AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING IS THE EMERGING BRANCH OF ENGINEERING, WITH LOTS OF DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPLORATIONS TAKING PLACE IN FLIGHT VEHICLES.INSTEADOF A PALETTE OFCOLORS, THE AERONAUTICAL ENGINEER HAS HIS OWN ARTIST'S PALETTE OF OPTIONS. HOW HE MIXES THESE ENGINEERING OPTIONS ON HIS TECHNOLOGICAL PALETTE AND APPLIES THEM TO HIS CANVAS (DESIGN) DETERMINES THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS AIRPLANE / FLIGHT VEHICLE. AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS ARE THE MAN BEHIND THESE FLYING MACHINES. TO BECOME AN AERONAUTICAL ENGINEER, ONE MUST DO B.TECH (AERONAUTICAL).
B.TECH., AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING DEALS WITH RESEARCHING NEW DESIGNS FOR AIRCRAFT, AIRCRAFT COMPONENTS, AND ENGINES, BRINGING DESIGN TO SOFTWARE, I.E. MAKING THE RESEARCHED DESIGN A REALITY, TESTING THE DESIGN IN RELATED SOFTWARE, MANUFACTURING AND FINALLY CALCULATING ITS PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS IN FLIGHT. JOB PROFILES OF AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS INCLUDE INVESTIGATING THE AERODYNAMICAL AND STRUCTURAL FORCES ACTING ON THE MACHINE, WHICH HAS BEEN DESIGNED BY HIM. AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS ARE ALSO INVOLVED IN ANALYZING THE DATA OF THE FLYING MACHINE, GATHERED THROUGH A SERIES OF TEST FLIGHTS DONE ON THE AIRCRAFT BEFORE DELIVERY TO THE AIRCRAFT OPERATOR.
THESE STUDENTS ARE ALSO INVOLVED IN THE PLANNING, OPERATIONS, AND MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES OF THE AIRCRAFT. AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS THEY NOT ONLY WORK FOR CIVIL AVIATION, BUT THEY ARE KEY ROLE PLAYERS IN DEFENSE SECTOR AVIATION JOBS TOO. AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING IS THE LAST BRANCH OF ENGINEERING, WHICH IS YET TO BE FULLY EXPLORED BY THE HUMAN RACE. THE EXPLORATION EFFORTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN STARTED BY HUMANS OF VARIOUS COUNTRIES. WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US FOR THIS EXCITING JOURNEY FOR THE MOON AND BEYOND THE SKY, WHERE SKY IS THE STEEPING STONE, BUT NOT THE LIMIT OF THE JOURNEY FOR AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS.
BEING A BEGINNER IN THE AERONAUTICAL FIELD, YOU WILL LEARN, HOW THE AIRCRAFT FLIES, AND WHICH FORCES, ACTING ON THE AIRCRAFT WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THE MACHINE TO BE IN THE AIR, WITH SUCH A HUGE WEIGHT.
MATH AND SCIENCE ARE IMPORTANT SUBJECTS FOR THE BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF AERONAUTICAL CONCEPTS. ITS NOT THAT HOW YOU HAVE DONE IN THOSE CLASSES FOR MATHS AND SCIENCE, BUT HOW YOU USE THAT KNOWLEDGE IN YOUR DESIGN. BEING THE DESIGNER OF THE AIRCRAFT, AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS WILL HAVE TO HONE THOSE SKILLS OF DESIGNING, THAT THEY WILL LEARN IN THE DESIGNING SOFTWARE CLASSES. AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS SHOULD BE FUTURISTIC, FOR MAKING THEIR DESIGN A REALITY. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS IS THAT THEY CAN WORK ON NEW THINGS EVERY DAY, WHICH GIVES SATISFACTION WHERE CAREER ADVANCEMENT AND FINANCIAL GROWTH IS CONCERNED.
IT IS A FOUR-YEAR DEGREE PROGRAM. IT'S SPREAD OVER EIGHT SEMESTERS. DURING THIS PERIOD STUDENTS WILL HAVE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL CLASSES ALONG WITH INTERNSHIPS AT THE END OF EACH EVEN SEMESTER.
MINIMUM ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR ADMISSION INTO B.TECH. AERONAUTICAL IS:
INDIA IS THE THIRD LARGEST AVIATION MARKET, WITH LOTS OF SCOPE TO BECOME THE WORLD’S LARGEST AVIATION MARKET IN THE NEAR FUTURE. AFTER INDIAN GOVERNMENT’S MAKE-IN-INDIA POLICY, LOTS OF AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURERS HAVE STARTED OUTSOURCING THE DESIGNING AND MANUFACTURING OF AIRCRAFT COMPONENTS IN INDIA. ALL THESE COMPANIES ARE LOOKING FOR SKILLED AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS TO BE EMPLOYED IN THEIR COMPANIES.AIRBUS AND BOEING BOTH HAVE ESTABLISHED THEIR MANUFACTURING UNITS IN INDIA, THESE COMPANIES ARE ALSO A BIG EMPLOYER FOR AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING PASSOUTS.INDIA’S AVIATION GROWTH IS VISIBLE BY INCREASING PASSENGER TRAFFIC, WITH LOTS OF NEW AIRPORTS COMING UP TO CATER TO PASSENGERS’ TRAFFIC. IN DELHI AND MUMBAI, AT BOTH METROS, THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT IS PLANNING THIRD AND SECOND AIRPORTS, RESPECTIVELY. PASSENGER TRAFFIC HAS INCREASED TO THE EXTENT IN DELHI THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS ALREADY SEGREGATED THE HELICOPTER AND NONSCHEDULED OPERATORS FLYING FROM NEW DELHI INDIRA GANDHI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. HELICOPTER FLYING IS TAKING PLACE FROM A SEPARATE INDIA’S FIRST HELIPORT AT ROHINI AND NONSCHEDULED OPERATORS OR SMALL AIRCRAFT OPERATORS ARE FLYING FROM A SEPARATE AIRPORT AT HINDON. DUE TO THIS HIGH GROWTH IN THE INDUSTRY, MORE AND MORE AIRCRAFT WILL BE BROUGHT AND MANUFACTURED, THEREBY INCREASING THE JOBS FOR AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING PASSOUTS AND ALREADY WORKING EXPERIENCED PERSONNEL.
DUE TO RELAXATION IN TAXES, THE MRO INDUSTRY IS TO BOOST UP FROM 800 CRORES TO 3000 CRORES IN THE NEXT 3 YEARS. CONVERGENCE BETWEEN THE DEFENSE SECTOR AND CIVIL MROS WILL BE ESTABLISHED TO CREATE ECONOMICS IN SCALE. THIS WILL ALSO GENERATE HUGE JOBS FOR AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING GRADUATES.
AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS ARE ALSO EMPLOYED IN SPACE SECTOR JOBS. ACCORDING TO INDIAN GOVERNMENT LATEST ANNOUNCEMENT, INDIAN PRIVATE SECTOR IS TO BE A CO-TRAVELER IN THE SPACE SECTOR JOURNEY. THEY WILL ALSO PROVIDE LEVEL PLAYING FIELD FOR PRIVATE COMPANIES IN SATELLITES, LAUNCHERS, AND SPACE-BASED SERVICES. THIS WILL BOOST THE JOB PROSPECTS FOR AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING / AEROSPACE ENGINEERING GRADUATES.
AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING GRADUATES CAN APPLY FOR JOBS IN APPROXIMATELY 350 PLUS COMPANIES IN INDIA, TO MENTION SOME OF THE COMPANIES AND DOMAIN OF AVIATION RELATED COMPANIES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
INDIA AIR FORCE, ARMY, NAVY, COAST GUARD, BSF, HAL, ISRO, DRDO, NAL, TANEJA AEROSPACE, MAHENDRA AEROSPACE, CIVIL AVIATION DEPARTMENT, DGCA, AAI, SCHEDULED AIRLINES, NON SCHEDULED AIRLINES, PRIVATE AIRLINES, GOVERNMENT AIRLINES, MRO, AMO, TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS, DESIGNING COMPANIES AND MANUFACTURING COMPANIES.
AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS DESIGN AND TEST PRODUCTS FOR AIRCRAFTS, SPACECRAFTS, SATELLITES, AND MISSILES. THIS INVOLVES TASKS SUCH AS CREATING AND TESTING PROTOTYPES, DEVELOPING CRITERIA FOR DESIGN METHODS, CHECKING PROPOSALS, AND COORDINATING TEAMS FROM DESIGN TO MANUFACTURING. AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS SPEND MOST OF THEIR TIME IN AN OFFICE-BASED ENVIRONMENT, USING SOFTWARE DESIGN TOOLS AND SIMULATION SOFTWARE FOR TESTING AND TRAINING. THIS IS A FULL-TIME JOB AND OFTEN REQUIRES ADDITIONAL HOURS TO WORK ON LARGER PROJECTS, MONITOR PROGRESS, AND ENSURE THAT THE DESIGNS MEET THE NECESSARY REQUIREMENTS. THIS JOB IS WELL SUITED TO PEOPLE WHO COMMUNICATE WELL, CAN MANAGE THEIR TIME EFFECTIVELY AND WORK ON MULTIPLE PROJECTS AT ONCE, WHO ENJOY WORKING AS PART OF A TEAM TOWARDS SHARED GOALS, AND HAVE GOOD PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS.
