<p>If one obtains a degree in Electrical Engineering would it be possible to work in the Aerospace industry? That thoughts are the avionics, control system, sensors, power, etc. I would like to work and help get humanity into space and that is what I would like to do as a career. </p>

<p>I would find deisgning and working on space rovers, satellites, Private industry like SpaceX or Planetary Resources. Also on a side note do Electrical Engineers do any work in plasma science, or effects in space.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>

Absolutely yes. Many many do.</p>

<p>

Yes, although mostly at the graduate level, and it depends a bit on the details - there will usually be some kind of connection to actual engineering, and you may be working alongside physicists, mathematicians, nuclear engineers, etc.</p>

<p>Yup. </p>

<p>I went the other way, I did aero engineering and work for an avionics company. I am pretty much the only aero major, everyone else is EE and CS.</p>
