What is aerospace engineering?

Aerospace Engineering is the design and development of flight vehicles and their propulsion systems using advanced science and technology. This includes the analysis and design of aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, turbojets, turbofans, ramjets, scramjets, and rockets. As an aerospace engineer, you will develop new technologies in control, navigation, and propulsion that will lead to future milestones in the history of flight.
