Aerospace Engineering Career Essay

For my project life, I chose Aerospace Engineering as my future career. I have already set my path in that direction by taking Coach Cutshaw’s Pre – Engineering class at South Greene High School. I also plan on taking one of the three engineering courses at the Greene Technology Center. I would then need to get at least a Bachelor’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering at a four year college or get a degree from a Technical School with an engineering program. In High School I will have to take Physics, Chemistry, Writing/English, and several Math courses such as algebra, calculus, and trigonometry. I chose this career because I have always been interested in how planes are able to fly and how they operate. I think it’s fascinating that such a large machine can lift itself and stay stabilized enough for flight. It would also be exciting to see how they are made and to help build and design them. I would be required to conduct research on production materials, analyze the structural integrity of a plane’s framework, and develop
However, prior experience is not necessary for the position I am looking at. I will have to be able to identify design elements that may not meet requirements, or are faulty or hazardous. I must have knowledge of standard business practices and commercial laws to meet federal government requirements for my job. I will also need to be able to translate a set of issues into requirements. For example, if there are technical issues with a prototype, I will need to be able to take what is wrong with the prototype and make new guidelines for the next prototype to see if the design will work. I will have to use the principals of calculus and trigonometry as well as other advanced classes of math. I will be required to write and to be able to explain my designs clearly and create documentation for future
