CenturionHow useful is the StandOut Connect Program?
I'm currently a high school junior and I got accepted to StandOut Connect's 2025 Summer Cohort program. Tuition is a hefty $2,950, but you're guaranteed an internship after the program is over for mentors such as alumni from Ivy League/top schools. As someone interested in aerospace engineering, and is not a U.S. Citizen, I figured this would be a great opportunity to gain experience as I'm not eligible to apply to NASA internships. This program is stated to have an 11% acceptance rate, but I'm not sure if it's worth it for college applications for how much needed to pay.

What major should I apply with?
Hi, I'm in 11th grade and I am unsure on what major path to follow. Im conflicted between computer science and accounting. I am more determined to achieve success in my future job and am not sure which will provide the most support. Throughout high schoolI have mostly focused on CS. Im not CRAZY about it I do enjoy it. Accounting on the other hand I just did some research and it seemed intriguing and the jobs looked promising. How do I know what majors to aply for colleges? Because some will be difficult than others. Im also open doing another major like Aerospace

Where should I email or contact for engineering internships or shadowing in Jonesboro, Arkansas?
I am a 10th-grade student very invested in STEM, primarily engineering passion. I am a part of the Vex Robotics program and was to find anyone I could shadow to explore my passions further. I am extremely interested in aerospace engineering and have difficulty finding anyone of that genre in my area. A business or even specific people would be very helpful! Thank you!

What advice would you give to a high school junior looking to find an internship in their field of interest?
I'm currently an 11th grader in Texas, and it's been tough for me to find an internship relating to my field of interest (aerospace engineering). Although I have gotten recommendations from sources/connections, applying for them has been tough for me because most require me to be a U.S. Citizen (i.e. NASA). I'm currently in the PLTW Principles of Engineering class and plan on taking PLTW Aerospace Engineering and PLTW Engineering Design & Development next year. I want to apply the skills I've learned in my classes to real-life experiences but not sure what resources would help me achieve this.

Questions for an Aerospace Engineer:
Questions for an Aerospace Engineer: What does the day of an Aerospace Engineer look like (more in-depth)? What are the average hours per week? Is there mandatory over-time? Is this a very creative job? Or is it your assignment very structured? Is the job very dynamic? Is there always a new assignment to work on? Is it so difficult that you need to do research outside of work (internet, seeking another professional, books, etc.) or do the job training & academic education suffice? What do they mainly ask at an interview? Does NASA offer apprenticeships?

I'm Looking To learn more about Aerospace Engineering
I'm currently a student at Job Corps in NH and am looking to help design the next generation of Aircraft and space exploration rockets for the United States. I'm taking Adv. manufacturing where my Teacher was a defense contractor and is very knowledgeable about aerospace engineering and has been very informative about the concepts I had a good grasp on but needed more in-depth info on, I want to work in this field because it's my passion. I know I need at least a bachelor's degree and with scholarships I can easily get that done, but from there I do not know where to go, where would I start looking for work? What skills should I continue to develop or start developing now? Where should I consider living for the best chance of being hired? If anyone is willing to help me figure out more on this field and how would be best to get into it I would be very grateful, nonetheless thank you very much for reading this post
