The Aerospace Engineering program was started with the objective to create industry-ready professionals by training students in a wide variety of areas involving Avionics, Space Technology and Defence Technology. The program is taught by experienced faculty from nationally recognised institutions and foreign universities. There is a dedicated Research Centre with high-performance computational facilities.
Aerospace Engineering is an amalgamation of Aeronautical Engineering and three specialisations: Space Technology. Avionics, and Defence Technology. The sub-domains include Aerodynamics, Flight Mechanics, Structures, and Propulsion.
Space Technology includes courses like Orbital Mechanics, Satellite Attitude Dynamics, and Control, Space Sciences and Space Environment, and Modern Satellites and Spacecraft.
There are two main activities in this course
The first is lectures, which emphasise the fundamentals of orbital mechanics, and the second is the analytical approach for analysis of spacecraft and satellite design.
