Tough but Rewarding Freshman Year

As an Aerospace Engineering student, the curriculum is designed to be very difficult in order to simulate real-world experiences. The first semester Aerospace Engineering class is supposed to be very difficult, so students understand what is expected as they continue their studies and in the workforce. Many students switch majors during the first two semesters; but it is better to switch in your freshman year than to realize what you really want to do in your sophomore year or later. The Aerospace Engineering teachers are really great. They are very personable and available. They work with students closely and respond promptly to emails. They also are funny at times, and work hard to make the class interesting and relevant.

Overall, the freshman year in the Aerospace Engineering program at Iowa State requires a lot of work, but is definitely worth it in the end.
