      Introduction

      Choosing a career is easily one of the most important things you will do in the next few years. Much of what you have done in high school and most of what you will do in college will likely influence what you do as an adult. Up until now, you have mostly chosen to do things that you enjoy. Make a few good decisions in the coming years and there will be no reason to stop enjoying yourself.

      And that's an important point. Some people make their lives happen, while others merely let life happen to them. Be one of the first kind of people and your chances of leading a happy life are much higher than if you wait around to see what life sends your way. No matter how many unplanned curve balls come your way, nobody controls your destiny as much as you do.

      You probably have big dreams. You want to go places, literally and figuratively. You look to the future and see it as something that can only get better. You probably have a knack for math and science, too. That's good, because as an aerospace engineer you'll need all the number-crunching expertise you can get.

      Aerospace engineering occupies a privileged place among engineering disciplines. Electrical engineering may light up cities, but it's only a small step on the way to the moon. Structural engineering may build bridges of surprising beauty and strength, but those bridges don't lead to the heavens. Aerospace engineering is the stuff of dreams and wonder, from the realm of science fiction fantasies to the grind of international commerce. Aerospace technology is the cornerstone of American military power and one of the mainstays of the US economy. Innovations in aerospace engineering drive change in associated industries, from the obvious, like airlines, to the not-so-obvious, like metallurgy. Aerospace engineering creates the most advanced technologies most people ever encounter in person. And you can be an essential part of it.

      As important as it is, the health of the aerospace industry can change dramatically in very short order. In
