Aerospace engineering focuses the analysis, design and operation of vehicles and systems (e.g. rockets, spacecraft, re-entry vehicles, etc.) which involve space flight or the means of getting to and/or from space. Aerospace engineers gain significant education and experience in designing and analyzing systems for atmospheric and space environments.
