<p>Hi. I am currently a Masters degree student in Mechanical Engineering. I have and will take more classes which are geared towards thermo/fluids but i really want to enter a graduate aerospace/aeronautical program with a concentration in propulsion. I have taken classes such as orbital mechanics, composites, aerodynamics, convection heat transfer, CFD, etc which are related to both aeronautical and aerospace engr but i wanted to know with my last year left in my masters, how can i increase my chances of being better prepared for graduate aero study in propulsion. Propulsion requires some knowledge of statistical mechanics, electromagnetics, and quantum mechanics along with thermo/fluids, the latter i have had significant coursework with. Should i take specialized courses in the graduate chemical engr or physics departments for statistical mechanics, electromagnetics, and quantum mechanics? Also i will begin my thesis this year and will focus in the same concentration. I may not go for the aero engr masters right after my mechanical engr masters but i wanted to prepare now. While it may seem redundant since both fields are very similar, i have always been very interested in aero related topics and would love to specialize in it. </p>
<p>Thankyou
