 My first small step was getting into Purdue University. My second small step was getting into the cooperative education program. My third small step was getting my co-op job at NASA Johnson Space Center. My giant leap was finding my career in space engineering. That's how I create giant leaps for astronauts going to the moon and Mars. My name is Amy Ross. I got my bachelor's in mechanical engineering in 1994. My master's in mechanical engineering in 1996.
