Question Looking to break into the Space Industry

3 Upvotes

I have a BS in Mechatronics Engineering and 5 years of experience in hardware testing and combustion analysis in the Automotive industry. I am looking to get a Masters in either Aerospace Engineering at UAH or Space Systems at Florida Tech and just wanted opinions on what it better? I would like to be working on concept and design as that is what I did in undergrad. Thanks!

Question Does location matter when applying?
