Question
Hi Sir

      I am interested in aeronautics.Is it advisable for girls to study aeronautical engineering??..Where will we get placed if we study well???.What are the subjects in aeronautical engineering??

Answer
Yes, girls can study aeronautical engineering as well as boys.  One of my best engineers at NASA was a young lady.  Women can learn the technical skills quite nicely and seem to have an innate ability to work well with people.  The study of aero engineering is the study of flight.  That involves learning many science and math subjects.  Google U. of Washington Seattle and check the courses listed in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

As to schools and jobs in India, I have no experience.  Good luck.
