In real life, professionals have to study on their own to stay current. I see no reason why somebody who already had a BS in Physics from a good school could not pick up rocket science from books and talking to rocket scientists.
Concur. Physics gives you a fundamental grounding in just about everything, well, physical, outside of Chemistry/Biochem. And I’m not a Physics major.
Exactly. Rocket science is just applied physics. With that grounding and rocketry text would be pretty clear and understandable. At least enough for a manager/owner. It is not like his designing a combustion chamber himself.
A good engineering (and most sciences) degree just gives you the ability to learn more. With my ME degree I am confident if I had that needs that I could grab some rocket science books and learn enough. Heck I probably already know 80% of what would be in them.
