On the Leading Edge of Science
>> Monday, May 3, 2010
One word turns science fiction into science fact, turns ideas into achievements, and turns dreams into discoveries. 'How' is the word that makes all the difference. Engineers use science and math to solve tough problems like, How to explore the moon, How to conserve energy, and How to protect people from harm. As an engineer, you can work on various challenges, earn a great salary, live in different parts of the world, and even go out of this world - many astronauts are engineers! From the building where you go to school, to the clothes you wear and food you eat, to the things you do for fun, engineers have an impact on nearly everything around you. Lockheed Martin engineers build products ranging from GPS satellites and fingerprint scanners, to fighter jets and Mars rovers. Don't miss this opportunity to see exciting demonstrations and learn more about engineering. Come experience a virtual reality environment, discover what it is like to fly a fighter jet, operate a submarine periscope, race a robot, see a car that drives itself, and more!
