The Department of Aerospace Engineering (AE) started in the year of 2007 in order to meet the burgeoning needs of Aerospace industry. The Department offers B. Tech. program in Aerospace Engineering with an intake of 60 students per batch. The Department also offers an intensive Ph.D. research program. In alignment with the University’s overarching vision, the department endeavours to establish a prominent reputation in the areas of teaching, research, applied engineering, and societal service. All our faculty members have their Ph.D. from premier institutions in India and abroad. With their vast and versatile teaching, industry and research experience, our faculty members have been able to provide critical insight from their respective research domains into the pedagogy and curriculum.
Our department diligently ensures that our students receive high-quality training to excel in all fields related to Aerospace Engineering, placing a special emphasis on interdisciplinary teams. The prescribed courses of study and syllabi cover core areas like aero-design, structures, propulsion, aerodynamics and systems, and areas like physical sciences, humanities and social harmony. This approach has greatly benefited our students, as evidenced by their consistent performance in competitive exams, including achieving the All-India Rank 1 in the 2020 GATE exam.
The departments keeps striving to let students be industry-ready. Tie-ups with the pioneering institutions like NAL, ISRO, DRDO, IITs etc., along with established aerospace companies and startups, have served as eye-openers on the complexities of real-life problems for the students. The faculty are actively involved in funded research projects and interested students are encouraged to partake in the same.
To be the best Department of Aerospace Engineering, known for its teaching, research, applied engineering and service to society.
