How to Become an Aerospace Engineer | Aerospace Engineer Explains

The tip to go to a state college or community college first is gold - it makes a lot of sense to knock out the math/science prerequisites there!

Even before deciding to major in Aerospace Engineering, community college was the first thing I tackled. I'm so elated to hear this being a major step.

Hey this is a great video! I actually graduated with my bachelors the same year you did, and masters a year later, both in aerospace engineering, and I have been an aerospace engineer for about a year now. I completely agree with all the tips you gave. Not everyone is going to be able to follow all of them, but those tips will certainly equip you with everything you need to eventually land that dream engineering job.

Absolutely fantastic video. My son is 14 and sent me this video to watch. He knows with every fiber of his being that this is his career path. When the pandemic hit and we were all quarantined to our homes, instead of him playing video games, he found space videos, Elon Musk videos, aerospace anything and everything to do with learning physics… as a mother I am just blown away by his knowledge and listening to him talk with such passion. Thank you for putting this video together. It was extremely informative and I will certainly be referencing back to it in the future and possibly contacting you when the time comes when Nathan is ready to take his courses.

That document looks super helpful! Thanks for the great advice. I've gone the Mechanical Engineering route like you mentioned and joined all the good project clubs I could. Unfortunately, a lot of the career fairs you mentioned are canceled or only online this past year, but hopefully they'll open back up soon. Thanks for the advice on study groups. I have a few, but schedules are a pain to work out. I'll definitely try to find more. Thanks!

Great video as always! Not many people are open about some of these topics because it is uncomfortable to discuss. Thank you for sharing your opinions and insight.

Thanks for spreading this knowledge. Helping a lot of ppl, including myself. Appreciate u

Love this video, thanks for sharing your experience. Starting my AE degree this fall at 28yo with the best mindset I've ever had. Can't wait!

Great video!! I love all of these suggestions/wisdom!

I went to Community college for one year, got a 4.0 GPA, now I'm attending USC. I did literally all my math and physics there and got all A's, calc I thru linear alg and diff eq.

I’m ahead of the game watching this going into high school :D

Thanks a lot for your nice advices 💯🖐🏻

Great video! Two thumbs up.

i was so bummed that i couldn’t go straight from hs to an aerospace major(grades didn’t reflect), so i’m doing an associate degree/bachelor course. thought that would be shit but this has eased my nerves

thanks! this was really helpful.

Thanks you I'm going into high school and thanks to you I have a somewhat plan for my future thank you

starting my Engineering degree at Embry Riddle next month. Thanks for the info!

Very informative video! Thank you

Thank you, this was very informative and useful. I subscribed ✅

Im a sophomore in highschool so I’m prepping for university lmao. I also would like to appreciate all of the memes(espically the Star Wars memes hahaha) I love science but I also love drawing and applying my creativity in a real world situation(like stacking my books in a specific way so they don’t fall over lmao). Thank you for the video it was really helpful!
