<p>I've read these forums for a few months now, and I have yet to find anyone asking about Aerospace engineering at UT. How selective is it? ...compared to electrical, biomed, etc. Is there a reason for not many people applying for it? Is it a dead major or something? I'm just very confused right now. I mean, it seems like a cool major. I would just expect more people to be interested in it.</p>
<p>It’s one of the easier engineering majors to gain acceptance to and tends to be less popular because aerospace engineering is a very specialized field with limited job prospects, unlike mechanical engineering which is similar but more versatile. Then again, many aerospace students feel like they’re living out a childhood dream in designing airplanes/spaceships, so the poorer job market does not phase them.</p>
