Entry Requirements :
A pass in +2 (H.Sc) or Diploma.
Course Overview
Aeronautical Engineering is, according to the popular quote, “Mechanical engineering done better”, as engineering design and analysis need to be more precise and use advanced materials. Manufacturing is always through the most advanced technologies that invariably focus on closer tolerance levels. With the explosive growth in civil aviation, satellite communications and space exploration, the demand for aeronautical engineers has skyrocketed.
- To train the students in a broad based manner with equal focus on applications in aircraft engineering.
- To impart Engineering knowledge in topics such as structural mechanics, aerodynamics, propulsion and space dynamics.
Course Breakup
