Valentina, Tallahassee Added Saturday, August 8, 2015 at 10:43 PM Taking Mechanical Engineering and specializing in Aerospace Engineering I graduated high school in the spring of 2015, however, due to dual enrolling, I am 1 semester away from obtaining my AA degree. I want to do astronautical engineering specifically, however, I know that will shorten my possibilities in the work field so I was thinking I could obtain a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and specialize in Aerospace... Is this a good idea?

Armani, Hoboken Added Wednesday, February 25, 2015 at 6:45 PM I want to work on a fighter aircraft, what kind of engineering does it involve? Hello, I am a freshman in Farleigh Dickinson University aspiring to work on fighter aircraft for the U.S. government. What field of engineering should I consider? I was told mechanical engineering can relate, but than I found out that aerospace engineering is also relevant to the field. A degree in mechanical engineering seems to be offered more than aerospace. Also if I do obtain my degree in mechanical engineering is it still possible to obtain a career in which I work fighter aircraft? Answers 1 Jenn Dandrea, The Boeing Company Answered Wednesday, February 25, 2015 at 6:45 PM Hi Armani! That is really exciting that you know that you want to work on fighter jets!

Victoria , Sheffield, England Added Sunday, December 1, 2013 at 1:28 PM What do women bring to engineering? Hi, I'm an undergraduate Electrical Engineering student. I'm deciding whether or not Engineering is "for me" and if I should pursue a career in Engineering (statistically speaking, like half of all female graduates). I think the work environment deters some of us from engineering careers. What do you think women bring to the table in Engineering? Have you actually experienced sexism/doubt from your male colleagues at work? Thanks! Answers 1 Jenn Dandrea, The Boeing Company Answered Sunday, December 1, 2013 at 1:28 PM I have been in the professional field with my BSME for 9 years now. I don't even notice that I'm 10% of the workforce in engineering. On top of that, I work with mechanics, whom are like 95% male. Again, rarely even take note. There is nothing I've ...

Brandi , Ohio asked Jenn Dandrea, The Boeing Company Added Friday, March 30, 2012 at 7:46 AM Struggle with Mechanical/Arch Classes Hi, I'm in Mechanical and Architectural design in High School. It's a college course I get college credits for. Today we took our first big test on it, and we were reading a print with different views on it of a Cushion Wheel. I couldn't understand how to make out the plans and in 4/12 hours which is how long it was, I couldn't make out the views very well. Is it normal to not be able to read prints right away? Is there a way I can learn how to read prints better? If I can't get the perception ... Answers 1 Jenn Dandrea, The Boeing Company Answered Friday, March 30, 2012 at 7:46 AM Hi!
