Mechanical Engineering

Post by amyc »

Are you interested in building things? Do you enjoy testing parts and figuring out how to ensure things "work" as they should? Do you have an interest in spacecraft?

We've posted a profile of Marc Church, a Senior Mechanical Engineer at Lockheed Martin, on the Science Buddies blog:

Timothy,

The interview linked above is from earlier this year and I'm not sure that Marc is still answering questions. However, he definitely won't see questions posted here in this thread. You could try reposting them at the bottom of the interview page (look for the "Leave a Comment" heading in red), or you can look at his answers to previous questions here:
