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 areas, Fracture Mechanics (also statistical like mean time before…

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 always been one of the most important principles in my life ever since I started majoring…

Aerospace engineering is a complex, rapidly changing field of engineering. The industry is one the most innovating field of engineering as it is pushing boundaries of technology as we know it; making us achieve almost the impossible. The design, structure and production of a machine that exceeds and breaks the decree and law of Mother Nature, is arguably the zenith of engineering in the world right now. This has been fascinating me for quite a long time, ever since I was at a tender age; I have…

The three careers that I am choosing to investigate from my major, aerospace engineering, are: propulsion development engineer, spacecraft structures engineer, and spacecraft materials engineer. Of these three, my first pick would be propulsion development engineer, followed by spacecraft structures engineer. Propulsion development is a branch of aerospace engineering that focuses on spacecraft and aircraft propulsion systems. I chose to investigate these three careers as I feel that I would…

design. Aerospace engineers often tackle challenges in the office utilizing data and overseeing operations on daily basis. There have been failures and successes that make this field one of the most rigorous fields. Aerospace engineering can be considered one of the least forgiving forms of engineering, but it is worth the effort and achievements that come with it. There are many different subsections of aerospace engineering. Aerodynamics, propulsion and airframe are just a couple. Aerospace…

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…

this opportunity because my dad teaches for UCLA Extension. As a professor of 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…

After determining career goals, the next step is determining present skills and competencies which are particularly valuable. Individuals must take a deliberate catalogue of their education, 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…

V.2. Future of the industry In the next two decades the commercial aerospace industry is likely to drop to an industry shaped only by a few large companies. A commercial airplane consists of approximately six million parts and the technical descriptions should contain million pages. The number and specifications of products…

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…
