Aerospace Engineers




If I were a scientist, I would be a rocket scientist, or more formally known as aerospace engineer. Aerospace engineers are people who work in teams and design flight vehicles, flight vehicles such as rockets and airplanes. Degrees need for aerospace engineering are advanced diploma, bachelor's, master's, and Ph.D. levels in aerospace engineering departments and in mechanical engineering. Aerospace engineers need to design more efficient flight vehicles while taking into consideration aerodynamics, temperature, atmospheric pressure, and structural loads (forces applied to a component of a structure or to the structure as a unit).

I would want to be an aerospace engineer because I find planes and such interesting. I would like to more specifically how these vehicles work and how they are made. I am interested by how they work.'Cause being able to make something heavy like a rocket and being able to get it airborne is amazing.

Learning about them would help me know how they are made and how they work. Also, everything learned can be used else where. For example the motor industry, ways to improve fuel efficiency.

This field of work has helped create better airplanes for transportation. Create more efficient rockets to go into outer space. And may make even better machines that will help people.

  1. This sounds like a cool career! I chose to be an astrophysicist for my project, and these two are somewhat similar. The sky and outer space really fascinate me as well because I am a visual learner. It would be neat to use creativity and logic to design vehicles that could (safely) take people into space. Without aerospace engineers, we may not have known as much about space as we do today. Good job.
