What is difference between Aircraft engineering and Aviation engineering?

Hello,   Aerospace

Hello,
 
Aerospace engineering is the primary branch of engineering concerned with the design, construction and science of aircraft and spacecraft.[1] It is divided into two major and overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. The former deals with craft that stay within Earth's atmosphere, and the latter with craft that operate outside it.
While aeronautical engineering was the original term, the broader "aerospace" has superseded it in usage, as flight technology advanced to include craft operating in outer space.[2] Aerospace engineering, particularly the astronautics branch, is referred to colloquially as "rocket science".
 
Aerospace, Aircraft are kind of similar words used to engineer cources.
