The course develops the principles of engineering, then moves on to topics such as aircraft structures, aerodynamics, aircraft design and control. As well as the purely technical content, the course develops the broader personal skills such as computer literacy, communication and presentation skills that are essential to a successful professional engineer and manager. In the final year student select from a number of specialist options, such as structural dynamics and aero elasticity, or computer aided engineering for manufacture.
Career :::.
Aeronautical Engineering graduates work in areas of the aircraft and airline industries. They also work in other high-tech industries such as motor manufacturing and offshore oil and gas extraction. Unlike those engineers belonging to organizations other than airlines, Aeronautical Engineers are required to possess a high degree of excellence in design as well as maintenance of aeroplane, engine and other accessories. While the design engineering can be confined within the class rooms, maintenance engineering requires a substantial input of man/hours of practical sessions to gain expertise in keeping these machines air worthy and safe. The demand for suitably qualified aeronautical engineers is on steep increase and it is for the academic institutions engaged in this field to rise up to the occasion to meet this emerging demand and contribute their share of participation in the social and economic growth of our nation.
The increase in demand for aviation engineers is going to gain further momentum by the rising air travel and Cargo transport trends during the current and coming years. With the economy expected to grow at the rate 6 to 8%, volumes, be it tourist traffic, business travel, Cargo transports or visits to friends and relatives are bound to upsurge. The domestic and international airlines corporations are going to capitalize on this increased demand. Due to the ‘Open Sky Policy’ promulgated by the Govt. of India, leading domestic and international airlines corporations have shown enthusiastic response. Since the scope for expansion in air passenger and Cargo traffic is highly encouraging, new entrants have already completed their formalities and are now ready to start their operations. The latest entrant is UB’s King Fisher. Official sources reveal that more than eight leading airlines, including Singapore Airlines (SIA) and its subsidiary Silk Air, Malaysian Airlines (AS), Dubai – based Emirates Airlines, Hong – based Cathay Pacific, Gulf Air and Lufthansa have applied to the Govt. for permission to operate either additional flights or bring in larger aircrafts. Some more international airlines are also likely to apply for permission for expanded activities.
