What degree program for aircraft design?

Blaine Connett: For aircraft design, it is Engineering at ALL levels (preferably PhD), or a doctorat in Polytechnics, completed by a specialisation in aeronautics.If you only want the electrics' part, simple engineering in electricity/electronic (degree, at least), will suffice.If you want programming, that is "computer science" at any good University. (But this will not necessarely lead you to aircrafts).It will be the opportunities that you help your carrier, like a recruitment of "engineers" at British Airways or Boing....Show more

Kirk Coolbeth: A few options come to mind: Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering. While there are others, these would be my first choices. I chose Aerospace Engineering and later took master's level courses in electrical engineering to further my knowledge. Materials Engineering and Mechanical Engineering are good with all of the composites that are being used in aircraft design. Computer Engine! ering can also be a good precursor to programming. But, many programmers I know started with electrical engineering....Show more

Valentine Michaud: Your degree should be in engineering, and you should become a Registered Professional Engineer. There are sub-catagories in engineering, such as mechanical, electrical, and civil. As to schools, I suggest you speak with some engineers!
