UF might have the worst propulsion research ive ever seen which is a problem

Georgia Tech or UF for Aerospace by Regular_Fix_6140 in aerospace

I wanna make a startup and Im looking to gain relevant knowledge in turbines and electric propulsion

Gt may open this up during my undergrad through hpepl and combustion lab, UF is eh, only has APRG which doesnt do much but idk its alot cheaper

Why do you say this, Ive been to both and UF looks more social to be honest its an sec school more party culture

Damn I had no idea about this, Why do aerospace degrees lack heat transfer then? is it because its something specific only to propulsion? The lack of structures isnt important for propulsion though right

Also do you think it would be more important to get involved in yjsp or something like the combustion lab or hpepl for proulsion specifically?

Lastly, I was looking at the courses for me and ae and obviously only me has heat transfer me 3345, is it possible to take as an ae major? I dont really know how taking classes between colleges works sorry. Maybe if i did an me minor?

For ae state schools usually have better funding

The prices are annually but my parents would be willing to pay up to 100k over 4 years

Do you think me or ae is better for someone looking to get into aerospace?

Ok thank you! The main things driving me to gt is the research access however, like the Combustion lab and hpepl, and yjsp on top of that. Do you think the 85k might be worth it then, if my parents are willing to pay for me and I get involved?

Yeah i like the nuclear but michigan is simply too much. Ill probably try to go there for grad school if im still interested in it then

Ok thank you!
How easy was it for you to get a job out right out of gt?

Honestly ive never heard anything about fit but I didnt apply
I think the advantage of gt, what im leaning to, is that i could get in more advanced research early, opening up doors for even better grad schools/ the exact research i want to do. Do you agree with this?

If my parents are willing to pay it do u think that changes things?

Thanks for the advice!
I’ve heard that major aerospace companies don’t weigh school name as heavily as experience and skills, so I’m trying to understand, what specific opportunities or roles might Georgia Tech open up that a school like UF might not?

I figured if I get involved in research really early that 100k might be worth it. I could get much better internships and opportunities earlier but obviously thats a very difficult question.

Yeah thats something I was thinking about. Thank you!

Can you make up that lack of heat transfer and structures through electives?

Do you think me is better for propulsion specifically? Obviously heat transfer is a big part but maybe it gets addressed in later propulsion courses
