I've been doing some general EE research, what I'd be doing if I did actually make it through all the courses. My question is, what do EE's do in aerospace? since that is my ultimate goal.

Everything but the aeronautics and structural engineering.

Avionics, signature control, power systems, actuators, flight controls, and more.
