Overview: Aeronautical Engineering Course

Aeronautical Engineering remains one of the most fascinating subjects among students and is gaining increased importance with advancements in number enabling technologies. The rapid growth in civil transportation, development of advanced fighter aircrafts and missile system for the air superiority in national defense along with the growing applications of unmanned aerial system in the civilian and commercial sectors are the major contributors of this growth.

The students in I and II semesters will be studying basic sciences and from III to VIII semester, they will be studying subjects purely related to Aeronautical. Also students will be exposed to laboratories such as aerodynamics, aircraft propulsion, aircraft structures and flight simulation in which they can conduct research oriented experiments and also the experiments related to the academics.

Why study Aeronautical Engineering ?

Aeronautical Engineering course imparts multi-faceted training to students in areas like design, development, manufacturing, operation and maintenance of aircraft systems. As these activities are highly inter-disciplinary, students will also be introduced to other related technologies in allied fields such as advanced materials, embedded systems and software technologies etc. While the opportunities for the students for higher studies and placement in the western world need not be over stated the Indian scenario is turning to be better with the opening of strategic sector manufacturing to private enterprises and a number of startups in the area of unmanned aerial system.
