This week didn’t
stand out much as an interesting or otherwise not. The longer I hang around
these aerospace people, the more I feel like an outlier. Everyone has devoted
significant time and energy towards their major before they even started here.
To say it is intimidating is an understatement but at least I know that all
aerospace knowledge I acquire is from exclusively MTSU and I can accurately
gauge the quality of my education here.
On the topic of
intimidation, the number of pro pilots here compared to any other major
imaginable is astounding. In most of my aerospace classes, the pro pilots are
the largest group by significant margins which really leads to difficulty in
finding people to socialize with within my own major. I’ve really thought over this
whole UAS club and I think that’s the only way I’ll be making any UAS friends
outside of class. This club really seems to be a great tool to use to further
my experience in the field and with some of the projects that they have in the
works, it really strikes me as another robotics team kind of experience that I
had in high school.
I feel like it’s
also kind of interesting that many people talk about aerospace in the sense
that it is one giant team sport. All the different little sects work together
for a common goal and that everyone more or less works together but this just
isn’t the case for the UAS people. We have a set of objectives that are about
as separate from the rest as it gets which I find interesting.
