A Career in Aerospace Engineering

In this plain stark white room, people are crowded around a glass table with a giant drafting sheet laid across, tension nearly bursting out the door. The director of the group sighs “We need to make this plane safer, the test pilot nearly crashed in the prototype.” they replied with silence still struggling to brainstorm. It was all on their minds, but pressure was hindering their ability, after all the deadline to the SAE 2028 Aerospace Systems and Technology Conference (ASTC) is next month. “Let’s start with identifying the cause of the problem.” the boss finally says, breaking the long silence. An on they went on their project, following the cycle of design, doggedly battling against the clock of innovation, pushing the limits of human ability; they were truly on the cutting edge of technology, the fringe of the future. That is where I want to be. No, where I will be as I follow the path to my future. Not only does an aerospace engineering career encompass my future, but its effects will be felt by all of society as it is truly a job that is a cornerstone of our scientific progression.

The aerospace engineer career is a competitive, fulfilling, and rewarding pursuit that entails endeavoring through modern limitations of society, management and planning of these endeavors, and effectively applying the results to tomorrow. As a occupation paving the way to the future, it is no surprise that its openings projection is positive, and is guaranteed to be stable unless humans stop utilizing the power of flight, which is very unlikely. Furthermore, due to the worldwide use of aircraft and vast application, the geographical limitations for aerospace engineer are to first and second world countries because third world countries would ...
