这种就很难找到一个直观的衡量了，你可以看看教授都有什么项目、经费来源。最近的会议论文数量应该能看出 ...

噢噢，明白啦！学长给您发个私信，麻烦学长看下～

Aerospace Engineering is not a big community... Try to find out what you really want to do and there must several top professors here in this community...
By the way, study AE without the citizenship is really "DAN TENG"...
Sorry for using English because this computer does not have a Chinese input...

Absolutely.....I've heard about the embarrassing situation AE students are gonna face when seeking interns or even some RA postions (like in GaTech). BTW in those branches like Control/Fluid/Combustion/Design&Optimization, which do you think is a little bit more friendly for international students? Or which is not?
THX~~!!

I would say control and design will be much better than fluid...

I have seen so many people's CV on Linkedin and I found out that the people who study the solid mechanics/Manufacturing can find jobs in the industry easily, as there are lots of positions in car industry and solid structure and oil industry... However if you study fluid and have no citizenship, the only place you can go will be the CFD software companies.... ANd the competition will be very huge....

Yup I see... It definitely would be a hard choice for me. Because deep in my heart I still feel like that I'll enjoy fluid mechanics especially CFD, based on my limited experience of relevant lectures. But I am just not sure whether doing research about it will suit me... It doubtlessly demands a strong background on mathematics, right?

CFD is very interesting, I have some experience on it and currently my research on computational plasma physics can still benefit from CFD.

I would say if you like the CFD, then go for it. You will not regret it if you really like it. I think CFD has lots of branches, and a strong background in Math will definitely help you but it is not a necessary condition. I would say you should focus more on the physics itself and numerical PDE. Strong techniques in the scientific background are also very important. Fluid Mechanics and CFD are the coolest area among all areas in Aerospace Engineering.

You bet! I am attracted by CFD mostly because there’s a lot to do with the flux, vortex, transition, shock waves all that sort of things as well as numerical method, algorithm and even ML, meanwhile the coding skills could be improved and refined. And I believe CFD is more practical than other branches of gas dynamics such as experimental fluid mechanics or combustion. (Is that true?) It really looks like a good choice.
Btw, among GaTech, Umich, Purdue and UIUC, which one do you think does better in this area, or have a larger amount of faculty on it?
Really appreciate a lot for your time!
