Question
Sir,
I have completed bachelor in electronics and communication engineering. Can I join masters in the field aeronautics?? If yes, what are the possible majors that I can take in my Masters?

thanking you in advance.

Answer
In the U.S., the requirement for a graduate program in Aeronautical Engineering is an undergraduate degree in Aeronautical (or Aerospace) Engineering or Mechanical Engineering or possibly physics.  There may be other majors that are more applicable to your situation such as Electrical Engineering with emphasis on Avionics.  Check with Embry-Riddle Engineering school in Florida - they may be able to help.
