Aerospace Engineering is a professional engineering discipline associated with the design and development of aircrafts, spacecrafts and missiles. It has two major and overlapping branches - Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering. Aeronautics is the branch that deals with the design, development and operation of flight vehicles within Earth's atmosphere. Whereas, Astronautics is the domain specialising in travel beyond Earth's atmosphere.

Aircrafts and spacecrafts are highly engineered products of complex technological disciplines such as aerodynamics, material science electronics and more. Thus, Aerospace Engineering as a professional field lies at the interaction of these technological domains.

Due to various technically intensive challenges, it is essential to have a robust understanding of the required subjects before starting your Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering. Following are the subjects required for Bachelor's in Aerospace Engineering:

• Chemistry
