On wed. the 22 one of the cheif engineers of the redesign of the space  
shuutle spoke in the FAU engineering building. All were welcome but  
99.9% of the audience were student engineers. 
. 
Perhaps the most important part of the lecture were a few details on  
the shear effort and things accomplished during the two year redisign  
(which included every system of the shuttle). 
. 
He also stated that very soon NASA will be looking for new/just  
graduated engineers to fill the multitude of retiring Apollo engineers.  
. 
If you are to soon to graduate from high school and want to someday  
work for NASA the best course is to go to engineering school of course,  
but to also coop. Meaning that you would work for NASA during several  
summers. According to the speaker, this almost gurantees a job with the  
administration. 
 
Contact the coop office of your chosen engineering school.
