Hav you ever wondered how militaries in world target  their enemies who are hundereds of miles away from  them? Use of modern weapon systerns has revolutionised the concept of warfare. Technology as a force multiplier, provides the competitive and cutting edge. The technology of guided missiles ellcompasses the r-tiultiple streams of engineering. technology and applied sciences. A number of factors are responsible for the successful launcti of missiles. 'These involve coordination of a variety of subsystems. In this series I have attempted to give a bird's-eye view of the interaction of rnany specialisations-aeronautics; mechanical, chemical arid n.letallurgical engineering; electronics; computers; chemistry, physics and mathematics. An effort has been made to familiarize the reader with some of the oft-used terminologies connected with missiles. By describing in simple terms, the underlying principles in the building and launching of missile like propulsion, guidance and contr

Education: BS, Mechanical Engineering, University of Akron Job Description: Aerospace Technologist, working in mission control as a propulsion systems engineer, and working with astronauts to solve in-flight propulsion problems. Advice to Students: "Polish up on your presentation skills, your communications skills. Learn how to learn; work hard while you're in college. It's four or five short years of intense studying and sheer excruciating pain, but it's going to pay you off for the next forty, fifty, or however many years you decide to work after you graduate." Comments: Melinda feels that one of the best things in her education was the co-op work program -- in fact, she says that without her co-op experience she wouldn't be at NASA today.
