Aerospace engineering

Helicopters. Quadcopters. They all have to do with aerospace engineering. The first quadcopter was made in 2008 (Brain,2015). Aerospace engineering is a great career pathway for people who enjoy spacecraft and aircraft. Some questions people have about aerospace engineering are; “What is aerospace engineering? How can you become an aerospace engineer? What are a couple good colleges to go to for aerospace engineering? Why do people want to become aerospace engineers?” All of these questions will…

Neil Armstrong walked on the Earth's natural satellite almost 50 years ago on July 20, 1969, with the assistance of aerospace engineers (Dunbar). Now it is time to “boldly go where no man has gone before.” Aerospace engineering has enabled men and women to complete the imaginable. This career consists of two overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. Aeronautical engineers work with the principles of physics of aircraft within the Earth’s atmosphere. While…

experiences, and training in order to ensure a career plan is realistic (Burack & Mathys, p.7, 1979). I have developed a number of skills both academically and through work experience which can be leveraged in my career. My hard skills include engineering, coding, operating air defense systems, planning defense designs, military operational understanding, and conducting procedural management of airspace. My soft skills include public speaking, coaching, critical thinking, group facilitation,…

ing-vets.html 1. Aerospace Engineers Aerospace engineers are mechanics, technicians and consultants. They strive to create a high functioning equipment and systems through collaborative environments. Aerospace engineers usually are members of interdisciplinary teams that focus on quality, safety and innovation. For example, an aerospace engineer may work with an assessment support unit to provide comprehensive aerospace flight-testing and evaluation services. These aerospace engineers may be…

College is a place for kids to find their dream. Some kids find new adventurous things while others stay on the true path that they set in their childhood. College shows kids how they will be when they grow up and how they will work. People set their mind when they begin their first semester whether they will give up and party or will try hard to achieve their dreams. When it comes to picking a college for your choice you really need to look at all of the options. For one thing you need to look…

law/politics, engineering, & counseling. All are very well paid and have great respect toward they’re position. They also have many doors that can open to new careers because the skills you use in other careers are used in each of these. The three are just a base of what it gets you to do; many have different occupations. Engineering is so expansive that I could not even list all of the occupations on one page, but the three I am most interested in in civil, aerospace and mechanical…

ethics in a workplace, morals and moral choices made by individuals would not exist. Most engineering professions have governing code of ethics that are strictly laid out in their roles as professionals and abiding by them should be one of the highest priorities. Organizations such as AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics), and NSPE (National Society of Professional Engineers) Aerospace Engineering has Code of Ethics that lay out guidelines for professional conduct. Ethics has…

graduated with an engineering degree in Engineering Science (B.S.) from Pennsylvania State University. The future career path options that are promising for my skill set in Aerospace Engineering Companies for full-time employment opportunities. I am looking for an engineering career that involves development, process, testing, and failure analysis. The Engineering Science Degree allows me to expand my engineering knowledge across several engineering fields which includes Aerospace Engineering…

UCLA Extension, he is able to take a UCLA Extension class for free each quarter and was able to transfer his free class to me. This opportunity has allowed me to take aerospace classes that have taught me skills that are applicable in industry. I took a systems engineering class and an orbital mechanics class. In the systems engineering class, I learned the role of the systems engineer is to plan out the logistics of the spacecraft and take into account all the specificities that come with…

to pursue a STEM career. My father, a STEM degree dropout, worked in the defense industry and provided some insight into the types of careers available. In the eighth grade based upon my interest, he concluded that I should pursue a career as an aerospace…
