What I want to be when I grow up is an aerospace engineer. The reason for me wanting to be an aerospace engineer is that I have a lot of interest in astronomy. In this paper I will tell you many things like what Aerospace engineers do, what you need to do to become an Aerospace engineer, colleges nearby that work with aerospace engineering, what the median pay is, and what the work schedule may look like
THE DUTIES OF AEROSPACE ENGINEERS
Aerospace engineers have different duties according to O*NET ONLINE they test the aircraft and aerospace products, another duty aerospace engineers might have is to determine proposals for projects if they are technically and financially feasible, and direct or coordinate activities of engineering or technical personnel involved in designing, modifying, or testing of aircraft or aerospace products.

According to the bureau of labor statistics if high school students that are interested in becoming an Aerospace engineer should take classes in chemistry, physics, and math that also includes algebra trigonometry and calculus. According to the bureau of labor statistics Important qualities that you need is analytically qualities you have to remember data, business qualities you have to know what you are talking about suppose you are making proposals for projects, critical thinking is when you need to stay focused on your task, math skills this by far is the most important because you will need to remember many formulas you have to know how to solve out those equations, and finally writing skills you will need to be clear when you right when you are transferring data the other person needs to understand what you
At 4:38pm Flash Airlines flight 604 was cleared to taxi to runway 22R for departure. It was an evening flight and the weather was perfect. Visibility was excellent and everything indicated it was going to be another routine flight. However, on January 3rd, 2004 it was anything but routine.
We will be exploring and providing insight into the structure of the 82nd Airborne Division. The time frame that we will be analyzing for will be 1940-1945. The reason that I chose this time frame was because it heavily influenced the structure, tactics and methods of employment of an experimental fighting formation in the United States Army. We will explore the organization using Bolman and Deal?s (1997) four frames as a guiding conceptual
This year I got over my fear of horses. For my fifteenth birthday my aunt got me four weeks of horseback riding lessons. My lesson horses name was Skyjet. At first I was terrified of the horse and how big it was, but really it was one of the smallest ones there. I learned how to groom the horse on put all the gear on it. I learned how to 5-star which is when you go into a squat forward leaning position and stay like that, I learned how to post which is kind of like doing squats but instead of going down you are going up, also how to get the horse to trot and stop. To trot you say trot on kick the horse's side until it does. To stop you pull the reigns to you and release when they stop.
Aerospace engineering is my dream career. I have always been fascinated with space and the future of the human race, and when I was younger I had wanted to be an astronaut. Today, my interest in this field is mainly to ensure the survival of humanity in the face of any potential extinction event. Sustainability practices necessary for survival in such a hostile environment as space could be applied to many situations here on earth. As well, a sustainable colony on another world in our star system could prevent the extinction of mankind if earth were to become uninhabitable due to unforeseen events. This is all hypothetical, of course, but precautions must be taken to preserve our culture and our
When i grow older I want to be a Aerospace Engineer because I have a thing for anything that involves anything that flies. Aerospace engineers work in industries to design and build aircraft,spacecraft,etc. They are primarily involved in manufacturing,design, and development. In order to be an aerospace engineer you will require a bachelor’s degree or anything related to aerospace engineering. It is important to understand the education or training requirements,skills or talents needed, salary and benefits offered, and the duties for a particular career when making this decision. (u.s. Bureau of Labor statistics.)
The last couple of years have been quite eventful for me. Moving across the world from Dubai to Vancouver to pursue my education was a terrifying and daunting task. However taking this plunge into the unknown, and experiencing a new culture and way of life have led me to some of the most exciting experiences of my life. One of these came after I was accepted to one of UBC’s most competitive design teams, UBC rocket.
How many football players does it take to pull a Boeing 737? Actually, it only takes one, a comedian, and two teams of volunteers. On Tuesday, Seahawks quarterback, and Alaska Airlines Chief Football Officer, Russel Wilson, went up against The Soup’s comedian, Joel McHale, in a competition to pull a Boeing 737 twenty-five feet – by hand, for the Strong Against Cancer campaign. Think of it as timed tug-o-war against a plane.
Aeronautical drafting requires education just as any other drafting job out there. Anybody can download a CAD program and know a little bit about it and still not have the knowledge you need going into a job position. An Aeronautical drafter should have advanced mathematics,
Aerospace engineering is an occupation that helps many different things that are done in America; some of which being rockets for NASA and airplanes and fighter jets for the United States Military. An aerospace engineer is a certain type of engineer that primarily designs aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and missiles. Aerospace engineers specialize in advanced aerodynamics, so they need problem-solving, analytical, business, critical-thinking, math, and writing skills. They either specialize in aeronautical engineering or astronautical engineering (working with aircraft or working with spacecraft).
There comes a time where everyone must make up their minds on what they want to do in life. Some may find it at a young age, while others figure it out as they grow and enter college. Imagine a loved one coming to visit. The wait always feels like forever. Knowing that they would be coming by plane it would only be more amazing if the time spent waiting could be less, as well as knowing the ride is safe. As the plane descends into the runway ones heart begins to race with excitement. They enter the airport and is greeted with a warm hug. This is the story of how I found my love for air and spacecraft. Aerospace engineering is the trade that includes the designing and manufacturing of aircraft and space craft. To become an aerospace engineer
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Aerospace engineers design aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and missiles. In addition, they test prototypes to make sure that they function according to design.” (USDL). This job requires the individuals who are willing to pursue this career are required to be hard workers and are willing to put many hours in their work. Furthermore, these machines are then tasked to be able to transport supplies and people around space or to explore the vastness of space to give us further insight on what the universe has in store for us. Also, the creation of satellites can help us humans in being able to use technology such as satellite internet and television, enabling more people to the wonders of today’s technological

My intended major is Aerospace Engineering; however, I want to focus primarily on Astronautical Engineering since space exploration is more intriguing compared to other career fields. In the future, one of my life’s goal is to work for NASA, I want to develop the designs of spacecraft and construct it and make adaptations. This specific career has been a long term dream of mine and I am determined to accomplish my plan. As a young girl, I was amongst the many children who exclaimed they wanted to become an astronaut. Ever since I was in grade school I would read non-fiction outerspace books and watch science fiction movies and space documentaries.
Because most of the work for aerospace engineering is researching and designing alone or with a team it mainly takes place behind an office computer or at a drawing board. They also test components or prototypes of their project in laboratories or outside. Manufacturing engineer can take place on the factory floor supervising how everything is put together. Most the time is spent working in one location, but in some cases they may need to travel. There are many places to work as an aerospace engineer. Many big aerospace companies are in Washington, Texas, and Maryland, but you can works for NASA or national defense in other locations. Aerospace engineers even work and teach on college campuses around the country (Farinella). Aerospace engineering can be a pretty stressful job. Most work a normal 40 hours a week but deadlines bring extra hours, pressure, and stress. Also the idea of building something that could potentially kill many people can be stressful (“Aerospace Engineer”). While working in a company lots of times there is a sort of hierarchy in the engineers. Students and new engineers coming in are just regular engineers or junior engineers. Then they move up to a project engineer supervising others followed by becoming a managing engineer responsible for many projects and teams. At the top is the chief engineer who manages all the engineers and is the decision maker
A pilot does not have to be an aeronautical engineer to learn to fly an airplane. However, it is a good idea to have good knowledge of aerodynamics and flight theory to be able to fly safely. There are four basic components in making an airplane fly, lift, drag, thrust, and weight. All of these work in unison to make a plane stay in the air. If one of the first three is taken out of the equation, gravity and weight will take over and cause the plane to descend. It is up to the pilot to understand how to make them equal in order to keep the airplane in flight or descend at an acceptable rate, in order to safely land the airplane. Before staring work to get a pilot’s license it would be a good idea to understand several aspects before the
