sir.
I want to choose aerospace engineering and I'm really passionate about it.
Is it a worth taking branch and what is future scope for it.

Aerospace engineering is the main field of engineering that deals with the development of aircraft and spacecraft. It has two main and overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. Avionics engineering is similar, but deals with the electrical side of aerospace engineering. Aeronautical engineering was the original term for the field. As flight technology advances to include ships operating in outer space (astronautics), the broader term "aerospace engineering" has largely replaced it by common usage. Aerospace engineering, particularly the branch of astronautics, is often referred to colloquially as "rocket science".
The subjects that you would learn during the degree course in Aerospace Engineering are:-
1. Aerodynamics
2. Aircraft structures
3. Flight dynamics
4. Resistance of materials
5. Spatial stability
6. Astrodynamics
7. Control systems
8. Propulsion
9. Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics
10. Vibrations and Theory of Elasticity
11. Composite materials and materials for aircraft
12. Space systems
13. Computational Fluid Dynamics (Elective)
14. Digital signal processing (elective)
