The Dream Engineering Job

Posted January 05, 2012 11:00 AM

Ask an engineer to identify a favorite project and you may uncover a dream job. One engineer recently compared a NASA job to his job at Hershey Park, where the challenges vary from fabricating smooth-enough steel rails for roller coasters to modeling rides that "send 12-ton trains up 150 feet in less than 2 seconds." What ranks as your best, or longed-for, engineering role?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Mechanical Components, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Mechanical Components today.
