Week Eight

             After a dry spell of work in ISM, the tides have finally turned. I branched out from Emerson and contacted an engineer that I know through engineering club. In engineering club I am apart of a group that is building a massive rocket that we will launch at Washington D.C. and possibly in England. The lead engineer of this group was an engineer at Boeing, so I reached out to him, and set up an interview after next Wednesday’s meeting. I am hoping that after the interview that he will have more names to contact since Emerson is now a dead end.
            This past week I also wrote my last research assessment, and I did it over weapons engineers. I have never heard of a weapons engineer, and while I was looking up articles, I happened stumbled upon it. The exciting thing however is the fact that a weapons engineer is exactly what I want to do when I get out of college. However, since no colleges offer it as a major, I would still have to major in mechanical engineering. This is not bad thing actually because mechanical engineer is such a broad major I have more options with it. Overall, it was good to read the article because I was able to double check that I am on track for success.
