I am a junior applied physics major/math minor. I recently decided I want to go for a MS in aerospace or astronautical engineering after I graduate. My applied focus is covered by taking some mechanical engineering classes (my school doesn't have an aerospace degree). I was wondering what kind of material I should study on my own before I start graduate school. My last two years look like (excluding non-related classes):
Fall 2014
--------
-Ordinary Differential Equations (emphasis on dynamical systems)
-Electricity And Magnetism I
-Theoretical Mechanics
-Physics Of Condensed Matter
Spring 2015
-----------
-Partial Differential Equations
-Electricity And Magnetism II
-Thermodynamics II
-Fluid Mechanics
-Fluid lab
Fall 2015
--------
-Methods Of Numerical Analysis
-Physical Chemistry I
-Intro to Programming
Spring 2016
-----------
-Atomic and Nuclear Lab
-Heat Transfer
-Energy Lab ( ...to be taken with Heat Transfer. Experiments include Fourier's Law, cooling of fins/rods, determination of free and forced convection heat transfer coefficients, heat exchangers, Stefan Boltzmann Law, surface emission, surface reflection.)
Does this schedule look like it will help and that I won't be completely behind?
Any info or advice will be helpful.
