According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, “Aerospace engineers design, test, and supervise the manufacture of aircraft, spacecraft, and missiles. . . Aerospace engineers develop new technologies for use in aviation, defense systems . . . They may also specialize in a particular type of aerospace product, such as commercial aircraft, military fighter jets, helicopters, spacecraft, or missiles and rockets and, may become experts in aerodynamics, thermodynamics . . .” (US Government). The idea of flying, building fighter jets, helicopters, spacecrafts or missiles has great appeal to me. Given my proficiency in physics and mathematics, I feel equipped to accomplish this goal. I passed both Physics and Mathematics in the General Certificate of Education at the Advanced Level. In addition, I am a member of the America Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) which provides useful career information and I am a member of the honors society Phi Theta Kappa. My cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.15 for my three semesters spent at Montgomery College serves as evidence of my focus and dedication to completing my degree. I am also part of the honors program (Calculus
