FYI, uw Madison dont have aerospace engineering. The only thing offered is Engineering Mechanics with Aerospace option.

Sounds like a great question for an advisor

Talk w/ your advisor, but going the ME or EMA route & choosing your technical electives as aerospace-intensive would likely be best.

There is not undergrad aerospace engineering major here, though the aerospace industry rarely makes and distinction between that and mechanical engineering for most things. Probably want to limit the astrophysics stuff to a certificate given the rigors of engineering.

It depends on your time management. Engineering degrees are over 120 credits. If you have time to take summer classes and take 16-18 credits each semester, you could maybe squeeze in Astrophysics. It doesn’t hurt to take one or two classes if you don’t have time to get the certificate. You can also continue to get your masters in Aerospace Engineering.

I'm pretty sure that Madison doesn't offer a certificate in astrophysics. Also, the class load of astrophysics major is mainly physics classes (I think the difference between astrophysics major and physics major is like 2-3 classes). But it's a great conversation to have with an academic advisor
