17. Space Operations: Managing Military Satellite Projects with Systems Engineering Manager, Joseph Reynolds-Grant
Episode 17
mercredi 17 juillet 2024 • Duration 23:59
Have you ever wondered what is up in the sky beyond the clouds? Depending on where you live, it may be hard to see the stars at night. Beyond the stars and outside of planet Earth, there are some really cool pieces of technology that have been sent to space and are collecting important information that helps us here on Earth.
Did you know that it takes a team of people to research, build, and work together to create these amazing pieces of technology? The person who oversees this team of people is called a systems engineer manager, which is the STEM Career we are learning about today. In today’s episode, we will hear from systems engineer manager Joseph Reynolds-Grant. Joseph is taking us behind the scenes of what it’s like to be a systems engineer manager, some of the cool projects he gets to work on, and so much more.

8. Machines & Problem-Solving- Behind the Scenes with Sr. Mechanical Engineer Tiffani Teachey
mercredi 27 mars 2024 • Duration 16:23
Questies, we are back for another amazing STEM career adventure! Before we embark on this new adventure, I have a question for you: have you ever had your microwave or another appliance stop working suddenly? I’ve had that to me and it was so frustrating because I couldn’t get the microwave door to close. I decided to investigate to see if I could figure out how the microwave works. I decided to take it apart and fix it!
Just like I investigated to see how the microwave works, there are STEM careers that involve analyzing machinery and understanding how things move to make entire machines work. Who does this kind of work? Mechanical engineers! In today’s episode, we are taken behind the scenes of what it’s like to be a Sr. Mechanical Engineer with Tiffani Teachey. This episode is filled with so many fun and exciting facts about Sr. Mechanical Engineers that I know you’re going to enjoy. Don't forget to join our STEM Career Quest Club so you can learn even more about what it’s like to be a Sr. Mechanical Engineer.
