The day to day duties of a mechanical engineer are at first repetitive, but over time and with advancement work varies. The average mechanical engineer works anywhere from thirty-five to fifty hours a week. If the engineer is ahead of schedule the hours may be less. Depending on which type of engineer you want be, you will either wear a uniform or semiformal clothing. Usually mechanical engineers work in an office or at a desk, their clothes are semiformal. Mechanical engineers are mainly designing equipment, so the outside work is minimal.
Standing near the edge of Wallops Island and freezing to death at 6 a.m., I was awed by the momentous occasion before me. As I watched the sounding rocket carry its payload into orbit, I wondered many things: why a delay occurred from the moment of launch until the thunderous sound finally reached my ears; the amount of thrust required to overcome the effects of drag and gravity; and why the rocket was not launched perpendicular to the Earth’s surface, but at an angle. While I may seem like a nerd for thinking about aerospace principles instead of enjoying the moment, this memory represents my lifelong love of aerospace engineering. My college application would be incomplete if I could not at least briefly express the love I have for aerospace engineering.
