Abstract for the conference program

A self-professed nerd always imagined that he would work in the computer or information technology industries, but by luck ended up with a career as an aerospace engineer. Despite a lack of formal training in aerospace, the fundamentals of an engineering education laid the path for a successful career. Vu will describe the products that are designed and built at Gulfstream and explain part of the engineering organization. He will then go through an example of the types of problems that he encountered in his work and what aspects of his education were necessary for the workplace. He will discuss what parts of the school experience were most useful to him as an engineer and what aspects could be useful to students who are considering a career in engineering.
