Aerospace Engineering
Design, analyze,
model, simulate,
and test aircraft,
spacecraft,
satellites, missiles,
and rockets
This field also
focuses on
electronics and
computer
technology rather
than just physical
dynamics.
Aerospace Engineering
Includes more than just
designing aircraft
Aerospace deals with
the motion of flight
outside and inside the
Earths atmosphere
This includes motion
of satellites, control
systems in unmanned
aircraft, and even
machines and tools
created specifically for
the exploration of
space like the Mars
Rover

Chemical Engineers use
their knowledge of
chemistry to discover and
manufacture better
plastics, paints, fuels,
fibers, medicines and all
other kinds of chemicals,
by carrying out chemical
reactions and
purifications.
