Who are Aerospace Engineers?
Aerospace engineering is more than just aerospace. It integrates may disciplines with spin offs into many other industries. Rooted in the aircraft and spacecraft, it pushes the frontiers of science and engineering and fuels humankind’s spirit of imagination and exploration. Aerospace engineers are involved in all aspects of aeronautics (working with aircraft) and astronautics (working with spacecraft). They conduct research, and design and develop vehicles and systems for atmospheric and space environments. These engineers often specialize in one of many areas such as aerodynamics, propulsion, flight mechanics, orbital mechanics, fluids, structures, guidance & control, and computation.
