Hi there. I'm not an engineer, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think you'd be learning about
Telecommunication
Remote sensing
Spacecraft propulsion
Attitude control
to name a few. You'd need to have a solid grounding in orbital mechanics, of course, but knowing about radiation effects is vital too.
Google these terms: "Astronautical Engineering," ""Space Engineering" or "Astroengineering" and you'll get tons of universities who will kill to get your tuition money.
And check it out: I've heard a lot about NASA being concerned that a lot of its engineers are retiring just when they'll need them the most for the moon and Mars efforts - I was right, check out the below link.
Looks like you picked a great time to be interested in a space engineering career! Best of luck to you!

1. Aeronautics and Astronautics
2. Aerospace engineering
3.Aeronautical engineering
These fields are directly related to Space Exploration.

U could apply for NASA as an engineer in building spacecrafts, interpreting computer codes and so on there are many possiblities

Aeronautical Engineering.
Or you could do the subset of physics called Astrophysics.
I'm glad to see another person interested in this fascinating field. I bet you're smart, too.
