Question
HI,
I AM FROM SRI LANKA. EVERYONE TELLS ME THAT  CHEMISTRY IS ALSO NEEDED. IS CHEMISTRY IMPORTANT? PLEASE COME BACK TO ME WITH THE RELEVANT LIST OF SUBJECTS NEEDED FOR AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING.

THANK YOU

Answer
Visit the website of any engineering school (e.g., U. of Washington - Seattle) and review the required courses of study.  You will find that basic chemistry is required and advanced chemistry is recommended. We live in a chemical world - engineers need to have a basic understanding of the elements of life.
