Aerospace Engineering
Aerospace engineers are responsible for the research, design and production of aircraft, spacecraft, aerospace equipment, satellites and missiles. Work done by aerospace engineers has made such things as speedy mail delivery and moon travel possible. Canadian aerospace engineers designed the Canadarm used on the Space Shuttle and Space Station Alpha.

Engineering in your Community

While it's unlikely anyone will be launching a rocket from your community anytime soon, there is still an important role for aerospace engineers there.

Aerospace engineers design and manufacture communications satellites and ground based satellite dishes. These technologies send and receive signals for television, telephone and the Internet.

Become an aerospace engineer and you could help people in your community access health and education services for which they would otherwise have to travel long distances.
