what is aerospace engineering?
Aerospace Engineering is the use of advanced science and technology in the design and development of flight vehicles and their propulsion systems. 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.
