OVERVIEW : Aerospace engineering is associated with the building of modern day aircrafts (civilian and fighter) and as well was design and development of spacecrafts and missiles. The science behind the design and development of flying machines is what aerospace engineering deals with. It consists of two main branches, aeronautic engineering, which deals with science, design and development of aircraft operating within the earth's atmosphere. Astronautical engineering deals with the science, design and development of spacecrafts, which operate outside the earth’s atmosphere. An aerospace engineer deals with concepts such as aerodynamics, airfoil, control spaces, lift, and drag of flying machines. It is an extremely interesting branch dealing with the making of aircraft, rockets, flying craft and spacecraft.
JOB DESCRIPTION : As an aerospace engineer, you will be designing and developing various types of flying machines such as civilian aircrafts, fighter jets, choppers, rockets, missiles and spacecrafts. Subjects like structural design, guidance, navigation, control, instrumentation and communication, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, celestial mechanics, propulsion, acoustics and many more subjects are taught in aerospace engineering.
The great strides in aerospace engineering has enabled us to produce spacecrafts which encircle the earth in the space and which undergo huge amounts of technological upgrades and require expertise from many fields. The rockets which are used to put satellites into orbits or the missiles which are designed to carry heavy payloads and have inter-continental ranges are all products of aerospace engineering.
JOB OUTLOOK : The field of aerospace engineering is a highly specialized field. According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, although the number of degrees granted in aerospace engineering has begun to increase after many years of declines, new graduates continue to be needed to replace aerospace engineers who retire or leave the occupation for other reasons.
DEGREES OFFERED : Associates -Bachelor's -Master's -Doctorate/PhD -Certificate
SALARY : Occupation - Aerospace engineers
ELE - Bachelor' degree
MAW(2010) - $97,480
EOL (10%) - $60,620
EOH (10%) - $143,360
SOURCE : U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
EXPECTED JOB GROWTH : According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Employment of aerospace engineers is expected to grow five percent from 2010 to 2020, slower than the average for all occupations. New technologies and new designs for commercial and military aircraft and spacecraft produced during the next decade should spur demand for aerospace engineers. The employment outlook for aerospace engineers appears favorable. Aerospace engineers earned a median salary of $97,480 in the year May 2010.
