salaam sister
the average salary a nasa engineer gets is between 7500 to 10000 dollars per month ,,
hope this helped

Hello – I’m considering joining the Air Force with the eventual goal of becoming a pilot, and I could really use some advice.

I’m sure I share this story with every other pilot, but I’ve dreamed of flying since I’ve been young. My uncle flew for the service and my father as a civilian, so I grew up around planes. Naturally, this has been my one consistent goal for the majority of my life.

I’m currently a sophomore studying Aerospace Engineering at a large school on the east coast. Not Ivy league, but nonetheless the engineering program is well known and respected. I took the ACT and scored a 33 (out of 36), and did well on the SAT subject tests I was required to take. My GPA here is in the neighborhood of 3.4 (should improve after this year). I hold a leadership position in a music-related organization and am a member of several other groups.

Physically, I’m in good shape and exercise regularly. I dislocated a shoulder four years ago but haven’t had any trouble with it since, and am told that it is in great condition. Basically, I believe that I physically and mentally qualify.

My question is: What route should I take to maximize my chances of, in the end, becoming a pilot? I have been considering OTS, but I heard that in recent years they have had their slots cut considerably. I looked into the Air Force Academy, but it appears that I would (mostly, at least) have to start over as a freshmen. Any advice on this would be very much appreciated.

Also, I know it would really devastate me to end up as a mechanic or in a support role, watching other people fly. I respect people that work in those fields and understand how important they are, but that sort of work is not my intent. I think any other pilot would understand how I feel.

Basically, I’m trying to figure out how to progress after graduating from college, as it appears transferring is out. Any advice you can give me on this would help, and I appreciate it very much.

Thanks,
AH

IT sounds like ROTC would be your best option. They have a 2 and 3 year program that you can take since you are not a freshman. However, getting a pilot’s slot is very competitive. If you get in and get through the Academy, then you are more likely to get a pilot’s slot. However, like you said, you’d have to start from scratch.

My friend has over 3000 hrs of flight time, a phd. in aerospace engineering, is a certified paramedic, and knows Chinese. Would he be able to get a job with an airline like Delta, or Continental or AA?

The problem with this is that it sounds like something your friend needs to be inquiring about, rather than you. Why are you asking about this, instead of your friend doing the asking?

"Knowing Chinese" doesn’t tell us very much. Mandarin? Cantonese? Mongolian? There are several languages known as "Chinese." The only one that would be of any advantage in a career search is Mandarin, and that would not make much difference in applying for a piloting job.

The PhD in AE might work against your friend. He might do better just to mention his bachelor’s degree and not go into his graduate qualifications.

A person with all those credentials should be a good candidate for some aviation job, but the truth is that a person with a PhD in engineering would have to have a pretty solid career track going, unless he’s been in jail or recently suffered a head injury.

So it sounds like you should leave it up to your friend. He sounds pretty capable, and should be able to handle this without your help.

Recently i was called for an interview with this company. It was last wednesday, and in my opinion it went pretty well. I have heard that the larger the company, the longer the hiring process. Is that true in this case? Has anyone been hired by Honeywell? If so, how long did it take?

You ave been told rightly. It will take a longer time to have your opportunity fulfilled.

I would like to know what I have to do to become an Aerospace Engineer before I enroll in a 4 year University…What major would u recommend me to take in college???
Thankx 4 ur time guys =]

Get you Associates in Physics. Or another Science, like Geology if it’s offered, but Physics is most often the science applied to the Aerospace profession.

What are the chances of an Aerospace engineer with a Ph.d degree to work at NASA(any section but preferebly the design section)?

let’s say he\she got his\her Ph.d from a good American University.

Thanx

You would be better off applying for jobs at one of the many companies that subcontract for NASA. Any of the big areospace companies will do.

Areospace/Astromech design is one of the least likely positions a new Ph.D can expect to get,unless she already had done substantial work in this area previously. Working at Nasa aint what it used to be.

i am the beginner of aerospace, does anybody could recommend me a book with easy but clear english for introduction or fundenmatel of Space?

i have several english books for space, but it seems hard to understand for a beginner, specially i am not native english speaker.

for example, the book of ‘introduction of flight’ written by John.D:Anderson is quite great! the language is simple, but the structure and content of book are very good, it is easy to be understood.

does anybody can recommend a book for space as great as John,D.Anderson ?!

Neil De Grasse Tyson is one of the best;

Good Luck……

"Is there a link between projects going bad and someone on board who has a bad attitude and is a bully?"
Yahoo answerer :
"Yes, there is. And that somebody is usually somewhere in the management chain. (And it doesn’t hurt if they aren’t too bright)Doug Source(s):Lots of years with lots of high-tech and aerospace companies."

Thanks
Terrific

Maybe, but only in the short term. If you do a good job, your efforts will eventually be recognized. In fact, I’ve found that most workers don’t do a very good job. Therefore, when one does, it is quite apparent early on.

The "bad apple" is recognized more readily than you might think.

Is this true?

And what would an aerospace engineer be able to DO in space?

You’ll be able to do nothing in Space in AE.

Get your Degree in Astronautics, Physics or higher Mathematics and then you’ll get some action in the Industry.

If you wanna be real Astronaut you need Military experience but even then you need to a be a real lucky someone to be chosen into the program.

I am unsure about which major I should do in college- architectural engineering or aerospace engineering. On the one hand I would really like to work for companies like Nasa and Lockheed Martin and I am very interested in aircraft and spacecraft. On the other hand, I would also like to design buildings and possibly be an architect. Which major will land me a higher paid job in the future, and what are the average salaries for both majors? Also would I be able to major in aerospace engineering and minor in architectural engineering, or vice-versa?

I would do the aerospace. My friend recently graduated this past December and he got a job with Lockheed Martin and he started out making 60,000, that is in VA. He had to get a security clearance and it took about a month for everything to clear. He did not have an aerospace degree he had a Mechanical Engineering degree, but they have him working with the Aero people. He does the design work in Pro/E and something else maybe Catia, I think. The coursework between aero and Mechanical is very similar, it only differs by about 6 to 8 classes. The Architectual degree is also pretty good you can probably get a job making around 50,000, but it depends on your location. And like Christopher said you can probably minor very easily. You might even be able to double major. I know a few people that have done that and still finished in 4 years, but it is very difficult. I also completely agree with Samuel about doing mechanical engineering. I am kinda impartial because that is what I am in school for, but you can do the aero thing, civil, architecture, or even a little electrical. The electrical would be in the MEMS field micro electrical mechanical systems. Mechanical is very versatile.
