Hey everyone. Just a quick question . . . . I am a ME major, about to start my second year. I've always been fascinated with space and such, so I'm wanting to minor in Aero/Astro Engineering. The only reason I'm minoring and not majoring in this is because there is not a program in my state that offers a major in AE, so this is my best option (and I really can't afford out of state tuition for a Bachelor's).
Anyways, what I'm wanting to know is what help this minor could realistically provide for me. I have plans for grad school, and I would really like to pursue an AE master's program. I will provide a link at the bottom outlining the required courses for my minor, but will this be enough credits to get me accepted into a master's program? If not, how should I go about getting the required credits?
Also, if grad school is not something that works out for me in the future, what could a minor in AE do for me in the work force? Would it be possible to get hired on as an AE or would I just be considered a ME that knows a little about AE stuff?
Grad school is certainly first in line as far as priorities (after undergrad of course), but I know that sometimes life doesn't go as planned and I was just was wondering where I would stand with that degree.
Thanks in advance for any constructive advice.
