Preparation
To work as an aerospace engineer, you must:

complete a bachelor's degree in engineering;
be curious and detail-oriented;
have strong analytical skills; and
be creative.

Formal Education
Most students prepare for this field by earning a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering. However, you can also prepare for this field by majoring in mechanical engineering. Many four-year colleges and universities offer these programs. Many students need between four and five years to complete their studies.

In a typical engineering program you take courses in math, basic science, introductory engineering, and social science. In the last two years, you specialize in aerospace engineering. Courses include aerospace structures and design, flight mechanics, propulsion, and aerodynamics.

Some two-year colleges have agreements with the engineering departments at four-year schools. These agreements allow you take your first two years of courses at the two-year college. Then you move to the university for the last two years. Some liberal arts schools have similar programs to prepare you for engineering schools.

Work Experience
Internships are usually a part of a four-year degree program. They offer you a chance to apply what you learned in the classroom to a work situation. They also allow you to build skills and make contacts with people in the field. Internships improve your chances of finding a job.

On-the-job Training
New graduates work under the guidance of experienced engineers. In large companies, you may also receive formal classroom training. As you gain knowledge and experience you have greater independence and receive more difficult tasks.
