One of the most important parts of the engineering process is ensuring that the product you’ve designed functions as intended and meets the customer’s needs. The exciting thing about the aerospace industry is that the final product typically flies! During this session, hear from AE alumni who have spent their careers working in ground and flight testing. They will share industry insight into the engineering test process, discuss what it takes to work in ground/flight test, and tell stories of exciting tests and lessons learned.
