This underlines the notion that engineering does not exist in a vacuum, but rather is only useful insofar as it is utilized. The importance of computers in aerospace has only grown as the decades have passed, so full technology literacy both in utilization and in describing needs are important skills for the aerospace engineer (Bishop 1994).
One of the most important ethical considerations for aerospace engineers set forth in the Engineers Australia Code of Ethics (2000) is the necessity for engineers to keep their clients and/or employers well aware of any discoveries or developments that will have a negative impact on the project. Given the costs of development and production that most aircraft and spacecraft entail, such news is likely to be most unwelcome, yet it is the ethical obligation of the engineer to put the safety and integrity of the craft above all other concerns, even if the issues seem minor. One of the best ways to handle this with minimal conflict would be to have a clear plan and estimate of time and costs for addressing the issue when it is first brought up. In this way, the client/employer can be assured that the engineer is committed to fixing the problem, not merely causing delays and extra costs out of needless worry.
There are many other details of aerospace engineering that could be delved into, of course; ethical issues...
This is a large part of what makes aerospace engineering such an exciting and essential field -- the opportunities and applications of this branch of engineering are virtually limitless. Even this simple overview of certain skill sets and aerospace engineering careers makes it plain that there are many tasks and job choices in the field. With this abundance of choices, there is almost sure to be a niche for any young engineer stepping into the frontiers of man's capabilities.

When you begin a career, you may not be sure what skills you are lacking, so working part-time, taking an internship, or even volunteering could help prepare the student for what the job entails, and make them more comfortable as they begin their career. As the career develops, the engineer may begin to see skills that are lacking, such as English writing, or team building, or many other aspects of
Aerospace Engineering Plethora of Purposes Earthbound Vehicles Household Products Tasks that an aerospace engineer performs The Engineer The Scientist The Technician The Future of Aerospace Engineering Education New Products Challenges to Aerospace Engineering The purpose of this discussion is to explore the topic of aerospace engineering. We will begin by defining aerospace engineering and the plethora of purposes that it serves with earthbound vehicles and household supplies. We will then discuss the various tasks that an aerospace engineer team performs. This
Aviation / Aerospace Course # Management 311 Marketing The business of aircraft for defense requirements is quite different from the requirements of aircraft for civilian requirements. The sale of the material is also to different groups and all defense equipment has to be sold to governments whereas the civilian purpose aircraft have to be sold to airline transport companies. The objective of the government for military aircraft is simple -- the protection
This continues act as a barrier to entry for aerospace manufacturers located throughout Asia, specifically China, who are looking to capitalize on increased government spending on defense. The costs associated with hiring, retaining employees and funding security clearances for employees in this industry makes recruitment and retention critical. As a result of all these factors combined the barriers to entry are exceptionally high in the global military aerospace products
Engineering Materials: High Strength Steel and Bus Seat Frames The purpose of this paper is to conduct research and the review the findings. This paper seeks an understanding of the engineering material of high strength steel, the process in which it is made and the items it is used to build specifically that of bus seat frames. Over the course of the research, it is has been determined that high
Airbus is one of the leading producers of commercial and military aircraft in the world. The company has been successful because of the commitment it has to excellence and a global vision. The purpose of this discussion is to focus on the ways and which Airbus functions in various parts of the world given the differing cultures, political, economic and trade issues that differ from country to country. The research
