Did you do any research on this yourself? I put " master of aerospace engineering " into Google and got a pile of hits.

I am a 'master of aerospace engineering' 
I guess the exact title depends on the university issuing the degree.

Does it matter?
I know good Electrical Engineers with degrees in Physics, and I know good Physicists with degrees in Chemistry. It's what you know and what you do that really matters, IMO. Granted, if your degree is in History, people will assume you don't know much Physics.
My undergrad is in "Engineering and Applied Science". If you asked me to build a bridge or a refinery, the results would be scary. What I did was electronics and no one cared that it was called "Engineering".
