=**Aerospace Engineer**=


 * After he graduated from Purdue University, Neil Armstrong decided to become an experimental research test pilot. He applied to the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautices High-Speed Flight Station at Edwards Air Force Base. There were no open spaces, so he started to work at the Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory . Later in life he left the Dryden Flight Research Center with a total of 2,450 flying hours in more than 50 types of aircraft. With this experience behind him, he decided to become a astronaut. On March 15, 1962 he was asked if he was interested in joining the NASA Astronaut Corps. They touched down on the moon at 20:17:39 UTC on July 20, 1969. He turned and set his left boot on the surface at 2:56 UTC July 21, 1969. He then said the famous quote "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." ||~ [[image:200px-Neil_Armstrong_pose.jpg]]

Neil Amstrong || Studying about Neil Armstrong, I learned that aerospace engineering is more than just flying to the moon. The field also includes designing and testing planes and rocket engines. I find myself most drawn to the design of planes. Mainly focusing on the engines of the planes. I have always been fascinated by how plane rockets work. I have discovered that they run on jet fuel which is not flammable. I would like to work on making them safer because birds tend to fly into them and they malfunction. This research project has helped me discover and research this feild of engineering which interestes me. || =**Architectural**=

|| || Albert Kahn was a pioneer in the field of mass production. He strove to create the perfect environment for mass produc-tion of strong stainless steel products. ||
 * Albert Kahn (1869-1942) was born in Rhaunen, Germany. He built the first steel in concrete frame buildings. His factories were known for designing architecture that was conducive to manufacturing. He paid close attention to structures with lighting and adequate ventilation.

gaining countless medals from NASA. Her achievements have been recognized around the world. During her career as a pilot she gained more that 1300 hours of flying in three different types of air crafts. She has more than 1208 hours of space time and is the veteran of five space flights. Her wealth of achievement has made her a very influential person with works in many fields. She has studied at some of the worlds top Universities and Colleges. Her work on the effects of simulated space flight on bone strength and fracture toughness have made her known throughout the world. || || Studying Bonnie J. Dunbar I noticed thatBiomedical Engineering is a field in which people can use both their knowledge of engineering and their knowledge of the human body in order to improve human life. This field is about making things that improve everyone's life. Its about designing and creating machines or tools that better peoples lives. This made me realized just how helpful I could be to the entire world just by become a Biomedical Engineer. I have always been a caring person and I enjoy and love helping people. By becoming a Biomedical engineer Icould help a lot of people and make the world a better place. Doing this project has shown me things and taught me things about Biomedical Engineering that Idid not know before. It showed my how much engineering appealed to me and how amazing of a career it could become. ||
 * Bonnie J. Dunbar was born on March 3, 1949 in Sunnyside, Washington. After graduating from Sunnyside High School, she attended the University of Washington and received a bachelors of science and a masters in ceramic engineering and a doctorate in Mechanical/Biomedical Engineering from the University of Houston. During her carrier Bonnie J. Dunbar gained a large amount of honors and awards including being inducted into the Women in Technology International Hall of Fame and

=**Computer**= =**Industrial**= as a Power Plant Engineer. She has been working in this company for 22 years. Then she worked Alabama Power for 4 years as a corprate Real estate and also Vice President. Now she is the CEO(Chief Executive Officer) and President at Gulf Power Co. in the great state of Georgia and has been there since 2003. || || Susan N. Story Contributed to the the field but she was well known for her massive donations to the field such as the Fund Raiser of 2008. This impacts my life in a big way because it shows that if you work hard and start off small, you can always make it big. I just hope that is me one day. ||
 * Steve Wozniak was born on August 11, 1950, in San Jose, CA. He was the computer whiz who created the Apple Computer company along with Steve Jobs in 1976. Together they created the first Apple personal computers and the Apple brand. Steve Wozniak left the Apple company in 1985. Since leaving the Apple franchise he has devoted his time to education and philanthropy. In 2009 he appeared on the hit TV Series "Dancing With the Stars". More information can be found in his autobiography, iWoz: From Computer Geek to Cult Icon. || [[image:steve_woz.jpg]] || Steve Wozniak has contrubuted to computer engineering because he was one of the creater of the Apple Company along with Steve Jobs. He was the computer wiz. . Steve Wozniak has touched my life because of him I have a iPod & the Apple desktop. He has made technology easier & exciting to use. ||
