AEROSPACE ENGINEERING

THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION, TESTING, AND OPERATION OF VEHICLES THAT OPERATE IN EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE OR IN SPACE ARE ALL UNDER THE PURVIEW OF AEROSPACE ENGINEERING. THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE AND THE SPACE ABOVE IT WERE CONSIDERED A UNIFIED DOMAIN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF FLYING VEHICLES IN THE 1958 DEFINITION OF AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING. THE MAJORITY OF BUSINESSES EMPLOY DESIGN TEAMS WITH SPECIALISTS IN THE FIELDS OF AERODYNAMICS, PROPULSION SYSTEMS, MATERIALS, AVIONICS, STABILITY, AND CONTROL SYSTEMS, RATHER THAN HAVING ONE INDIVIDUAL HANDLE THE ENTIRE WORK.

SCOPE OF AEROSPACE ENGINEERING

TECHNOLOGIES FOR USE IN SPACECRAFT, DEFENCE SYSTEMS, AND AVIATION ARE DEVELOPED BY AEROSPACE ENGINEERS. AERODYNAMIC FLUID FLOW, STRUCTURAL DESIGN, ROBOTICS, INSTRUMENTATION AND COMMUNICATION, GUIDANCE, NAVIGATION, AND CONTROL, AND PROPULSION AND COMBUSTION ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF TOPICS THEY MIGHT CONCENTRATE ON.

AEROSPACE ENGINEERING COURSE

EIGHT SEMESTERS ARE REQUIRED FOR THE FOUR-YEAR DEGREE PROGRAM IN TECH AEROSPACE ENGINEERING. SPACECRAFT MECHANICS CONCEPTS ARE COVERED IN THE B. TECH. AEROSPACE ENGINEERING COURSE. ONE SHOULD GAIN BOTH ACADEMIC AND PRACTICAL UNDERSTANDING OF AIRPLANES, SPACECRAFT, AND OTHER FLYING MACHINES ON CAMPUS IN THE ENSUING FOUR-YEAR STUDY.

DETAILS FOR AEROSPACE ENGINEERING PROGRAM

A CANDIDATE PURSUING A FOUR-YEAR DEGREE PROGRAM IN AEROSPACE ENGINEERING WILL LEARN BOTH THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF AIRPLANES, SPACECRAFT, AND OTHER FLYING DEVICES. BECAUSE CANDIDATES IN THESE ENGINEERING PROFESSIONS WORK IN A CAMPUS WORKSHOP, PRACTICAL CLASSES ARE ALSO MORE SIGNIFICANT IN THESE SUBJECTS.

DURATION FOR B.TECH, AEROSPACE ENGINEERING

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.

EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION FOR ADMISSION INTO B.TECH, (AEROSPACE)

MINIMUM ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR ADMISSION INTO B.TECH. AEROSPACE IS:

• APPLICANT MUST PASS 10+2 WITH PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, AND MATHEMATICS OR EQUIVALENT. STUDENTS HAVING ANY OTHER OPTIONAL SUBJECT IN PLACE OF CHEMISTRY ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE. E.G. COMPUTER SCIENCE IN PLACE OF CHEMISTRY ALONG WITH PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS.
• 3 YEARS ENGINEERING DIPLOMA IN THE RELEVANT STREAM. (I.E. DIPLOMA IN MECHANICAL, PRODUCTION & INDUSTRIAL, ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION, ELECTRONICS, INSTRUMENTATION & CONTROL, TELECOMMUNICATION ENGINEERING AND AEROSPACE ENGINEERING. STUDENTS WITH THIS QUALIFICATION ARE ELIGIBLE FOR LATERAL ENTRY INTO THE SECOND YEAR OF THE AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING PROGRAM.
• B.SC. WITH PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, AND MATHEMATICS. STUDENTS WITH THIS QUALIFICATION ARE ELIGIBLE FOR LATERAL ENTRY INTO SECOND YEAR OF THE AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING PROGRAM.
• AS PER THE AICTE NORMS, THE CANDIDATE MUST HAVE A MINIMUM OF 45% MARKS IN 10+2 IN PCM OR EQUIVALENT OR IN ANY OF THE ABOVE QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS.

SCOPE FOR AEROSPACE ENGINEERING

AEROSPACE ENGINEERING IS A GOOD CAREER OPTION FOR THE ONE ASPIRING TO BECOME AN AEROSPACE ENGINEER. A LOT OF JOB OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE IN AIRLINES, AIR FORCE, DEFENCE MINISTRY, HELICOPTER COMPANIES, AVIATION COMPANIES, NASA, AND MANY OTHER COMPANIES.

A STUDENT CAN ALSO OPT HIGHER STUDIES LIKE M. TECH , MBA ETC.

AEROSPACE ENGINEERS JOB PROFILE

JOBS IN AEROSPACE ENGINEERING ARE IN CHARGE OF DESIGNING MISSILES, SATELLITES, SPACESHIPS, AND AIRPLANES. AEROSPACE ENGINEERS' PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE DESIGNING, PRODUCING, AND TESTING AEROSPACE GOODS. TECHNICALLY AND FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE INITIATIVES ARE PROPOSED BY AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS.
