In the U.S. alone only 18 percent to 20 percent of all engineers are female. I want to eventually join the engineering field and help raise those numbers. Specifically I want to become an astronautical engineer also known as an aerospace engineer. Astronautical engineers are a huge benefit to the ever growing interest in space exploration. Although, it is a difficult career to get into I believe I am fully capable of succeeding. Overall, astronautical engineering is extremely important in space age exploration and requires hard work and dedication to succeed. Astronautical and Aerospace engineering is an underrated job that is beneficial for air and space transportation and exploration. A common interest people have as children are becoming

Many subjects are needed to be learned if not mastered for this career. “A bachelor's degree is typically required to start out in aerospace engineering. Students who want to become an aerospace engineer should study physics, chemistry, and higher mathematics, such as trigonometry, algebra, and calculus" ("Career Profiles", Page 1). Although, engineering is primarily based off of mathematics and science, there are plenty of subtopics to learn. Considering my love scientific and mathematical concepts and ideas this career is perfect for me. Depending on what you want to do within astronautical/aerospace engineering it takes varying years of college to get a degree. “A career in aerospace as a scientist or engineer requires four to seven years of college study following high school”(Careers in Aerospace Technology, Page 1). I personally would like to do all seven years of college in a good college such as M.I.T or Embry-Riddle. Both schools are beneficial to aerospace and astronautical engineering fields. With those kinds of colleges on my back it would help with finding good jobs and even hopefully get me into NASA. In Embry Riddle students are introduced to hands on problem thinking to show them real time engineering. “ students are challenged to design solutions from the seminal brainstorming of ideas, refining design, building and troubleshooting, final testing, and ultimately presenting a project. Engineers thrive being immersed in this environment”(Embry Riddle, Page 1). All and all the process of getting a proper degree is difficult and laborious, but worth it in the
