Aerospace engineering in UVa ?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Virginia

<p>Heya everybody!</p>

<p>I'm a Hong Kong student who is accepted into UVa for freshmen admission 2005 under the engineering school, where I plan to major in aerospace engineering. I am now deciding between UVa and Imperial college in the UK, where then I would major in aeronautical engineering. Here I would just like to ask about the engineering department in UVa, and how their aerospace engineering program is like, as I haven't really heard about how engineering is like in UVa. And if anyone of you know anything about Imperial college or UK education in general, would you also please kindly leave a comment too about this??</p>

<p>Your comments would be very very helpful as I am desperately trying to decide between the two!!! Thanks~~</p>

<p>bump, also would like to know how uva's aerospace engineering program is</p>

<p>when i went to the engineering open house at UVA a month or 2 ago someone that i spoke to said that aerospace engineering at the school was going downhill and didnt suggest that i major in it there. But dont go by what i say, research it for yourself. The school's website is usually very helpful.</p>

<p>aerospace in UVA is soso i suppose, imperial has a strong engineering program</p>

<p>Buzzy, i know an aerospace engineer. If you would like, i can talk to him and ask him to send you an e-mail. He'd be happy, cause he's always trying to get people to become engineers. he's tried to recruit me a few times.</p>

<p>yea I do really want to know your friend and about what he says of the aerospace department. could u give me his e-mail, or any other ways of contact? </p>

<p>Thanks:)</p>

<p>Imperial is best, but it's very focused, and you need good preparation</p>

<p>Sorry, this is late (maybe too late). The guy didn't want to give out his e-mail address, but he suggested that you e-mail this guy.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.mae.virginia.edu/faculty/index.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.mae.virginia.edu/faculty/index.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>He's one of the lead aerospace engineers in charge of undergraduates.</p>

<p>thanks:)
anyways, which guy on the list does your friend refer to? of should i just send it to the general e-mail of the department?</p>

<p>oh yea, by the way, if your friend don't mind, you could also ask him to contact me through <a href="mailto:buzzyhaha@hotmail.com">buzzyhaha@hotmail.com</a>.</p>

<p>Whoops, didn't realize that the engineering site was set up that way. The guy is Houston G. Wood. </p>

<p>I asked the guy about it, and he really didn't want to talk about it, even when pressed, so i'm not gonna bring up the issue again. Sorry bout that.</p>

<p>that's ok, thanks for the help anyways:)</p>
