<p>Please read before disregarding this strange concept. I have heard of this odd case a few times. </p>
<p>As a civil engineering undergrad student with a focus on structures, is it possible to enroll in the structures and materials department of an aerospace graduate program?</p>
<p>Obviously a civil engineer is not trained in system dynamics, jet propulsion, avionics, etc.</p>
<p>But civil engineers do know more than a few things about composites, fluid mechanics, material and structural behavior, etc. Also, many civil engineers are employed in the aerospace industry for these reasons. More so, if you check the resumes of professors (as well as other faculty members) in an aerospace program, many have degrees strictly relating to civil engineering. I have found this to be the case at Northwestern University and Colorado University. </p>
<p>So to repeat my question, is it possible for a civil engineering undergraduate student to enroll in an aerospace program if his/her focus was exclusively materials and/or structural behavior?</p>
