter in your career is probably first and second year at uni

[@obi-wankenobi1750]

It sounds like you didn’t get an engineering degree, instead you got some other technical degree. An aero engineering degree usually requires Calc I, II, and III, matrix algebra, and differential equations.

[@bryanikem-okoye4853]

Hi, I'm currently working on my AA at DSC and plan to transfer to ERAU afterward. I'm relatively good at math and have a good work ethic. My biggest worry is not being smart enough; I hear everyone say that it's really difficult and that the graduation rate is really low. Should I be worried?

[@kalpeshpuri7888]

A video definitely for me💫🤪

[@maxhaste4968]

Same!

[@physicslawss]

So, I am really in love with physics and the universe. Kinda cliche, I know, but since I visited the Griffith Observatory, I've been fascinated about it. Specially 'cause there are so many mysteries to be found out. But, in my country, being a theorical physicist won't get you anything. I would probably be a high school teacher, something that I'd absolutely hate, or a very low payed researcher. Not for me, sorry. Even though I love physics and astrophysics, I love economical stability better. So I found out Aerospace Engineering. It's not exactly what I want, I won't be learning that much about theory and would focus more on the mechanical part, but it actually interested me and I can see myself making aircrafts or other things. I was actually really obcecated on building robots when younger, and programming them, so I think it would be a fit. I still want to learn astrophysics, of course. I know it might be hard to get studies on the theorical field with a Engineering degree, but I would even study physics on university to get there someday. Engineering would be my money to get what I actually want.

[@jeeaspirant7732]

Same.. I do love reading about universe space etc...I have interest in astrophysics but in Indian there is not much scope..and it requires PhD but my financial situation doesn't allow me to go for higher studies. I have to get a job. I am also interested in aeroplanes spacecraft so I will pursue engineering and for passion I will read about astrophysics myself.

[@isaaclovesJesus]

It’s more about imaging and learning how things work than math!

[@3ighttt]

Thanks for your video. I have checked all the points you made and will be entering University soon. I was told to enter a mechanical engineering program and later do my masters in aerospace engineering but I feel like I will miss out more if I don't start aerospace engineering from my first year in university. What are your thoughts on it?

[@SA64R]

Great question, I think that mechanical and aerospace cover more or less the same subjects, just that aero does focus more on aerodynamics where as mechanical is more tailored for someone wanted to go into a career of making machines which aren't aero or weight dependent. I'd say pick whichever you'd feel more motivated to study as I know people who did mech do aero jobs and people do did aero do mech jobs. So doesn't really matter which you pick as long as you are motivated to study it.

[@erikalouise5741]

I am currently a Grade 12 student and graduating next month. I still haven't finalized the course I am going to study for university. I browsed through the school's page which I intend to apply and saw that they are also offering BS Aero Engineering. I got thrilled since I have been in love with planes, spacecrafts, and aircrafts so I jumped here in yt and searched for some vids related to Aero Eng, that basically explains why I am here now. I instantly got goosebumps and extra happy when you mentioned F1 because I'm a die hard fan of it 😭 Is this a sign? Because I'm also worried about all the maths I'm gonna get through. I am SO bad at mathematics.

[@SA64R]

I'm not going to lie to you but maths is a core component of the degree, however not many people are just naturally talented at it and everyone works to get good at it so I don't think you should be worried. As long as you pace yourself and prioritise your studies appropriately you will do very well.

[@techbro349]

Nice video! Got some questions: Future of an aerospace engineer? Does an Aerospace Engineering program have an electronics subject? How much should I study to succesfully complete Aerospace Engineering

[@SA64R]

Please clarify your first question. Yes, there are a few electronics modules you can choose during your degree. I think the amount you have to study varies per person, but on average I'd say doing a couple hours a day after lectures will be sufficient if kept up consistently.

[@omfals]

When I look into it, a lot of good aerospace industries are in America and countries in Europe, if you are not a citizen of these countries, is it still a good idea to take aerospace and go through the long process of getting into those countries? Because I'm a little discouraged after seeing how hard it would be.

[@SA64R]

Yes it is hard, is it worth well that is up to you. I personally left the idea of being an aerospace engineer for the reasons I talk about here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIm5moijbK5oqsU

Hi, I know this is one of your older videos but I was just wondering when you were doing aerospace engineering in uni what was your time table like? As in what time did you start your day at and what time did you finish at? Because I’m Irish and looking at doing aerospace engineering myself in uni but over here it’s 9am-5pm Monday to Friday so I’m just curious as to what it was like in the uk. Thanks for the great video too 😊

[@robbieallen2923]

I’m in my final year of a Masters in aerospace, and whilst I am not the guy in the video, I happen to go to the same university as him (Sheffield). Hours trickle down as you go through the years. Years 1 & 2 tend to be quite intensive time wise (not necessarily difficulty wise). Maybe 9-5 a few days a week, although with frequent hour breaks throughout. However, as you get into your final years, you’re expected to spend less time in lectures and more time self-studying. For example, in my fourth year, I have maybe 5-8 contact hours a week. A significant proportion of this year is my masters project however, so it is mostly self-directed. When deadlines pick up, 9-5 throughout the week is relatively normal. You can definitely get away with less, it depends what you want out of the degree. I would wager I spend ~30-40hrs/week, maybe more towards the end of the semester. Any questions, feel free to ask and I’ll try to get back to you.

[@c0mpl3x91]

Hey I know this is a bit unrelated but I began a Physics Bachelor and I had to drop out... even though i've always been good at Math and Physics I did not understand a single bit of the theory in "Mathematical Analysis" and "Linear Algebra" can someone give me some advice or help?

Hi I know maybe I am late to this. But I discovered my passion to become an Aerospace Engineer. But the thing is that I am almost in my 40s and I have a Masters degree an M.S. In Aeronautics specializing in Space Operations, but I want to do engineering. I want to build more of that skill set to join NASA and want to work with NASA's Artemis Program. But the thing is with me is that It took me a long time for me to get to my Masters and even then its not enough. I love Aircraft, Spacecraft, Rockets, and I do love racing espically Formula 1 cars. I love fast vehicles including Supersonic and hypersonic aircraft and rockets. I am sorry if this is long but I am trying my best to enter with the Aerospace Industry (Space Sector) but its been difficult to get in. Also I do want to design different aircraft, rockets and spacecrafts again the thing is with me is that, I am a bit older but I am not sure on what to do. I graduated of a prestigious University. Sorry for the long response.

[@davidmarasigan3863]

Same boat as you here, I'm fine with learning the theoretical side, but I do lack in any building experience aside from simple garden stuff.

[@SA64R]

Hey Ricky and David, firstly if you've the academic proof you're capable definitely apply since that's the main thing that matters. I myself didn't have a massive amount of experience building physical things aside from doing DIY stuff. If you do want to improve your practical skills before university I would recommend perhaps building a drone from a kit. So you don't need to worry about having 3D printers and other machines, so it may be a relatively cost effective way to dabble with making something physical. Hope this helps :)

You do need to be proficient in Maths and Physics, but I feel that you can get there by just practicing questions often and learning from what you did wrong.

Which laptop is best for students who is studying aeronautical engineering?

[@SA64R]

If you can offer a decent laptop then get a "gaming spec" laptop so decent graphics card (4 years old at most) and 16 GB ram plus a quad-core CPU. The high spec is so you can do your own fluids simulations and CAD work on your own machine if you need to. Also make sure its a windows computer as you'll struggle with software compatibility with Macs. Its common nowadays that unis have remote desktop, so you can use the better uni computers if your laptop cannot handle the computation power.

I get asked this a lot and my honest answer is, implicitly it'll help you understand the theory of flight much more in depth.

Well it will affect you because a university with more extracurricular activities and networks with industry will be the best for you to go to.

So who was your role model in university and high school

[@SA64R]

Don't think I had a specific person, probably a combination of people form astronauts to tech billionaires

[@MrunmayeeJoshi-jv2je]

Can i do computer science engineering in ug and then pursue aerospace engineering in pg

[@amassredradui9308]

im so bad in physic but i really want to do this degree im lost

[@astrokid9636]

Can i study aerospace engineering after my 12th grade ? I just passed and aced it. Let me know. Another question: can i study aerospace engineering after i complete aeronautical engineering? Are they similar?

[@SA64R]

I'm not familiar with the "grade" system as I'm from the UK and we use years but if grade 12 translates to year 13 in the UK then yes definitely. Aeronautical engineering and aerospace engineering are the same thing, its just some universities prefer one name over the other.

[@gloriaadefila7221]

What if you are a girl and want to become an aeronautical engineer

[@spadez4391]

I am interested in Aerospace engineering , but my physics is bit weak . I am currently in class 12, so now if I make my physics and maths stronger, will it be okay ??

[@SA64R]

Yeh, you should be fine if you work at it and become stronger in those subjects.

[@vishaaaaal]

is it ok like if an under graduate student is weak in math and phy getting into aerospace engineering

[@SA64R]

I'd say it is ok, though the course is very maths and physics heavy in year 1 and 2 so you'd have to put in the time and effort

[@vishaaaaal]

@@SA64R ohh ok

[@arunapatil2581]

Is statistics and probability useful for aerospace engineering

[@SA64R]

I don't really remember using that in the course

[@billybodgit6281]

I'm a sheet metal worker and work/produce complex fabrications to extreme tight tolerances....I didn't go to uni I did an apprenticeship....and I can tell you now that without shop floor experience aerospace engineers don't have a clue, might be good at maths and cad cam but hand's on skills are awful, they ask us how would you do that, but they then get the praise...and of course the bigger money and pat on the backs...

[@onetrickhorse]

I completely get where you're coming from, in fact as an aerospace engineer myself, I have faced some hostility in the past from sheet metal fab, toolmakers, etc because they automatically assume you don't know how things actually work in reality. And for the most part, it is true, I know engineers who have never used a lathe or milling machine in their lives, but I would be careful in generalising, because one day you will come across one who does have that experience, and it can make you seem bitter.

[@billybodgit6281]

@@onetrickhorse unfortunately it's the opposite, working with guys who don't know what they're to makes you bitter...I have worked with guy's who were excellent at there job in the past because they had shop floor experience as well as office... unfortunately bullying bosses didn't see it that way and made them redundant and brought there own guy's in . that's why we now don't win much complicated work now because they don't know how to do them... I love working with people who can do both, only if they know what there doing... otherwise it's like WTF...LOL

[@onetrickhorse]

@@billybodgit6281 Well I must say that's a real shame to hear about your past experiences. I imagine that must be really frustrating to be honest, I can't stand things like that. My father always taught me that you should never ask anyone to do something you wouldn't be able to at least attempt yourself, and to make every effort to understand the process. And if I'm ever confused or don't understand something when talking to the guys on the shop floor, I always come right out and admit it, and ask them to show me so I understand it better, and they never mock me or refuse, they're always happy that I'm taking the time to understand and seek their advice. I also include the shop floor guys in the design processes too, from the start, so they can see what I'm doing and why, and they can tell me early on if I'm proposing something they feel is unrealistic. I learn more that way, they learn more about the design process, and everyone works better as a result. Plus, building a good relationship with the guys on the shop floors has more benefits than being friendly with seniors or execs, because they're the guys who make shit happen, and when I've got a super urgent bit of work I need doing, and I ask them to help me with it, if they've been a part of the design process, they're invested and more willing to help me. And I ALWAYS give credit where it's due too, so their bosses know the great work they've done. It's just the way I think it should be done personally.

[@billybodgit6281]

@@onetrickhorse well done buddy, great to know there's still people like yourself out there willing to learn and also share your skills with fellow worker's...just wish management thought the same way(maybe in some companies they do,just not mine) we have now gone from high complex fabrications and machined components within the aerospace industry down to general fabrications due poor management because all the skilled guys/woman have been made redundant or sacked, only to be replaced with cheep foreign labor on cheap components....sad times 😥

[@onetrickhorse]

@@billybodgit6281 Absolutely, and thank you for the kind words. I always learn something new on the shop floor I have to say, and to be truthful, even though I absolutely love my job, it does get boring staring at a screen all day or having Teams meetings all day. I know what you mean about management, I don't know where they lose that empathy, like were they always like that, or does it just suddenly happen when they rise the ranks? I completely sympathise too about the outsourcing too. I work for a major aircraft engine manufacturer here in the UK (no prizes for guessing which), and I must say, we are losing skills left right and centre, it sometimes scares the hell out of me who they'll let go. Like I find myself saying to myself, "that's the only guy around here who can actually do that thing, and you're letting them go?", and then inevitably when that thing needs doing and there's no one able to do it, we spend 3 times the money in hiring a specialist consultant or whatever, and usually we have to speak carefully to them because of the sensitive nature of the work, so it takes more of my time too. But that's what happens when the accountants have too much power and don't take the time to actually learn why things are the way they are. One day it will haunt us all though, just look at Boeing. Us engineers need to be listened to and taken seriously more often, after all, we'd still be stuck in caves without us! You seem like a good guy I have to say, and try to stay positive, don't let the b*****ds grind you down!

[@notAgameR3S]

hello i need to ask that will universities accept me for aerospace program if i didnt take chemistry in high school. I studied A levels by the way.

[@robbieallen2923]

The only engineering degree that will probably demand chemistry is chemical engineering. Every other degree you will be fine, including aerospace. Most engineers did not do chemistry A-Level.
