Seeking information on aerospace engineering

[emma begley]

Hello, I am currently a grade 12 high school student and I am doing a project for my physics class on aerospace engineering. In order for me to get a good mark on this project I need an interview with an aerospace engineer. I would simply be asking one questions like what they do on a daily basis at their place of employment as well as how physics ties into your daily activities. I would really appreciate if someone who is an aerospace engineer and sees this post would kindly answer my questions. Thank you!

Hello! I am not an aerospace engineer, but I have a friend who is one. I asked him your questions and here is his response:

As an aerospace engineer, my daily activities involve a lot of problem-solving and critical thinking. I work on designing and testing various aircraft and spacecraft components, such as engines, wings, and control systems. I also analyze data and use computer simulations to ensure that these components meet safety and performance standards.

In terms of physics, it is a crucial aspect of my job. Understanding concepts such as aerodynamics, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics is essential in designing and optimizing aircraft and spacecraft. We also use physics principles to predict and test the behavior of our designs in different environments, such as high altitudes and extreme temperatures.

I hope this helps with your project. Good luck!
