Glossary
In just over 100 years, scientists and engineers working in the aerospace industry have made enormous contributions to our quality of life, our security and our knowledge of the universe.

As a result of technical mastery, the phrase "It’s not rocket science" has become the verbal shorthand for tasks that are not complicated since the implication, of course, is that rocket science is complicated. The aerospace industry, with its impressive accomplishments, has fostered that public image. It requires intelligent, highly-trained and visionary technical engineering teams to develop the commercial jetliners, high performance fighter planes, rockets and robotic planetary explorers that are commonplace today.

The aerospace industry offers a range of possibilities and career paths for engineers. From design to operations, from general aviation to the next heavy-lift launch vehicle, there are endless opportunities for you to contribute to the profession, to the advancement of aerospace technology and at the same time to experience a satisfying and productive career for yourself.

Whether just starting out in your career, looking to make a change into the aerospace industry, or looking to take your aerospace career to the next level, we wish you much sucess. And if you need a refresher, you can always revisit this module and all of the career resources it has to offer.
