<p>im looking for a Aero-Mechanical Engineering school, which ones are the best?</p>
<p>just wanted to point out that alot of schools do NOT have a separate
Areo program... often, it is PART of the Mechanical Engineering Department...
so be careful if you look at lists of JUST aero departments because you will miss some good programs.</p>
<p>Oh, as a side note... I have had friends who studied aero at MIT... the job market in aero is VERY fickle... they recommend majoring in Mechanical Engineering and taking aero courses as part of your mechanical engineering electives...</p>
<p>Thank you for the info... in that matter which are the best Mechanical Engineering school you would recommend?</p>

<p>I'm biased, but remember that JPL was essentially formed by Caltech Aero graduates. </p>
<p>We don't have a specific aerospace engineering major, but the mechanical engineering option can definitely be tilted in that direction.</p>
