Just how can an application engineer pursue a diploma in astronomy?

Career Options and Opportunities – You may be a future Astronomy-Physics major or an Astronomy-Physics major considering your job options. What can you do with an Astronomy-Physics Bachelor’s degree?

Stellar Careers Workshop: A Board of Visitors & Astronomy Dept. Collaboration. Focus: Career Paths and Strategies for Astronomy-Physics Majors, Undergraduate and Graduate. -Directly after event: Attend the L&S STEM Career Fair -Astronomy Grad Students will hold a follow-up event: Graduate School in Astronomy: How To Successfully Apply And What To Expect.

I’ve been doing these posts long enough to start getting questions, today I’ll take one about where to start searching. There are several good websites I’ll go over in this stream:


Pathways to Engineering

Students interested in a career in engineering have multiple pathways to pursue. Any of these options prepare students for future study in engineering at either an undergraduate or graduate level. Ultimately the best path is dependent on the individual student and their interests and goals. At Appalachian, the smaller class sizes and more personal attention faculty can provide our students is often the starting path to engineering that is attractive to students. Here are four possible options to help students navigate these choices:

The department encourages students who’re a new comer to Appalachian or a new comer to college coursework to consider under 15 hrs their first couple of semesters. Physics majors taking 15+ hrs of coursework which includes Physics I along with a math course are frequently less effective as students taking 12-13 hrs.

  • Suggested Course Notes:
  • Physics Courses
  • General Education Courses
  • Other Programs of Interest:

CURRICULUM

CURRICULUMPhysics is a comprehensive and rigorous program offered as a major and minor. Through its study, you’ll learn to think critically, to become rigorously grounded in fundamental scientific principles and to apply both disciplined and creative habits of inquiry to your work. You’ll gain skills in analytical thinking, problem-solving, quantitative reasoning and communication. Baldwin Wallace offers two types of degrees for physics majors:Bachelor of Arts degreeBachelor of Science degreeThe B.A. physics program is for students who want to double-major in physics and another area and probably won’t pursue a career in physics. It allows maximum flexibility for students to pursue their interest in physics or astronomy and combine it with other academic interests – history, philosophy, music or another discipline. The B.S. physics program is for students who plan a career in physics or a related field such as mathematics or engineering. BW graduates of this program can enter the workforce directly in the areas of physics, technology, engineering or other science-related jobs.


Video advice: How To Get A Job In Astronomy

Throughout my time as a science communicator, the subject of how to get a job in astronomy and what it’s like to work as an astronomer are two themes that keep coming back.
