I am entering my third year in college, studying mechanical engineering at the University of Michigan. I have good grades (3.58 GPA) and am about to finish an internship for an auto parts company in Michigan. Looking for some advice and how I can help line my self up for a position at place like Boeing or Lockheed or any other major aerospace corporation.
if you’re studying Mechanical engineering, i believe that you’re qualified enough for aerospace engineering. At the university that I’m attending now (UT Arlington) Aerospace & Mechaniocal Engineering Classes go toguether and Both Fields Are 60% similar, the only difference is that Aerospace is more Narower than Mechanical engineering, since Aerospace only focuses on the air and Space stuff. if you want to go to Aerospace, i know that the University of Michigan offer aerospace under ABET so just change your major by going to your advisor and switch departments, since youre in Mechanical, im preety sure that the credit hours are going to transfer over. But you culd also do a double major since youre allready in your third year too, But thats for you to decide.
