Engineers+at+Work

I am an aerospace engineer working for the Major Range and Test Facility Base in Point Mugu California. I am the director of experimental flight testing branch. My usual work day lasts from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm with a hour break at 12:00 for lunch. I spent six years in college majoring in aerospace engineering at Clarkson university in Potsdam New York. I had a perfect 4.0 GPA at the end of each year. After graduating I passed the Professional Engineer Licensee exam with a perfect score. As the director of experimental flight testing I oversee the building and testing of new flying technology. Specifically we work on how to make flying easier, safer, and more precise. So usually I come to work and come together with my co-workers to brainstorm new ideas to revolutionize flight. Either we have specific instructions on what to work on or we just go on our own. Once we have found a idea that is possible the drafters will get to work on sketching the new design. I must watch over the whole project and make sure everything is correct. Then we will send the designs to the shop which is where they make the product. After receiving it back I inspect it for flaws or incorrect measures. After its all checked out we install it into the plane and run test. My job then is to show these results and the design to the department head. If the project is good he signs it and sends it into the plane production companies which manufacture it. But if they are rejected we need to redesign it and go through the whole process again. This happens over a period of months but that is what I regularly do. My future looks very stable and good. This is because there will be a 10% increase in aerospace engineering, meaning that there will be more and better paying jobs open to me. Also there seems to be a rising need in the military engineering. So jobs will be open in my field giving me more opportunities. The best part is the number of people majoring in aerospace engineering is increasing so the demand will be met and the pay in this field will increase. The future is looking bright for me because of all these growths in the field are going to make aerospace engineering a better job. || I am a Biomedical Engineer at a large engineering firm in Aspen, Colorado. I work in designing and manufacturing, so basically its my job to make something that can better human health and life. My day usually begins at around 9:00 and ends at about 4:30 and a break for lunch from 12:00 to 1:00. I spent four years in school at Stanford University where i graduated with a 4.0 GPA and masters in Biomedical Engineering. After graduating i began working in a small engineering firm in California where i quickly moved up the ranks to a manager. I used my connections and skills as well as my job as a stepping stone to my current job with a much larger more commercial firm in Aspen Colorado. As a director of design and manufacturing I oversee all the creation and production of new and old products. I help to make sure products are safe and do not have design flaws. Im currently working on a device that can check all bodiy functions and levels with a simple finger prick like a diabetes meter. When we first started this project we came together as a group and brainstormed ideas that would be possible for this device. Once we were finished we would eliminate all the bad ideas, until we only had one left. Then we break into our specialized groups and start developing our parts. Once all the groups are finished we came together and assembly the entire product. We check if for flaws and incorrect measures as well as any damages to parts. After the product passes inspection we bring it to the final phase of testing the product. If all goes well then the product moves on to distribution, if not we restart the process. This process is quite long, but the out come is usually worth it. My future in biomedical engineering looks stable and demanding. There is a shortage of engineers and my work will always been need. Not only will i have opportunities with firms and engineering companies, but also with medical companies due to the demand for biomedical engineers. With such a large demand and a shortage of engineers my future as a biomedical engineer looks very good. || I am a computer engineer manager at a major computer company in California. There I design, develop, test, and evaluate software and systems that gets your computer up and running. Having spent 4 years at Phoneix University, majoring in Science Technology, I have learned many things to help me do this kind of work.I My day starts around 6 AM to around 7:30 PM. All in that time Im never sitting down, I am always busy. There are meetings that I have to attend to, make phone calls and send E-mails out to various companys and people. Also I have to make time to sit and design new software for new ideas and supervise my employers to see if they are getting the job done correct. Near the end of my day I finally have some time to kind of relax, but still working hard. I send and reply to E-mails from the chairman and discuss what can we do better here or what should we change. Also discuss new designs and give a presentation to show what the new software would look like. My plans for the future, my goal is to be the chairman of my own company and make computer engineering the new way of the worlds technology. || I am an Industrial engineer who is interning at these companies currently which are called the the Florida Industrial Scale Co. and the West Coast Florida Industrial Construction Co. in Longwood, Fl, There I learned many things from the industrial field that will help me in the long run. I start off my day waking up at 6 and entering at 7:30 where I would set up my schedule for the day. Then I would go to a couple of meetings to discuss what we are going to do with what we have in storage. Then I have lunch at 11:30. After lunch I go in to the line and have some fun on the machines (just kidding). Yes, while on the line I manufacture various things. After I'm done I punch out at 4. I go straight to school till 6:30 and then have "me time" the rest of the day. During my "me time" I do various of things such as hanging with friends, going to the movies, playing video games, etc. Also I am very strong in math, so I help many of my classmates with their work. They help me in my weaker fields. Right now, I love my job because of my income that leads to my Dodge Viper and my many travels around the world. My plan for the future is to continue in this field and rapidly move up the charts until I am on top of a very elite company. I wuold like an outstanding salary and to spend alot of time with the wife and kids. My goal is to live in a marvelous estate along the coast of Florida.I envision my family eating dinner along the beach. My day will end when I lay down next to my beautiful wife and do it all over again the next day. ||
