I realized mechanical engineering doesn't much lend itself to missionary work.
I'm actually an engineer.
I wanted to be an engineer.
I'm an engineer.
I'm an engineer. I'm a techie, really.
What we look for are people that are technically competent. You need a background in a scientific field, whether it's as a scientist, an engineer, medical doctor, or, you know, a person that's in the military with some kind of technical background.
I don't know why I always liked aerospace engineering. I was in the 10th grade when I figured that's what I wanted to do.
I took the standpoint that the profession of technologist, a man who masters matter, is a masculine profession, if not the only masculine profession there is.
In 1955, I got my degree in electrical-mechanical engineering. I realised, however, that my interest was less in practical applications than in the understanding of the underlying theoretical structure, and I decided to learn physics.
McMaster had an engineering physics program and... one of the parts of it was lasers and electro-optics and I just said, 'Now doesn't that sound cool. I just got to do that.'
My dad was an electrical engineer.
I'm not sure I'd be as successful as I am as a woman in a profession other than in technology. Because it tends to be a bit neutral. If you have the tools, if you can code, it's a lot more sort of merit and recognizes talent.
If you want to work in engineering and to have an impact that's global, come work in the aerospace sector.
I preferred to use mathematics in some practical fashion and thought that meteorology sounded promising.
I am an engineer and belong to a family of engineers and Cas.
