专业介绍
What it’s about?
As an Aeronautical and Astronomical Engineering major, you study the design and development of high-speed transportation vehicles, deep space probes, dirigibles, hang gliders, unmanned aerial vehicles, and space habitats. In addition, you examine the physics of the flow of air, water, and plasma around these vehicles.
是什么?
航空、航天工程主要是设计并开发高速运输工具、外太空探测器、飞船、悬挂式滑行器、无人机和太空站。另外,你要学会检查运输工具周围的气流、水和等离子状况。
Is it for you?
You might like this major if you also like: anything to do with aircraft, or space exploration; model aircraft building; flying; hang gliding; physics; astronomy; science fiction; computer programming; designing things; problem solving, If you instinctively look up when you hear an airplane, you know you have the aerospace bug.
Consider this major if you are good at: attention to detail; creativity; critical reading; leader-ship; math; organizing; quantitative analysis; special thinking/analysis; teamwork…or have…imagination; initiative.
适合你吗?
你可能会喜欢这个专业如果你喜欢:飞行器相关、探索太空、建造飞行模型、飞行、悬挂式滑翔运动、物理、天文学、科幻、计算机编程、设计、解决问题。如果每次有飞机飞过你都会抬头去看,说明你就有航天情节。
你可以考虑这个专业如果你擅长:注重细节、创造力、批判性阅读、领导、数学、组织、定量分析、特殊思考/分析、团队合作或者你拥有想象力和主动性。

就业方向
市场需求量中等,主要职业是航空航天设计工程师。平均薪水远远高于其他工程专业毕业生的水平;外国学生就业受到一定限制,大学学习期间和毕业后到美国军工、国防和政府部门实习、就业较为麻烦,被美国政府或相关的国防部门录用后,仍然还要定期接受“安检”。
