● Entry level aerospace engineers need a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering from an ABET accredited university(Bls.gov)

● some universities have 5

Skills needed Aerospace engineers work on designing and maintaining air and spacecraft. They need the following skills to be effective at their job.

● Team collaboration,An air or spacecraft is never built by one person, an aerospace engineer must be able to work in teams to Create these complex designs

● Leadership skills,Many aerospace engineers are employed in the building of air and spacecraft. this requires being able to efficiently manage groups of people.

Best Programs● The current best Aerospace

engineering program is at Stanford university

● Tied for second are Georgia Institute of Technology and

year programs which offer both bachelor's and master's degrees

Job OutlookAerospace engineering jobs are expected to decline by 2% by 2024.● This is due to declining

factory jobs● However, aerospace

engineers will always be needed to design and maintain aircraftSample job
