Aerospace Engineering Career Paper

The name of the career that I have decided to do my career research paper on is aerospace engineering. I chose to want to become a aerospace engineer because I have always been fascinated by how much variety there is in the career. I would have a pretty good list of things I could primarily work on in this career field. Being a aerospace engineer give you a wide variety of jobs and this is a big attraction for me. I like to have the opportunity to not be focused on one job. I want to be able to do many things and help with all parts of this career. I also have an interest in the designing aspect of the career. I would be creating and improving the design of: aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and missiles. I’m already in autocad and learning

So I really want to learn more and more about the whole designing side of things. Learning how aircraft moves inside and outside the atmosphere is also another attraction for me. Knowing exactly how to calculate how an aircraft will preform will be another duty of mine. I will also have the ability to run simulations for aircraft and AI controlled aircraft. I can be put in a seat and pilot an aircraft in a simulation to get every factor we need for the autopilot part of things. Some serious skills of an aerospace engineer will be: mathematical, analytical, and problem solving skills. This means I will have to greatly improve my mathematical skills as soon as possible.

An aerospace engineer will usually work indoors. They will work will work in an office on the computer designing or they could be out in the warehouse doing

There are still skill that I need to further such as mathematical and negotiation. I feel those things will be difficult to achieve, but I am determined to progress. To be a aerospace engineer you will need to acquire a lot of experience. The more experience you have the more qualified for the position you are. At first a aerospace engineer will not need to have a license. But, as you gain more experience and responsibility a license may be required; some projects require government authentication to work on. Some other licenses are: a degree from a engineering program, passing score on fundamentals of engineering exam, and a passing score on the professional engineering exam. The recommended majors for aerospace engineering can vary; some of the major are: aerodynamics, advanced physics, atmospheric sciences, performance of aircraft and space. Related occupations are: computer hardware engineers, industrial engineers, and materials engineers. The educational requirements for aerospace engineer is a bachelor’s degree. It will take four years for a bachelor’s degree. The education for aerospace engineering will be found in university and on the field experience. Some schools offer on site training while studying in university. This allows them to gain more experience before they go into the field. Two schools that provide these majors is California Institute of Technology
