Q: Some universities and colleges offer cooperative programs or internships for students. These programs pair you with experienced members in the aerospace engineering industry to allow you to gain practical experience and exposure to the professional environment while completing your degree. Completing a co-op or internship will also provide you the opportunity to network and acquire professional references. Doing an apprenticeship will provide you with valuable experience as an aerospace engineer. Not only will you learn the basic requirements of the job, but you’ll also be able to pick up tips and tricks from someone who knows all the ins and outs of aerospace engineering. Several of the NASA field centers offer apprenticeship programs, lasting from 10 weeks to five years.  For NASA apprenticeships, you must be in the process of obtaining, or already have, a degree in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.  You’ll need a GPA of 3.0 or higher and you must be a U.S. citizen or a legal permanent resident. You can apply online on the NASA website. You may find that it’s easier to become a technician in the field of aerospace engineering. Consider taking a position as a technician to gain valuable experience and make connections in the industry. You may even be able to work as a technician part time while you’re finishing your studies, as less education is required for this position. There are several societies and organizations you can join, such as the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), SAE International, and the Sigma Gamma Tau: National Aerospace Engineering Honor Society. You’ll be able to attend industry events, receive trade publications, and even visit a career center specifically targeted toward engineers.  The AIAA only charges a $25 membership fee for students, while the SAE membership ranges from $95-$285, depending on the benefits.  The Sigma Gamma Tau: National Aerospace Engineering Honor Society doesn’t charge a membership fee, although you must have completed three semesters of work toward a Bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering. A great way to gain experience and make connections is to find a mentor in the industry of aerospace engineering. If you have a good relationship with one of your professors or supervisors of your internship, co-op, or apprenticeship, talk to them about becoming your mentor.  The AIAA as well as the Architecture, Construction, and Engineering (ACE) Mentor Program of America can also help pair you up with a mentor in the industry. Send an email to or speak with the person you’d like to become your mentor. Say something like, “I really admire your dedication to and knowledge of aerospace engineering. I’m looking for a mentor in the industry to help me learn the ropes and make connections. Would you be interested in, and have the time to, be my mentor?”
A: Complete a summer co-op or internship. Apply for an apprenticeship. Work as an aerospace engineer technician. Join professional societies and organizations. Find a mentor in the industry.

Article: The number of t-shirt logos you want to use will determine the size of your blanket. However, if you want a bigger quilt and you don't have enough t-shirts, you can make blocks out of the plain fabric on the back of your t-shirt or buy patterned cotton fabric. Approximately 12 t-shirts (3 by 4 blocks) will make a throw sized blanket. 20 shirts (4 by 5 blocks) will make a twin bed-sized quilt. 30 shirts (5 by 6 blocks) will make a double-sized quilt. 36 shirts (6 by 6 blocks) will make a queen-sized quilt and 42 shirts (6 by 7 blocks) will make a king-sized quilt. Treat any stains before you throw them in the wash. It will be hard to remove deep stains later on in the process. The amount you need will depend upon the size of t-shirt quilt you would like. You want to have 2.5 inch (6.4 cm) borders and 2 inch (5.1 cm) pieces for sashing. Choose something that either matches your décor or matches your t-shirts. You may also want to use the same fabric for the back of your blanket. Use cold water and low heat in the washer and dryer to ensure dark colors do not fade. Decide if your block designs will fit in a 12 by 12 inch block or if they need to be 14 by 14 inch blocks. All the blocks need to be the same size. You will adhere this to the back of your t-shirt squares to keep your blanket squares from stretching. Buy enough to have approximately 17 inch (43.2 cm) squares of interfacing for all of your blanket blocks.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Sift through your old t-shirts to see how many you want to use. Wash your shirts. Buy cotton jersey fabric for your sashing and interfacing. Wash your cotton jersey fabric. Measure your t-shirt logos. Buy fusible interfacing.

Q: Although each battle facility has its own set of rules, the following rules apply to all facilities:  Eggs are not allowed. In addition, the following Legendary Pokémon are ineligible to participate – Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Celebi, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Jirachi and Deoxys. No duplicate items: Pokémon registered for a challenge cannot be holding two of the same item. For example, if you have a Pikachu and Electrike in your team, they both cannot be holding a Magnet. As long as this rule is observed, all items are allowed. No money or experience (Exp.) points will be awarded after a battle. Also, any Pokémon encountered in a facility will not be recorded in the Pokédex, even if you have never seen it before. The use of your Bag and any items included are prohibited during battle. Give your Pokémon any necessary items before beginning a challenge. Because the Battle Frontier is a dynamic area with different facilities and battling rules, you need to ensure that you have Pokémon specially trained for each facility. They need to have the proper Natures and moves, as well as any helpful Abilities. It is also advantageous to have your Pokémon EV trained. Find out more about EV training here: How to EV Train your Pokémon In order to face the Frontier Brain of a facility, you will need to achieve certain winning streaks. Depending on the facility, this may entail winning battles consecutively, or clearing a set amount of rooms or floors for each challenge. Because keeping a winning streak alive is a daunting task, it may take a while before you can encounter a Frontier Brain for either the Silver or Gold Symbol challenge. Don’t give up! Should you earn all 7 Gold Symbols, your Trainer card will go up in rank. BP are awarded after each challenge, and the amount awarded will depend on the facility and how well you battle. These BP can be exchanged at the Exchange Service Corner for items, vitamins, or Secret Base decorations. Use your BP to purchase helpful items that will aid you in your challenges.
A:
Know the Rules. Make sure your Pokémon are sufficiently prepared and trained. Persevere. Use your Battle Points (BP) wisely.
