Question
What are the requirements for becoming an aeronautical engineer?  

Answer
A B.S. degree and, in some cases, an M.S. degree in Aeronautical Engineering (sometimes called Aerospace Engineering) or a related field such as Mechanical Engineering with emphasis on fluid mechanics.  The degrees have to come from a certified engineering school at the university level and usually take 4 to 5 years for a Bachelor's degree and 1 to 2 years for a Masters.
