After working through much of the interview work for my upcoming project, it is important to focus on the goal of the project. To learn a bit more about my major, the field of Aerospace Engineering, and its genres. Therefore, in this post, I'll present a few facts and popular work on the Aerospace field.

Students

Students in the aerospace field learn to develop, analyze, and test aircraft and spacecraft, often specializing in either aerospace or astronautics, to focus on one certain type of aerospace.

Careers

People with aerospace engineering degrees often get into engineering firms with large or small companies, frequently doing design work, analysis, and especially, testing of existing or prototype designs to create newer and more efficient flying crafts.

Passion

I am drawn to this field because my father was an electrical engineer, and from a young age, I have had a passion for planes due to their precision, power, and near magical ability to fly and take people around the world or to places never seen before by humans.

Famous People

Some of the most famous people involved in the aerospace field are Elon Musk, owner of SpaceX and celebrity entrepreneur, Scott Kelly, current commander aboard aboard the ISS, who has taken many photos and shared stories of how space life is like and educating people on the tasks of a an astronaut, and Richard Branson, owner of the Virgin franchise, which includes two airlines, and also the creater of Virgin Galactic, a spacecraft company designed to ferry tourists to space.

Important Journals

 Three Important Journals within the Aerospace field are:

1. The American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics - Published online on their website, sponsored by their own Institute.

2. Progress in Aerospace Sciences - Published online on ScienceDirect.

3. IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems- Published at IEEE, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. 

4. Air International - Published in print and online on Air International.
