Aerospace Engineering deals with the aircraft that stay within the atmosphere of earth and also with those that operates outside the earth’s atmosphere. It is an applied discipline of engineering dealing with making, designing, manufacturing, functioning, and maintenance of vehicles such as aircraft, spacecraft, and missiles.
Its usually deals with the design, manufacturing, maintenance and development of Spacecrafts, Satellites, Rockets and other man made structures which are capable of leaving the Earth’s atmosphere and travel to outer space. on the other hand, This normally deals with the design, manufacturing, maintenance and development of aircraft, Helicopters and other Flying devices that remains within the Earth’s atmosphere and are used for purposes which includes- transportation, Surveillance etc.
The eligibility criteria for pursuing B. Tech. in astronautical Engineering are as follows:
Astronautical Engineering is a 4 years long Undergraduate level Degree program. The 4 years’ duration is divided into 8 semesters. During different semesters, students will have to face separate sets of theoretical subjects as well as practical lab sessions and workshops. Topics cover under each semester are as follows:
