The Mission: Defying Gravity
Think of an airplane as a giant, flying bird made of millions of metal parts. Your job is to make sure that bird is strong enough to fly through storms but light enough to stay in the air without using too much fuel. As a Structural Engineer, you analyze the 'bones' of the airplane (the wings and the body) to ensure they never break, even under extreme pressure. You help safely transport millions of people across oceans.
