<p>So, whats the difference?</p>
<p>i don’t think there is one…just different names at different colleges</p>
<p>Aerospace engineering broadly deals with objects that must be aerodynamically optimized/designed. This could even be a new, more efficient bullet for the government. Within aerospace engineering, there are two main branches: aeronautical and astronautical. As you could imagine, aeronautical engineering mainly deals with objects that travel along trajectories within the Earth’s atmosphere. Astronautical engineering mainly deals with objects that transcend Earth’s atmosphere (satellites, spaceships, propulsion systems, etc.).</p>
<p>Hello,
I am a Junior at the University of Florida. I am an undergraduate student currently majoring in Aerospace Engineering and am hoping to double major in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. I currently have a 3.10 GPA and this may go down to 3.00 GPA by the end of the semester.
My Questions:
-Is a 3.0 GPA at UF good for Aerospace Engineering students?
-With my current GPA, what are my chances of getting a summer internship?
-If I were to graduate with at least a 3.0 (and get decent GRE scores because I am not a good test taker) could I get into a good graduate school program? If so can you give me a list of schools to consider.</p>
<p>If you have to be harsh in your answers then please do so. I really need the truth because I am nervous about my future.</p>
<p>Have you visited the Boeing web site? They have several summer engineer internships available. They are looking for juniors and the minimum GPA requirement is 3.0.</p>
