Neil Armstrong's "one small step for man" on the moon would not have been possible if it was not for the aerospace engineers who designed the rocket that got him there.

Engineers take scientific principles and theories and apply them to practical situations. Aerospace engineers are the engineers who design, create, and test aircraft, spacecraft, and missiles. They also supervise the production of these products. They work with, and help develop, some of the most advanced technologies on the planet. Aerospace engineers have produced everything from lightweight gliders, to airplanes that weigh over a half a million pounds, to communication satellites and the space shuttle.

Aerospace engineers are often divided into two major groups: aeronautical engineers (who work first and foremost with aircraft) and astronautical engineers (who work primarily with spacecraft). However, all aerospace engineers must have an understanding of the field’s core subjects, such as aerodynamics,......
