<p>Hi all.
At the moment i am prepering for SAT exams, and trying to figure out what college to apply for.
I want to study undergraduate in aerospace engeneering and perfectly get a job in the US to get experience and persue my dreams, blah blah..</p>
<p>I was thinking of University of Texas at Austin or MIT??? or any other suggestions for my degree (aerospace engeneering)</p>
<p>Is it possible to find a job after studies
Am i going to be able to work while studying? on holidays?
How much time is spent for actual lectures lessons e.t.c? hwo much time should be spent self studying? </p>
<p>According to US News Rankings for Aerospace Engineering, the best are:</p>
<p>1 Massachusetts Institute of Technology
2 Georgia Institute of Technology
3 University of Michigan–Ann Arbor
4 Purdue University–West Lafayette
5 California Institute of Technology
6 University of Maryland–College Park
7 University of Illinois–Urbana-Champaign
8 Stanford University
9 University of Texas–Austin
10 Virginia Tech</p>
<p>Now, rankings aren’t always exact but they are a good starting guideline, you should research more about the topic.</p>
<p>Regarding job prospects, it is generally considered extremely hard to get a job in the US if you are an international student. It would also help to know what’s your goal with Aerospace Engineering, because the US is very strict when it comes to letting foreigners touch their planes, especially government/military ones.</p>
<p>Andrewheat makes a good point about job prospects. Talk to an expert in the field and find out how many aerospace engineering jobs in the US or overseas do not require a security clearance (which foreigners are not eligible for). The big civil aircraft manufacturing companies (including Boeing and EADS) make a bulk of their revenue from military contracting, and the military aviation industry (e.g. Lockheed Martin) does not hire foreigners at all.</p>
<p>You could, for example, contact some of the aerospace engineering departments you consider applying to. They should be able to tell you what their international students do after graduation and if (or to what extend) the students are having a hard time finding relevant employment in the States.</p>
