The Job Outlook For Aerospace Engineering Students
ningcontentFor college students interested in a career in the aerospace engineering field, there is both good and bad news on the horizon. The bad news is that the demand for aerospace engineers is expected to decline over the next few years due to competition from engineering firms in foreign countries and the decrease in dependence upon air travel. The good news is that many college students are only listening to the bad news and avoiding this field of study to the point that there may be a shortage of available aerospace engineering graduates to fill these entry level jobs when they become available. This means that today’s college students will have less competition for these high paid entry level jobs after graduation and may actually find themselves being actively recruited for positions with major aerospace engineering firms to fill positions that are being vacated by retiring aerospace engineering employees.
Aerospace engineering students may expect to find jobs in their fields designing aircraft or working in the astronautic engineering field designing the vehicles used in space exploration. Additional work may be found in military applications designing missiles and other ballistic products for the defense department.
In addition to entry level jobs in the fields of aerospace engineering and astronautic engineering, the two realms which have been the classic domain of aerospace engineering students, there are anticipated entry level job openings in fields not traditionally associated with this career path including new jobs in the automotive design industry. These entry level jobs are expected to open as the demand for more aerodynamically designed vehicles rises.
