Angel AddedSaturday, April 23, 2022 at 2:41 AM Can I study mechanic engineering and then continue in aerospace ? Basically I can't afford a private school and all the free public schools in my city don't offer aerospace. I planned on getting my associates in mechanical engineering since it was free, save up more money then study aerospace engineering. I just don't want to waste my time, so is this plan possible or will I end up in school for more years ?

Take advantage of any AE electives in the ME program and try to find an internship w/ a company in the aerospace industry. MEs are frequently hired by aerospace companies. ME students are great candidates for graduate school in AE. You may need to take a couple of AE undergraduate courses to fill in any gaps that might be missing.
