 Since aerospace engineering is generally the driver of state-of-art of the engineering and applied sciences, this field can strongly complement other fields of science and engineering.Many of the advanced technological fields such as computational and experimental fluid dynamics, composite and advanced material science and manufacturing, fatigue and fracture mechanics, computer-aided engineering designs, structural analysis using finite element methods, structural health monitoring, high-performance computing, numerical methods in science and engineering, communication and navigation systems, etc.have been largely a product of the developments in aerospace industry and research.
