Question
i am planning to take aeronautical engineering in the future.
i want to know what all fields are there and what subjects do i need to study? i am studying IGCSE course.
PLEASE HELP

Answer
The best preparation for engineering school is to study physics, chemistry and all the math you can find (algebra, trig, geometry, calculus).  Once in engineering school you will study a great variety of subjects such as fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, dynamics, structural analysis, thermodynamics, chemistry, propulsion, advanced math and many many more that you can see if you visit school websites such as http://www.aa.washington.edu/  Follow the link to Courses and Seminars.
