Can I work in astronomy if I graduate in mechanical or computer engineering?
Can I work in astronomy if I graduate in mechanical or computer engineering? Can I do a post-graduation degree or major in astronomy after doing mechanical or computer engineering? Can I get a job which involves space? All help will be highly appreciated!
Answer: Yes on both counts. My B.S is in computer engineering and I've been in the space industry for over 8 years. There are plenty of mechanical engineers in the space industry as well (same basic education as an aeronautical/aerospace engineer, but not as much focus on fluid dynamics and coordinate reference systems).
