Aerospace engineering while difficult to become, Is an extremely rewarding occupation that provides numerous benefits with challenging and important work. This profession so to say fuels many aspects of modern life from transportation to satellite operated devices, along with anything rocket related. The industry is growing, and will continue to be needed due to the listed applications. With a college education, a job in this field can be attained if one is willing to work hard in order to help others and in turn receive more than fair compensation.
Within the profession of aerospace engineering, there are numerous duties to be taken up by the workers. This career encompasses designing everything that has to do with objects moving through or being in the air, such as planes, rockets, missiles, satellites and much more. Designing and improving on the listed items can improve things such as military, air travel, space exploration, and all of the numerous things that work off of satellites like GPS, cellphones, and satellite television. The field of work is quite challenging due to its precise nature. However, aerospace engineering is not just designing as many people speculate as there are many more components to the job. First of all, the employee has to know what their mission is and what must be accomplished, so there must be a considerable amount of meeting with and discussing with the client. From what the engineer now knows, they must analyze the problem, the data they have and how it could possibly be solved. To do so, research must occur which will later lead to designing and development of one of said ideas. Before putting a plan into place, models would most likely be made to see how the idea would pan out and ...

Are we allotting enough funding for aerospace research? At the present time, significant progress in aerospace research will not be made for a long time. It is sad that we don’t place more urgency on such an important field. Yes, there is still research being conducted in the field; however, limited funding prevents significant advancement. The benefits derived from aerospace research should provide enough justification for investing more money in this area. The benefits are not exclusive to sp...

Some colleges offer a degree in aerospace engineering; others offer a more generalized engineering degree with some coursework in aerospace engineering. These courses might include aerospace guidance systems, extreme-altitude material science, and the physics of high-altitude radiation. Internships, summer jobs, and any experience in the field are helpful, as entry into this industry is highly competitive. Many aspirants may need to relocate to California, Washington State, or Texas, where the majority of defense industry aerospace work is done, to work for companies such as NASA, Boeing and Lockheed Martin. Two years into their job an aerospace engineer can be planning on being Junior members of research staff are swamped with work, both in the lab and in offices, crunching data and organizing research.
