Day In My Life as a NASA Engineer

Hi friends!
Welcome to a day in my life as a NASA Engineer. I filmed this video before the start of the pandemic which now serves as a glimpse of life before COVID.
By the way, I had already been cleared to film in this lab for a TV show by my direct supervisor which is why I am able to show it. Unfortunately, due to COVID, the shoot was cancelled and became what are now my "Electric Kat" segments on CBS "Mission Unstoppable".

Awesome video! I'm a CS freshman and currently working towards getting an internship at NASA, even if I don't get it this year there is always the next. I started back in school at 28 so a little late to the game, it works though because I'm more driven than before and more sure of what I want to do. Loved seeing the innerworkings of your day to day, thanks for sharing! Even though I know the rover isn't small it's always surprising seeing how big it actually is!

[@necolin]

Thinking of entering an engineering program. Im 21 so feel a little old compared to the rest of the people who will be in the class, any advice?

[@hellohi6882]

@@necolin you're not old at all

[@jqthebest1]

@@necolin engineering is one of those majors where there are alot of older people. Plus people sometimes take there time and are in the degree program Longer so your honestly not gonna feel old

[@FishizzleBoy]

Hey man I’m 27, I’m planning on going back as well. How do you like the experience?

[@emreatay9761]

@AJ Sap Can u get us some updates bro ? I am also a CS freshman and would like to follow a similar path.

[@ashleynavarro8228]

Just want to let you know you’re an inspiration to me! I’m a teen mom and currently struggling to balance life-school but I’m not giving up on my myself and my goals :)

[@frances6091]

That’s so admirable!! You got this, keep going!

[@Stargirl-7]

you can do it!

[@Theteaspot5]

My daughter is in 7th Grade and wants to be an engineer and work for NASA. We live in Virginia and there’s a NASA office about 20 mins from home. Thank you for being a great female role model in the field and for the videos

[@OGEGODBYANNAPOLIS]

What a comfy workspace. My dream would be to work there. I'm happy and glad you made it.

[@KutloanoLetsebe]

I hope you and me make it😢

[@theharshtruthoutthere]

@@KutloanoLetsebe There is a story about “sky daddy” in whom so many believe. What I have to say about it is this: it is wise to come out ones imaginations. take finally a conscious look into the clouds, there is nobody up there. The Kingdom of GOD is further up, beyond the class dome in under which we all live. ain+t that the only reason why NASA sends its rockets up there, to break the dome which mankind believes to exist not. Well if our enemies believe, why shouldn't we?

[@marryjoyandrada5512]

Hello Ms. Katya, I am an electrical engineer and you are such an inspiration for girls.

[@evilxtra9877]

I’m heading to college soon for engineering. I have a long path ahead of me, but thinking one day I could work on a program that will push humanity forward in our understanding and exploration of our universe…makes it all worth it

[@Network-yp8de]

it feels so nice to know that other people are driven by the idea of understanding our universe too

[@sarahyoung646]

This is my first introduction to you, and I'm really glad you decided to repost this. It's great to hear your excitement about the work!

[@JoseGarcia-lf4gx]

Im here 23 currently in school for electrical technology and after done with that onto electrical engineering. And thanks to your videos i get more inspiration

[@damarishoffmann_]

Eres inspiración gracias Kat orgullo mexicano 🇲🇽 !

[@patriciarascon3666]

Hi Kat, I have a question, What software so you use to do the DFMEA? I’m trying to find a friendly software but i can’t find it

[@korg01w]

No entiendo nada de Ingles pero estoy aquí y me suscribí a tu canal con todo el deseo de aprender Ingles y mirando videos relacionados al tema de ingeniería. Supongo que hablas español., cual era tu labor en la Nasa?

[@gloria7r]

You go girl! more power to you. Intelligent, educated, bilingual, latina (mexicana), guapa, poise!!!

[@oops9757]

I’m majoring in mechanical engineering, looking to minor in aerospace so that I could become an aerospace engineer. My dream career is to become an engineer for NASA!

[@scarlettmauner475]

about to graduate and regretting that i did not pursue aerospace engineering. i was pressured into doing law by my family and now have no desire to go to law school so i’m stuck :/ if i had more time and money i’d go back and change my major.

[@Scriabinfan593]

I thought I wanted to be a doctor and now at 21 I’m about to graduate with a Biochem degree and a CS minor. I’ve always been a huge NASA nerd and lover but I just never thought I would fit in at such a place. Now I’m deciding to pursue a masters in CS in hopes of being employed at NASA in the future. Idk if this will work out, but I guess I won’t know unless I try.

[@Luisilluminati210]

Beautiful

[@disneyfun8208]

You have to be at work at 9?? That’s sooo gooddd!! And you end at 6:30 and have the rest of the day to yourself??! I thought people who worked at big places like NASA worked all day

[@dogethsamurai2390]

Thank you the work time is very flexible and she would work on project once she got to her office. She is working on the mars landing rover 2022 and it's big project for her since it's her first projcet. then after work she leave the office and head home.

[@hafsasadiya7134]

major doubt- im planning on taking up astrophysicist as my career and had plans on applying for nasa but here's the plot twist- u gotta have a citizenship which i clearly don't. Could you please advice me on what i can do as an alternative and still take up astrophysicist as my career?

[@jocabedm.l.5679]

Hola, es muy interesante. Como será el trabajo de un ingeniero geologo en la NASA?

[@OddSwiftGoose]

I keep wondering and checking if NASA needs any graphic designers
