PositiveCareers & next steps

Aerospace engineering is a challenging major but with high reward. USC especially offers lots of opportunities for students to gain experience in engineering outside of classes that set you up for success. Once you get used to the workload the major becomes more manageable. Overall I would recommend if you are genuinely interested in the aerospace industry and are willing to take on the workload between classes/design teams.
