Astronautical Engineering has become a very important part of our society and continues to grow.
"Astronautical engineers design aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and missiles. In addition, they test prototypes to make sure that they function according to design. engineers are employed in industries whose workers design or build aircraft, missiles, systems for national defense, or spacecraft. Astronautical engineers are employed primarily in analysis and design, manufacturing, industries that perform research and development, and the federal government." - U.S. Department of Labor
