Aerospace Engineer
When I grow older I want to become an aerospace engineer. Right now becoming an aerospace engineer is my so called “Dream Job”. I think that becoming an aerospace engineer sounds very fascinating. Although becoming an aerospace engineer is not an easy task. All the steps that are necessary to complete to become an aerospace engineer are very hard and very demanding. For instance, you have to go to a good college to get proper education on aerospace engineering. You can't go to some technical school for aerospace engineering; you have to go to a full four-year university. This is due to the fact that you need to have proper education for all a complicated tasks and aerospace engineer has to deal with.

When one is supposed to think of aerospace engineering usually two companies pop into mind. The first one is often NASA, and the second one is usually Boeing. Now the difference between NASA and Boeing is, NASA is paid for by the government and Boeing is a private company. Both provide the world with very intuitive technology for aircrafts. Both companies strive towards improving the world of aviation by experimenting with different techniques and materials for building crafts. At both of these corporations, you can have many different jobs inside of them. One of the jobs I want to strive for is being an engineer in one the departments that designs aircrafts. Since I was little, I had always looked up at the skies to see the airplanes flying past and have always thought about what it would be like to be on a team of engineers that designs these aircrafts.

Acquiring a position at an aerospace firm such as Boeing or NASA will require a wide skillset. You need to be prepared for the work conditions. You need to have a very active mind and have a good concept of design to be able to design aircrafts. You have to have a good understanding of how aerodynamics and heat resistance works. You have to have a good knowledge of what materials you're using to design a

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…

    As many people believe, you can't succeed in aviation unless you have a strong passion for it. I have always loved to fly, I can't think of one time where I have not been excited to board an airliner, even for a 12 hour flight returning from a perfect vacation in Alaska! Everything about flying appeals to my senses; the pressure sensation on my back as the aircraft barrels down the runway and lifts off, the jet engine spooling noises during takeoff, and even the distinctive jet fuel scent that fills the cabin when the turbofans are being started are just a few examples. I also love everything about an aircraft itself; the appearance, and instruments, controls and systems that successfully drive the aircraft increase my interest in airliners. All of these aspects about aviation further strengthen my desire to become a pilot. When watching aviation videos online, the sounds of the flight deck together with the sounds of the engines while the pilot lands the aircraft perfectly all combine together into one strong feeling of awe that takes over my mind. I really love everything about flying and airliners, and want to operate them for my…

    My interest in space and the space program began when I was a small child. Initially I was focused primarily on aircraft and space vehicles, especially the Saturn V rocket. My grandfather worked at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration from the day it was founded on October 1, 1958, until the space shuttle program. He retired as Chief of the Shuttle Simulation Division at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas in 1983. So I can say my discussions with my grandfather and the fascinating stories he would tell sparked my interest in the space program and my desire to pursue a career in this field. My hope is that obtaining an Aeronautical Engineering Degree at Texas A&M University will catapult me into a career in the space program.…
