Comment by TheSheriff on "Do you think it is bad idea that I do a postgraduate degree in Computer Engineering and master and doctorate degrees in Aerospace Engineering?"

A masters in computer engineering would be fine, given the bachelors you're completing.

Good luck for the PHD though :). I did aerospace for masters, wanted to do a phd but changed my mind at the last minute. What discipline/area of study were you thinking of for it?

Any aerospace specific questions? :)

Also, what country are you in for all this?

What discipline/area of study were you thinking of for it?

Programming and engineering developments and problems related to aerospace engineering, for example, CFD or autopilot developments.

Any aerospace specific questions?

Yes, I do not know if some aerospace and space program and research agencies still use FORTAN and CLIP, which are my favourite programming languages, or they replaced for python.

I want to know if I can work in more than two areas of aerospace engineering as working with CFD and autopilot developments and problems and with contributing to the development and evolution of spaceships and warp (I do not know if it is exactly warp or wrap (?)).

Also, what country are you in for all this?

Brazil. I think Brazil and USA have different education degrees. In your country, is Brazil postgraduate USA's master's degree?

CFD is fun. I really enjoyed it.

You may be able to find a couple of universities that use FOTRAN but at least in the UK the main language used in academic institutes is python.

Most of the time you would be given/pick a single topic and focus on that. Usuaully due to the complexity and depth required to do meaningful research. Otherwise you'd be spread to thin. This is not to say you couldn't research and play around in your spare time. :).

Not sure what you mean by warp/wrap, unless you mean fast than light travel? - I didn't do the space aspect of aerospace - it looked fun but didn't offer a good choice of jobs.

Different countries will have different research centres and different processes but it should all roughly be the same.

Can I know the name of these academic institutes?

Is it bad idea choose CFD as a topic of term paper (‘finals’) of computer science that I am going to do this year for getting graduated?

Yes, but I want to apply it only for space probes (robotic spacecrafts).
Can you explain why these jobs are not good?
