<p>Does Umich grad have good connections with Lockheed?</p>
<p>The University of Michigan has very strong ties with Lockheed Martin. In fact, Lockeed Martin hired 16 Michigan engineers last year alone, making it the largest employer at the CoE. And that was not a one-off. Lockheed Martin hired 8 Michigan Engineers in 2005, 12 in 2003 and another 12 in 2002. So in the last 4 years, Lockheed Martin hired 50 Michigan engineers. As you can also see, in those 4 years, Boeing also hired 50, as did Northrop Grumman. Raytheon and NASA also hired a substantial number of Michigan engineers. Altogether, as I mentioned above, the "big boys" hire roughly 50 Engineers from Michigan on an annual basis. </p>

<p>Thanks for the information. Do you happen to have PSU's [grad & undergrad] placement rate in these "big boys"? I have been looking online all week of statistics, but did not find any. Maybe you have something?</p>
<p>I would assume that PSU is well recruited by the likes of Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. The answer to the 4th question actually names Lockheed Martin as one of the options PSU engineering grads pursue upon graduation.</p>

<p>However, PSU does not seem to release exact numbers.</p>
<p>Anyone ever heard of Kettering University in Michigan? I heard that its a pretty good school, small, and that graduates there have no problems getting jobs. Its purely technical school I think, however I dont think they offer AE. :( Your thoughts?</p>
<p>Kettering used to be known as GMI (General Motors Institute). As the name would suggest, it was primarily a technical institute designed to train and prepare people for GM. Until this day, the institute remains primarily committed to training students for the automotive industry.</p>
<p>No one will probably agree with me on this one but University of Alabama-Huntsville. they do not have a true aerospace degree but they have a mechanical with a concentration of aerospace. I know several people with jobs in NASA. We are located right across the street from Marshall test flight center and across from Lockheed also we have the second largest research park in the nation. there is one school no one knows about.</p>
<p>hi dariusz
have you found any suggestion to your request. i too have the same request to discuss. if you have found your answer then plz guide me .</p>
<p>i don't think dariusz still does CC. the last time he posted was two years ago...this exact topic.</p>
<p>grissij, UAH actually does have a true aerospace degree under the current catalog. they received their accreditation within the last couple of years. i've mentioned it a couple of times and it's great if you want to work for NASA. actually, that's the whole reason i'm there. however, i have my reservations about some things that are going on there right now.</p>
<p>All I've wanted to do for years and years is work for NASA and I'm looking at UF, UCF, ERAU, and FIT. I was wondering which of these NASA would be most likely to hire me from completeing there program.</p>
<p>Purdue seems like the right choice</p>
<p>I was wondering how is aerospace engineering at Texas A&M.</p>
<p>The navy sends the most ppl to the space program… if you want to go that route. </p>
<p>Embry-Riddle is probly the top college non-nerds can get into.</p>
<p>1st tier: MIT, Caltech, Georgia Tech, Stanford
2st tier: UMich, Purdue, Maryland, UCLA
3st tier: UIUC, Penn State, TAMU, UT-Austin, UCSD
4st tier: …</p>
<p>Raymond, Michigan’s Aerospace department is ranked #3 at the undergraduate level and #4 at the graduate level. How can it be tier two?</p>
<p>Anyone know of any NYC schools with Aerospace? </p>
<p>The only one I found was NYU Poly.</p>
<p>How does Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) compare in its aeronautics programs?</p>
<p>what r the best schools in graduates in aerospace engineering in USA???
i want to know what are the colleges in this field, the tuition fee is < 7000$</p>
<p>NYU Poly is not for Aero. Its only a concentration in ME. I think a bigger campus like Purdue would suit better.</p>
