She applied for a high school NASA internship and was thrilled to be chosen to work in electrical engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was the youngest student,\u201d said Kowalewski. \u201cI had just made the cut because I turned 16 two weeks before the deadline. Most high schoolers were juniors going into their senior year, but I was a sophomore going into my junior year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, Kowalewski took every NASA internship opportunity available. She earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Akron while simultaneously working at Glenn through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/careers\/pathways\">Pathways<\/a> program. Kowalewski graduated in 2020 and found herself facing challenges while trying to jump into her career during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t get to participate in a graduation ceremony,\u201d said Kowalewski. \u201cWorking from home during the pandemic was more stressful than I expected it to be. Not being able to see anyone or get my hands on the things I was designing right away was really nerve-wracking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things have been much better since Kowalewski was able to return onsite at NASA Glenn. For the past five years, she has been designing the motor controllers for various modifications of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/specials\/X57\/\">X-57 Maxwell<\/a>, NASA\u2019s first all-electric aircraft. The cruise motor controllers will be critical for providing power to the X-57\u2019s motors when the aircraft takes to the skies later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have a multifacited team,\u201d said Kowalewski. \u201cI design the circuit boards and manage the electrical mechanical integratation. The mechanical, thermal, software, and other electrical engineers and I all work together to test it and put it together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kowalewski designed the circuit boards to be passively cooled through air cooling rather than fluid cooling. This is unique to these designs, as this method is more efficient and saves weight on the aircraft. She also designed motor controllers for multiple configurations of the aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve done the whole range on that motor controller. We created concept designs, drew it out on paper, an d tested it,\u201d said Kowalewski. \u201cWe continued until we had a final product and sent it out for flight, which was a big accomplishment for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a decade of experience with NASA Glenn, Kowalewski doesn\u2019t want to be an astronaut anymore. While chasing her dream of becoming the next Sally Ride, she found her true passion in electrical engineering and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJust stay curious,\u201d said Kowalewski. \u201cFind something that interests you \u2014 something you\u2019re curious about and will never get tired of learning about \u2014 and pursue that. If you go after a job that you feel obligated to or for the money, it won\u2019t feel good later down the road. Whether it\u2019s STEM related or not, find something that makes you curious, and you\u2019ll be happier in the long run.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>NASA is in a Golden Era of aeronautics and space exploration.
