AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING

About Us

Established in the year 2009, conducts the Programme B.E. Aeronautical Engineering with a vision to attain excellence and global reputation in Aeronautical Engineering education and research.

Aeronautical Engineering is one of the most challenging fields of engineering with a wide scope for growth.

This Programme deals with the development of new technology in the field of aviation, Space exploration and defense systems.

Specializes in designing, construction, development, testing, operation and maintenance of both commercial and military aircraft, spacecraft’s and their components as well as satellites and missiles.

The curriculum of Aeronautical Engineering includes maintenance as well as design aspects of the present day aviation and aerospace engineering.

It prepares graduates with knowledge, problem solving ability, hands-on skills to take-up career in the design, installation, manufacturing, testing, evaluation, technical sales, or maintenance of aeronautical/aerospace systems.
