Please try either

   \begin{tabular}{|c|p{2cm}|r|}
     \hline
     Test & \raggedright Aerospace \\ Engineering & Blank\\
     \hline
   \end{tabular}


or


   \usepackage{array}

   \begin{tabular}{|c|>{\raggedright}p{2cm}|r|}
     \hline
     Test & Aerospace \\ Engineering & Blank\\
     \hline
   \end{tabular}
