HELLO HEIKO,
I AM JUST ENTERING IN B.E. COURSES IN INDIA. I HAVE A interest IN DESIGNING PLANES AND OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO AEROPLANES. IF I WANT TO PURSUE CAREER IN SUCH FIELD WHAT SHOULD I STUDY {AS PER INTERNATIONAL DEMANDS}.

Answer -
Hi there,

Thank you for your question.
If your university has courses related to aviation like, Aerodynamics, Stress analysis, Thermodynamic etc. that would be helpfull because all these things have to be studied. Here in the USA we have a Bachelors (4 year) degree program specifically designed for the purpose of becomming an airplane designer and it is called a B.S. in Aeronautical Engineering. This 4 year degree includes everything you need to pursue. Go to www.erau.com and look around. This website is from the Embry Riddle University and will give you all the courses that are needed to complete your degree.

I hope this helps,

Answer
Hi there again,

You can pursue your degree in Avionics and still be considered for your dream of becoming a designer. The degree matters only in the sense that you have to have one to advance your career but as long as you are studying a related field (avionics is related to aviation) your doors are wide open!

Good Luck,
