Education and Career Forum

Hello Sir/Madam,
Iam a Civil Engineer and have keen interest in becoming an astronaut.
Please suggest me channels through which I can become an astronaut.
Vinay Anand.

Hello,

As far as i know, Civil Engg has no relation with becoming an astronaut. It is a totally different field.
If you wanted to become an astronaut, you should have decided about it a long time at the time choosing your career. But now, i think it is too late for that career.

However, dont get disheartened.I recommend you to look for a job in civil engg.. you can try fr a govt. job as there is a lot of of civil engineers in the public sector.
India being a developing, demand for civil engineers is constantly growing.

Best OF Luck..!!

Dear friend
As such there is no frequent recruitment for civil engineers in ISRO.
However, There could a vacancy for civil engineers, but currently there is no some.
Thank You

hello friend,

to become an astronaut

just come across this website i think you may get some ideas

http://www.ehow.com/how_7974_become-astronaut.html

all the very best dude..@@

Dear there is very vast difference b/w astronaut & civil engineer
if u haven't complete your graduation then go for B.tech in astronomy
if u are pursuing your civil engineering then go with your destiny

All d best

I wonder why you want such a sudden shift. Anyways i think that for astronaut you must have a background in aeronautical engineering. Its not a criteria but its good to have a degree in AE which will help you to get into NASA

I have never heard about a civil engineer becoming an astronaut But yeah i have even hear that pilots can become astronauts too.

So its possible to become one but its extremely tough to do so.

You can check this link given below which gives out the points on how astronauts get recruited

dear brother
i wish you to become in indian history of astronauts.
please read the following article

Usually professionals with background that is physics and mathematics disciplines are nominated for the selection process. As per your career aspirations seem around the field of space science, the following are some of the courses you can opt for:

Department of Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore offers ME in Aerospace Engineering. The eligibility criterion is BE/ B. Tech or equivalent degree in Aeronautical (AE), Mechanical (ME), Civil (CE), Chemical (CH), Electrical (EE), Electronics or Communication (EC) engineering or B. Sc or equivalent degree followed by AMAeSI (AE), AMIE (CE, CH, ME, EE or EC), AMIChE (CH), Graduate examinations of IETE (EC). The admission is based on GATE score. The institute offers Ph.D in Aerospace Engineering also. The eligibility criterion is www.aero.iisc.ernet.in
All the best

dear friend

i cant understand ,why you want become an astronaut after done civil engineering...friend there are no relation between both of them..

so make career in civil engineering..

good luck

I think it will best in any proportion and thought,as well in every thought and work ,its best to do with the best of knowledge.
as you have already done engg. in civil, nasa is very fine choice for astronaut

Dear friend,

These two careers are far different from one another.

To be an astronaut you must have dealt with physics or related subjects or even get degree in aeronautical/aerospace engg.

You should have thought of it at the time when you were starting your career after 12th.

Now with the thought of becoming an astronaut,you have to again start from the very beginning which is impossible thing.

I would like to suggest you to take up further higher studies in civil engg,you can go for M.Tech or even can do MBA in construction management.

So don't look backward now,just go forward with what you have achieved..

All the best!

dear frnd,

yes you can.

but for it you have to join NASA or ISRO.

ISRO publish vacancies in employment news.

FOR NASA you have to go USA.

all the best.

I suggest you get started on building your spaceship

In simple words it is not possible

There is some opportunity for the civil engineer to become a astronout but it is better to choose the path which is related to your degree which leads to bright future.

a civil engineer can not become an astronaut. civil engg. and astronaut are entirely different fields. for becoming an astronaut you should have taken aeronautical engg, as your stream in btech. so you must try for any other job.
good luck

hi,
Don't worry friend you will get job in nasa through civil.
though particularly you need to study aeronautics engg. in mtech.

umm yu can .... bt opt for aeronautics or aerospace n get ur Masters n all th best dude :)

first of all i would lik to reply why not???????
u can become......
1.if u completed (be degree) in civil,,,
2.thn take up gate exam
3.in iit they are offering aerospace courses even for civil and mech
4.only these two branches can take up aerospace(aerodynamics and aerospace structure)
so after tat u can become but be sure tat first two semesters going 2 be very hard...so tat u can cope up with others those who hav background of aero or mech

alll the best.....friend......

civil engineering is a totally different field and astronaut is different . so there are no any kind of connection between these two . so i am sorry but you cant go for being an astronaut . so focus on your studies and and look for better job in your subjects . hard luck

AM A STUDENT PERSUING BTECH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, AM I ELIGIBLE FOR GATE EXAM FOR MTECH AEROSPACE TO BECOME AN ASTRONAUT.PLEASE SHOW ME THE WAY

A sivil engineer can not became an astronaut. Thise two fields are totali different.
You have one way to become an astronaut . If you start again from the very beginning. It is impossible for you.

It will be best for you , go for higer stady like M-Tech or even can MBA.

If you not intrested in higher study than you can try for a govt.job or public sector as a civil engineer.

Hello sir/madam
I am Srinivas. I am doing my b.tech in civil engineering. If i manage to get M.sc in physics through correspondence course in any university, will get any opportunity to work for ISRO and any other research institutes?

Thanks

I am doing computer engineering, i am very much interested to become an astronaut , can i become an astronut

i am chemical engineer student, what should i do to become aeronautical/aerospace engineer? is there possibility to do mtech in aerospace and in which universities?

I would say yes to that one Christer Fuglesang was a civil engineer before he became an astronaut

I am studying in civil engineering.How can I work in nasa?

AS Far as I know, Civil Engineers are not eligible for the Post of Astronauts.

TO Become an Astronaut, you need to have Maths And Physics as the main subject. YOu are required to complete your Phd in the same and after completing your Phd, you need to apply for the post of Astronaut by taking the exam conducted by NASA or ISRO.

A Person with a graduate degree in Aerospace engineer is also Eligible TO Apply after completing its Phd.

So I Would suggest you to look further the stream related to your branch.

ALl The Best

Please help me for becoming an astronaut by civil engg in detail everything

Can I try for astronaut after Civil engineering
