Question
Hi,
I earned my Bachelors in Electrical & Electronics
Engineering in June,2009.
I was planning to pursue a Masters in Aeronautical &
Aerospace Engineering. So as I was surfing to know more
about this branch of engineering, and thats when I happened
to see your profile.

I've three doubts:-
1. Is there any scope for an Electrical & Electronics
Engineer to pursue a Masters in Aeronautical & Aerospace
Engineering? Because I've noticed most Mechanical
Engineering pursue a Masters in Aeronautical & Aerospace
Engineering.

2.Which are some of the best colleges to do a Masters in
Aeronautical & Aerospace Engineering?

3.Are there any factors to be know for choosing a college
which offers Aeronautical & Aerospace Engineering?

Answer
All graduate programs in Aero Engineering that I am aware of require a Bachelor degree in Aero or Mechanical Engineering or similar.  EE is not similar.  But I don't know all the programs.  You will have to search to see if there is one that would accept a EE.
