Aeronautical Engineering is a very diverse subject that furthers a large variety of skills, predominantly mathematic and physics based. An Aeronautical Engineer applies the theoretical and practical skills obtained from a university course such as the one at Qureshi and applies them to research, design and manufacturing of current aeronautical programs from modern aircraft to satellites. Without Aeronautical Engineers the aircraft people use for business would not be in the sky, it cannot be contested that society depends heavily on travel via aircraft. In the current climate of concern over environmental issues, society also expects the aviation industry to play its part in helping to decrease the level of CO2 emissions. Again it is the Aeronautical Engineer that will provide the solution to increase overall aircraft efficiency, thereby helping to drive down the levels of emissions current aircraft produce. Aeronautical Engineers also help put the satellites in to space, the satellites we rely on for weather information, geospatial mapping data, environmental monitoring, telecommunications and research. So in answer to the question I feel aerospace engineering plays a major role in society, producing and developing a lot of the technology we rely on heavily.
