During an aerospace engineer's undergraduate studies, he or she
will attend classes in aerodynamics, thermodynamics, structures,
stability and control, dynamics, design, propulsion, and computer
science, along with the related courses in mathematics, physics,
statistics, and chemistry required to understand the material. Upon
graduation, the new engineer will have acquired a basic knowledge
of how to build an aerospace vehicle. What only comes through
experience, however, is the understanding of the inevitable
imperfect process through which an aerospace vehicle is built. This
is the adventure of turning a basic concept into functional
hardware. Engineers working on a project must often deal with
ambiguous situations. They are routinely asked by management to
provide risk assessments of a project, yet even after careful
analysis uncertainties remain. The project must be accomplished
within finite limits of time and money. The question an engineer
answers is whether the solution to potential problem is worth the
cost and schedule delay, or if the solution might actually be worse
than the problem it is meant to solve. Review protocols are
established to ensure that an unknown has not been overlooked. But
these cannot protect against an unknown unknown.
