>>3 Agree, but they are (obviously) very selective so I have to learn the most and best possible before the cv time. I think I could make connection with them when I'll join the Aerospace Engineering academic course, now I'm in Economics (and I plan to make a thesis related to it) so I think I can't do it very well.
>>2 The concept seems interesting, the code is a little *mybrainisfulloffuck.jpg*, but maybe it's just because I'm accustomed with other languages.

Ada. C. Matlab. C++. Java. Not in that order. Maybe even Fortran.
You will be living and working amongst manly men who don't eat quiche or understand women's rights. You will never be able to apply any functional programming skills, so just ignore the language zealots and think like an engineer.

Most serious people on /prog/ like it, but after last year we had a lot of trolls coming here, mostly from the imageboards (such as /g/ and /b/) who hate anything that isn't C-like and feel offended when they see anything they don't understand.

Wait a minute—I just realised. This thread has gotten to like ten posts without a spam flood or obvious fake trolling. Are there really ≥4 legitimate posters on here? 'cause this is crazy.
Everyone calm down. We all know that the only people on /prog/ are you, me, and the sussman trolling each other in an endless loop. Perhaps the sussman is trolling you and me by pretending to make a "real" thread on /prog/.

Also, welcome to /prog/, sage is considered polite, use it whenever you can (if you're giving a serious answer to >>1, you're encouraged to bump the thread, though), noko does nothing on the textboards.

This seems about right.
However, you might end up using some crazy off the wall shit depending on where you work because engineers are eccentric fags.
Not to be a downer, but in all likelihood, you'll end up dicking around with systems of linear equations or differential equations in MATLAB or Maple, along with writing throwaway code in C++ or Java (because it's the only thing you learned in school). Of course, no one is stopping you from learning more than this.
This is all assuming, however, that you mean something like Aerospace Engineering. I'm not an Aerospace Engineer, but the answer I've given has held for just about every other engineering field I've observed that isn't directly linked to computers.
If you're just a general programmer/IT contractor in the AS industry, I have no idea, and you need to be more specific.
