Aerospace engineering Career options
Aerospace engineers work on designing and maintaining air and spacecraft.These include,● Military and
commercial planes● Missile defense
systems● Spacecraft for a
variety of purposes
Educational requirements
● Entry level aerospace engineers need a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering from an ABET accredited university(Bls.gov)
● some universities have 5
Skills needed Aerospace engineers work on designing and maintaining air and spacecraft. They need the following skills to be effective at their job.
● Team collaboration,An air or spacecraft is never built by one person, an aerospace engineer must be able to work in teams to Create these complex designs
● Leadership skills,Many aerospace engineers are employed in the building of air and spacecraft. this requires being able to efficiently manage groups of people.
Best Programs● The current best Aerospace
engineering program is at Stanford university
● Tied for second are Georgia Institute of Technology and
year programs which offer both bachelor's and master's degrees
Job OutlookAerospace engineering jobs are expected to decline by 2% by 2024.● This is due to declining
factory jobs● However, aerospace
engineers will always be needed to design and maintain aircraftSample job
A sample job from engineering jobs.com is a bt-1488 satellite mechanic for Bastion technologies.● This job involves
designing hardware for satellites
● Requires at least 8 years experience
● Requires a bachelor's
