B.TECH. AEROSPACE ENGINEERING (4 YEARS)

• Aerospace engineering is a specialized field of engineering that focuses on the design, development, testing, and production of aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems and components. It encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including aerodynamics, propulsion, structures and materials, flight mechanics and control, avionics and navigation, and space systems engineering.
• The department focuses on research-based teaching via modern tools, which leads to a better career. Aerospace engineering covers a wide range of subjects like Aerodynamics, Propulsion Systems, Flight Mechanics and Control, Structures and Materials, Avionics and Navigation, computer-aided design (CAD), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), Space Dynamics etc.
• Aerospace Engineering Department actively encourages students to engage in internships or co-op programs with prominent aerospace and aeronautical organizations and research institutions. These experiences provide invaluable hands-on exposure to professional aerospace engineering environments, augmenting theoretical knowledge with practical skills essential for successful careers. Furthermore, the department is committed to preparing students to excel in various competitions, offering opportunities that challenge their abilities and foster growth.
• The four years degree programme in Aerospace Engineering helps one in getting a job in the Aerospace Sector, civil aviation, defence sector, Aircraft designing, manufacturing, maintenance, repair, overhaul industries, and Research organization. There are a lot of opportunities for the younger minds to get placed in ISRO, Bharat Dynamics Ltd, DRDO, HAL, BrahMos Aerospace Pvt Ltd, TATA Advanced Systems, ADANI Defence, NAL, Airbus, Boeing, Rolls Royce, Honeywell, General Electric (GE), Dassault Systemes, ANSYS, etc.
