Aerospace Engineers

Experience, Skills, and Personality Traits

Take as many math and science classes as possible and participate in internships and other experiential opportunities to gain experience in the field.

Aerospace engineers should enjoy completing detailed work, problem-solving, and participating in group efforts. Mathematical, science, and computer skills are a must. Equally important, however, are the abilities to communicate ideas, share in teamwork, and visualize the forms and functions of structures. Curiosity, inventiveness, and the willingness to continue to learn from experiences are excellent qualities for this type of work.
