Aspiring software engineers usually major in computer science, computer information systems, software engineering or mathematics. Some students take programming and software engineering classes to supplement a degree in another field, such as accounting, business or finance.
Although all these classes will help your engineering studies, as a future aeronautical engineer, the Math and Physics classes will be the basic knowledge that you will build upon. If your school does not offer all of these courses, you might be able to take some of these classes at a local college or community college. Your guidance counselor will be able to help you make some of these arrangements. If you do not have an opportunity to take all of these classes, do not be discouraged.
