Recommended: An essay on setting goals

My whole life I have always wanted to become a successful engineer, and graduate from the University of Cincinnati. Some of my goals in life are to go to the University of Cincinnati. Another one of my goals is to become some type of engineer. But as of right now I would like to be a aerospace engineer. To be honest I really don’t know what influenced me to want to become and engineer. But something about engineering always appealed to me for some reason. But lately my engineering teacher has had a positive impact on me and is really making me like engineering and the overall field. So I guess that Mr. Smith has influenced me into being an engineer. My plan b is to be an engineer too. But this type of engineering would just be easier to do. My plan b as of right now is just to become an engineer but just one that would be easier than being and aerospace engineer.

To be an aerospace engineer you have to have is a minimum of a four year degree. A four year degree is a bachelor’s degree which most engineers get unless they are in an engineering design program. Really aerospace engineering is probably one of the hardest fields to get in to. Just the other day my engineering teacher told us that only the top ten percent make it into the program. So as you can see the program is very hard and it is a very prestige’s program to get into. But the minimum education you need is a four year degree. Also your GPA needs to be very good in high school. Referring back to what my engineering teacher told our class, your grades need to be phenomenal and you need to have some engineering experience.

Right now I am in the engineering tech prep program at my high school. Also at our school we have to take the right classes to be in a tech p...

... for civil engineering is above average as of right now. The positive aspect of being a civil engineer is everything about it. Also I don’t think that there are any negative aspects of my career because if there was I wouldn’t do it.

Overall I plan to go to a four year college, and get a degree in aerospace engineering form the University of Cincinnati. My expectations for this career are very high and I feel that it will be a great field for me. As of right now I am on the right track to go to Cincinnati for engineering and become a successful engineer. There are so many positives to my career that I cant even name them, and there are no negatives to my career choice. If being a aerospace engineer does not work out I plan to fall back onto civil engineering. I think that civil engineering is a good choice for me because it’s another branch of engineering.

    To be an aerospace engineer, they must have great mental capability to perform all the tasks required by their job. Aerospace engineers must have knowledge in propulsion, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, flight mechanics, and structural analysis. They also have to take into account cost analysis, reliability studies, maintainability, marketing, and management (“Aerospace Engineers Encyclopedia“62-66). Aerospace engineers can also be managers of the projects, or be a floor manager of a factory. In addition to their main task, they may be required to write technical reports, performance reports, and many other documents (“Aerospace Engineers Aerospace”). Aerospace engineers must have a great knowledge of their work, but they also must know a lot about their work environment and tools they must get use to using.

    Many people tend to set goals. They can set goals for their personal life, academics, or even for their professional lives. You can literally set a goal for pretty much anything you can imagine.

Prior to turning thirteen I did not want to be someone who uses ‘math’ all day and sits at a desk all day. In 2010 I joined a FLL team at Troy Christian Junior High School. I did not want to do this at first but after consistent encouragement from my father and mother, my father has a master’s degree and my mother has a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering, I participated in all of the team functions. While on the team I was exposed to SolidWorks and I appeared to have a talent for designing 3D models. I also was one of the few members tasked or voluntold to program the robot. I soon realized that not all engineers do math all day and I may have a talent for

As a civil engineer I will choose to work outside with a hands-on approach to the projects I take on. This will be a very rewarding career for me, since I will get to see a specific design all the way through to the finished project, and I will get to observe how this finished project helps the public. I also like the fact that my work would benefit more people in one day than almost any other profession. Since I am good at solving problems and designing and constructing things, I should have no problems as a civil engineer. Because civil engineering has all the qualities I am looking for in a job, I feel that it is the perfect career for me.

    It has taken a very long time for me to decide on the path that I wanted to take for my career. I have almost always known that I wanted to be an engineer. I was always more interested in applying my knowledge to solve problems rather than just research and understand the world. However, I had little to no inkling as to which field of engineering I wanted to go in to. I had always been a dabbler, involving myself in a large variety of activities with the interest of learning about how stuff works. I started out learning how to use the tools in the shed outback, making pinewood derby cars and model rockets. I would help my dad with home improvement and repair projects around the house.
