Aerospace engineers design aircrafts, spacecrafts, satellites and missiles. In addition, they test prototypes to make sure that they function according to design.
Aerospace engineers work primarily for firms that are engaged in analysis and design, manufacturing and development, and for federal government. Design of details requires the use of sophisticated computer equipment and software that`s why engineers spend more of their time in an office-environment than they have in the past.
Aerospace engineers typically work full time. Engineers who direct projects must often work extra hours to monitor progress, to ensure that the design meets requirements, to determine how to measure aircraft performance, to see that production meets design standards, and to ensure that deadlines are met.Entry-level aerospace engineers usually need a bachelor's degree. At some universities, a student can enroll in a 5-year program that leads to both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree upon completion [1]. A graduate degree will allow an engineer to work as an instructor at a university or to do research and development. Programs in aerospace engineering are accredited by ABET.
