Design Spacecraft

I decided early on in High School that my goal was to attend college for a degree in aerospace engineering, moving on to work as an engineer or technician working on and designing aircraft. When I was very young,

These three interconnected goals alongside my optimistic attitude connect me to my future because they lay the path toward its realization. During college, I plan to major in physics and mathematics, but I expect to take a wide variety of courses to maintain my well-rounded nature. With this broad background and focus on personal goals, I feel confident that I will meet my career objective and dream of becoming a physicist. How do my goals provide the means to meet my objective? My avid pursuit of volunteerism encourages me to maintain a career path on which I may develop technologies that will help people. Once I obtain employment, I hope to be able to utilize my leadership skills on the job site as an expert in my field; however, in order to obtain that employment initially, I must complete college and graduate school, which will require that I excel in my classes. If I achieve my goals, I will certainly set myself up to successfully meet my ultimate objective.

The future; after high school, after college, the future is a later time period that will happen in one’s life. For my future I plan to attend college and later become an engineer. College is one of the best choices available for high school graduates to ensure a successful future. Colleges offer specialized learning that when attended can open many opportunities. Two colleges I may attend after high school are Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) or California Institute of Technology (Caltech). After college I plan to choose a career in the field of engineering. Two career possibilities are Aerospace Engineering or Biomedical Engineering. By researching these two universities and two possible careers, I have learned about the many possibilities that lie ahead for my future.

I do not have a goal in mind. There is no deadline or additional information I can provide for my dream. I want to make a positive impact on the world. I want to have an outstanding legacy.

As the fiery pillar of smoke climbed ever faster towards the night sky, I stood mouth agape at age five as I watched the launch of the Discovery Space Shuttle in Cape Canaveral, birthing my fascination with the depths of space. At age eighteen, my sense of purpose was clearer than ever in a high school classroom while watching footage of the spacewalk mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope, an inspiration for me to pursue higher education in engineering with aspirations of becoming an astronaut. By age twenty three, I had been working at my first full time job as an engineer for the Department of Defense for nearly a year when I unexpectedly failed a flight physical due to minor, yet untreatable, health conditions. Now, realizing that my chances of becoming an astronaut are beyond my control, my reasoning for undertaking graduate work is to enable myself to contribute to a field that ultimately helps others do the things their bodies keep them from doing. I want to help put those people back in control of doing the things they dream to do.

I want to help design air and space craft that will be more efficient. Advancement in technology is very important not only in the military, but for all citizens as well. Citizens travel across the country and the world everyday in airplanes. Some of these airplanes still get the job done, but are getting quite old. I want to help make airplanes more efficient by lowering the cost, and making them more available. Making airplanes more available and less expensive will allow industries to build newer models which will improve the safety of the airplanes. Not only do I want to improve the efficiency, I want to improve designs as well. As an engineer, I will work to enhance the technology inside and outside of the airplane. In the military, this would especially be crucial in time war. Our soldiers need the best airplanes with the best systems we have to offer. My job everyday would fulfill a responsibility to the American citizens with air travel, and our soldiers with

My career plans after completing my formal education is to begin working in the aerospace industry and contribute to the advancement and development of new research and technologies. After successfully completing my PhD program, I plan to pursue the technical career path and eventually become a technology fellow and research scientist/leader.

James McDivitt graduated and got his Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical science engineering from the university of Michigan. Then, he used his knowledge and joined the air force to serve as a pilot during the Korean War. Although engineering is a very broad topic, I find it very interesting. Last year, engineering was one of my electives even though it was not one of my top choices. I was bummed at first, but when I went to class, we built robots and I enjoyed it a lot. I always liked building things with Legos. The engineering class was similar to it, but took it one step further where the things we make can move. This is one thing that we have in common, and what interested me about James McDivitt.

Space exploration companies, such as NASA or SpaceX, work towards encouraging the new generations of students, which will supply the companies with well-equipped personnel in the future. For example, UniverseToday recently stated, “NASA’s education office has three goals: making the workforce stronger, encouraging students to pursue STEM careers (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), and ‘engaging Americans in NASA’s missions.’ Other space agencies also have education components to assist with requirements in their own countries” (Howell, What Are). Another writer wrote how it inspires younger generations by saying, “You could either ask a child, ‘Would you like to become an aeronautical engineer whose job it is to design a plane 20 per cent more efficient than the previous model?’. Or you could ask, ‘Would you like to become an aeronautical engineer whose job it is to design a spaceship that could fly to Mars?’. Guess which question is more likely to inspire him or her to study and dream of achieving great things?” (Intini, 10 Reasons). The programs made available by space agencies are beneficial to those seeking education, and will provide valuable learning even if they do not wish to pursue space exploration. Along with education, space agencies have the potential to instill ambitious morals in future generations. The hunger for exploration, which has motivated people to risk their lives, characterizes humanity. Without this ambition, our ancestors would have never left Africa, or set foot on the moon; we would have never made the achievement of searching a comet for life like the Rosetta Mission did in 2014 (Intini, 10 Reasons). Thus, by continuing exploration, the human race can work towards determining the eternal question of “Are we alone in the universe?”, and make

My goal in attending the United States Naval Academy and becoming an officer in the Navy is to provide myself ample opportunities to reach my established life goals. I plan to pursue a career in aerospace engineering, and developing that career through the Naval Academy will help me to achieve the dreams I have had since childhood. The character and integrity I have developed through life experiences will aid me in reaching these goals and while attending the Naval Academy. I decided early on in High School that my goal was to attend college for a degree in aerospace engineering, moving on to work as an engineer. When I was very young, I read all types of books on planes.

Money and fame do not motivate my goals. Engineering in all forms is a field of innovation and invention. Aspirations of any great engineer should be to introduce to the world a new idea, product, or service that will make people happier and the environment safer. Success in these challenges is a reward greater than any dollar amount or public recognition. Engineers bring societies to new levels of civilization through their advancements in technology and discovery. The challenge to provide people with ever-increasing standards while at the same time feeding the population with ideas of what could be attracts my imagination, intelligence, and curiosity far more

Not only do I possess the technical side, I also have the leadership skills to contribute to Zodiac Aerospace. During my last year in high school, I proved my leadership with the Eagle Scout award. To achieve the Eagle Scout award, I was required to lead a project that benefited my community. I decided to help my local elementary school by building a bookshelf for them. Obviously building two large book cases by myself is quite a hard feat, but this is where my leadership comes in. In my Boy Scout troop I consistently planned camping trips and hikes. When I asked for help from my troop many jumped at the opportunity. Leading a group of twenty people is not as easy as I had expected; however, with the correct instructions our group and I managed

One future career possibility is Aerospace Engineering. After conducting much research, I have learned a lot about the different characteristics of an aerospace engineer, along with their daily duties and responsibilities. This research has allowed for a better understanding of what an aerospace engineer is and how well my personality and characteristics would relate to this career.

Upon completion of my undergraduate degree in Aviation Management, I will pursue a career with a major airline. Not only will I realize a life long dream but also it will be a personal accomplishment in an academic road that was often complicated. Ideals may change, values do not and some things just take a little more time to achieve.

Every human being has their own career aspirations. I also put one dream that I want to realize since being in school is to become a mechatronic engineer because of my deep interest in technical fields such as electrical and mechanical. Although, mechatronics engineer is not an easy career to achieve because have many obstacles and challenges to be met but I am sure that I am able to make full preparations for the realization of my dreams as a mechatronic engineer.
