Aerospace Engineering

Aerospace engineering is a new advanced professional degree program designed specifically for toady's modern engineering world.  It is intended for recent engineering graduates and working engineers desiring a broader graduate experience that emphasizes and applications focused engineering education, as well as for seasoned engineers who want to increase their opportunities for career enhancement but may not be able to take full time away from work.  The study of this field encompasses the fields of aeronautical and astronautical engineering.  Aerospace engineers work in teams to design, build, and test machines that fly within the earth's atmosphere and beyond.  This field of engineering draws from such subjects as physics, mathematics, earth science, aerodynamics, and biology.  Some aerospace engineers specialize in designing one complete machine; perhaps a commercial aircraft like the Boeing passenger planes.  Where others focus on separate components such as for the missile guidance systems.  
The roots of aerospace engineering can be traced as far back as to when people first dreamed of being able to fly.  Thousands of years ago, the Chinese developed kites and later experimented with gunpowder as a source of propulsion.  In the fifteenth century, Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci created drawings of two devices that were designed to fly.  Then later in 1783, Joseph and Jacques Montgolifier of France designed the first hot-air balloon that could be used for manned flight.  In 1903 the first mechanically powered and controlled flight was completed in a craft designed by the Wright Brothers (Cosgrove 58-69).  
High school students that are interested in an aerospace career should follow a college preparatory program.  Main emphasis should be put on mathematics, science, computers, and English.  Important electives include mechanical drawing and industrial arts, but most colleges want their students to have completed the following cou...
