Aeronautical engineers can work on planes, helicopters, and fighter jets, all the way to boats and cars. Anything that involves aerodynamics is something you could see an aerospace engineer working on. Just like astronautics, aeronautics can be broken up into different subfields including aerodynamics, propulsion, controls and stability, and structures. In the video I discuss what kind of topics you will see in the various concentrations. Realize that aerospace engineering is a math heavy major but may have a wider range of career options than you may realize.

The aerospace engineering major can be broken up into two main branches, aeronautics and astronautics. This video will focus on astronautics which is the design of things that will go into space. Aerospace engineering students will all take the same classes in the beginning of college, then branch off into their respective concentration probably in their third year. Students in aerospace engineering will learn about many subsystems and components of a spacecraft including propulsion, guidance and navigation, thermal, attitude determination and control, and more. Undergrad will give you knowledge in all these topics but you will not be an expert in one. If you want to go into design work you may want to pursue a master's degree or you need to work your way up at your job. For those who are debating between aerospace engineering and mechanical engineering then be aware mechanical engineers have much more job opportunity. Mechanical engineers can work on spacecrafts but can also apply their knowledge to lots of other sectors, whereas aerospace engineers would focus solely on spacecrafts.
