Dont know about Aircraft Engineering but i would guess its specific to aircraft.
Aeronautical Engineering is very broad in its coverage with much more emphasis on general engineering techniques.
Of my graduating class and the people that ended up working in engineering (some went off into Banking/Finance);
One works for Renault cars as an design engineer in their structures dept, one works for McLaren/Merc as an aerodynamacist with their F1 team .
Two work with Qinetiq on advanced military systems (not aircraft related).
Two work with a major developer of Guided Missile systems.
One works for Airbus.
hope that helps.
