Either or, but Mechanical and Electrical engineers have more profile and work on actual spacecraft design, engineering, and building oversight. Other good degrees are Materiels Engineering, Thermal Engineering, Astrophysics, and Aeronautical Engineering.

It's important to note that most NASA employees aren't necessarily hired right off a resume' or from college. Most engineers in NASA are hired from prior experience with NASA working as at an aerospace contractor. It's also important to note that NASA itself doesn't have that many employees; the major NASA centers are run by civilian contractors, so if NASA is your ultimate goal, start looking at the contractors who service the various NASA centers.

Can an electronics and telecommunication engineer get oppurtunity to work for NASA?

hy, why not? An ETE student is more technically smart from other engineering. An ETE student studied the totality of Electronics ,control systems, settelite and every sector of communication. The telecommunication is modern demand. This demand is gradually increased. At nasa there has already a telecommunication core. A Telecommunication can work also Deep Space Network at nasa or anywhere. So dont be worry about ur subject, ETE is an highly demandable subject.

How is the personal computer evolved?

It has evolved. When the computer you were limited to what you can do. At NASA before man landed on the moon NASA had less then one terrerbite memory and now you can get a 4 terrerbite memory from the electronics store and also you can do anything on the computer now. Now tv is becoming a computer


What kind of field is required to get a job in nasa space center?

It depends entirely on the center, but in general, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering, Thermal/Fluid Dynamics, Physics, Astrophysics, Aeronautical Engineering, etc. are the biggest fields. JPL tends to have more Robotics Engineers as they're the center responsible for deep space probes/robotic missions. It's important to understand that NASA itself doesn't have that many people; all of the NASA centers save for NASA HQ is staffed primarily by contractor personnel (e.g., Lockheed-Martin, Northrop-Grumman, etc.), so if you're looking to work NASA programs, Aerospace Contractors is the place to start. NASA rarely, if ever, hires people without proven track records at other jobs, either in the government or in the Aerospace field. If you're looking to get in, start at a contractor first, then work your way into NASA. The only major exception is if you're a Ph. D in a major field.
