The further away his target, the harder he has to throw the ball. These adjustments are done naturally in his head, but true engineers and scientists would say the art of throwing a football revolves around physics.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_306\" style=\"width: 115px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/studentsuccess.utk.edu\/honors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2015\/01\/joshua_dobbs.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-306\" class=\"wp-image-306 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/studentsuccess.utk.edu\/honors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2015\/01\/joshua_dobbs.jpeg\" alt=\"Joshua Dobbs\" width=\"105\" height=\"145\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-306\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joshua Dobbs Aerospace Engineering<\/p><\/div>\n<p>At first, it may be a surprise when Dobbs, a Chancellor\u2019s Honors Program student and freshman quarterback at The University of Tennessee, explains he is studying aerospace engineering. Engineering programs are rigorous and adding football practice, film study, travel, and games to the mix might make some go into overload, or others to steer clear from attempting both the sport and choice of study altogether. But for Dobbs, physics and math are two of his favorite subjects. \u201cAerospace engineering is the perfect fit for the two subjects I enjoy most,\u201d he said. Dobbs has been fascinated with airplanes and flight for most of his life, and two events helped solidify his passion of aerospace. The first was a visit to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida when Dobbs was eight years old. Touring the facility, meeting astronauts, seeing the history, and riding in a flight simulator was a dream come true for him. Then at age 13, Dobbs participated in the Tuskegee Airman ACE Camp, where he went behind the scenes at the airport, got up close to the planes, talked with the mechanics, watched the air traffic control operations, and flew with an instructor in a single engine plane. \u201cPairing these experiences with my passion for math and science was a perfect match for a future career,\u201d Dobbs said. Maybe Dobbs will be living proof that the cores of aerospace engineering and football naturally fit together. After all, before college, Dobbs excelled both on and off the field.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mabe.utk.edu\/joshua-dobbs-dual-threat-engineer\/\">\u00a0Click here to continue reading the story<\/a>\u00a0from the College of Engineering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This recent 4.0 GPA, perfect-attendance high school graduate and quarterback was a shining star\u2013both on and off the field.
