Brita, Moshi, Tanzania AddedThursday, December 15, 2016 at 6:37 AM I do not know how I can make my dream come true I am really interested in being an aerospace engineer but the problem is I do not know how I can make my dream come true because this course isn't available in our country. Worse is my parents can't afford sending me abroad and are rarely interested on how big my dream is. Sometimes I say maybe it's a mistake maybe I can't handle it but still deep down I feel that is what my heart desires and I am capable. I still pray to God everyday for any opportunity to rise up for me cause in 2018 I will be through with my high school education and I am still uncertain of what the future lies for me. Is there anyway you can advice or help me. You will be blessed Related to Aeronautical/Aerospace , Choosing a Degree, Preparation for College, Unique Challenges Reset Sort By Default Moyra J. McDill , Carleton University Answered Thursday, December 15, 2016 at 6:37 AM Dear Brita from Moshi, Aerospace Engineering is a broad field and there are different ways to train for and work within the field. You may already know what part of aerospace engineering intrigues you; you may not yet know that. Think about a modern aircraft and all the structures, materials, propulsion systems, avionics and computer systems involved! One approach is look first to a degree such as mechanical engineering. Once you have started there you will have several years to learn where your interests lie and to explore distance learning or scholarship opportunities for a master's degree in a branch of aerospace engineering, continued studies in mechanical engineering or a related field such as materials engineering. One possibility could be through a Commonwealth Scholarship (you can Google it) but I'm sure there are others. Big dreams can be achieved one step at a time. Good luck! Moyra McDill PEng, PhD, FCAE
