      That’s a good question.
      Engineers generally work in teams, so that you are responsible for some part of a project, but must work with others to make sure all the parts work together.
      The person in charge has a big responsibility to make sure that everything comes together, and on time. So he or she needs to know enough about all the details to make that happen. That’s a challenge.
      One interesting project I’d love is removing junk from Space. There are lots of dead satellites up there, going around and around. We need to start taking them down, but it’s difficult to capture and control them. So I’d love to be in charge of that.
