About Aerospace Engineering

Download Brochure

Aerospace Engineering is an engineering offshoot that is focused on the design, construction, testing and operation of airplanes and spacecraft. Graduate program in Aerospace Engineering is offered with the objective to provide students with abundant knowledge in the field of aerodynamics and working in aircrafts. GNA University has Aviation Wing in which we have India's first Maule M-7 aircraft known as "Super-Rocket". Students are imparted practical training in DGCA approved workshop by Aircraft Maintenance Technicians. We also provide designing using CATIA, UGNX, ANSYS, CREO, Solid Works. Students get hands-on session in:

• Aerodynamics Lab
• Aerospace Propulsion Lab
• Systems and Instrumentation Lab
• Aerospace Structures Lab

At GNA University our students are provided with the opportunity to work on :

• R-25 Mig-21 Aircraft Engine
• Subsonic wind tunnel
• Aviation Wing With “Super – Rocket”

Program Highlights

• Alumni of the program will use their breadth and depth of knowledge and skills in the fundamental disciplines of aerospace engineering to pursue successful professional careers.
• Students get in depth knowledge about the fundamental disciplines of Aerospace Engineering, aerodynamics, materials, structures, propulsion, flight mechanics, space mechanics, system and instruments, and stability and control.
• Students learn from the basics to the advance knowledge of instrumentation and measurement, laboratory techniques and how to design and conduct experiments.

Semester Wise Subjects

B. Tech. Aerospace Engineering with minor Engineering

Keeping in view the interests of the student, we at GNA University, offer the student to choose multiple domains in engineering. Students may opt for a secondary field of engineering as Minor Engineering from 3rd semester, along with their primary chosen field. In order to have an additional Minor Engineering, a student must earn additional minimum 20 credits in the chosen field of minor engineering.

B. Tech. Honors

A student will be eligible to get Engineering degree with Honours, if he/she completes an additional 20 credits. These could be acquired through MOOCs/NPTEL courses subject to approval by the Dean/Head of the Faculty of Engineering Design and Automation.

Career Opportunities

Aerospace engineering is the primary field of engineering concerned with the design, development, testing, and production of aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems and equipment. The foundation level courses are Mechanics, Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Materials Science. These lead to a set of applied courses in Aerodynamics, Gas Dynamics, Propulsion, Flight Mechanics, Theory of Machines, Aerospace Structures, Manufacturing Processes, and Automatic Control.

Graduates of the B.Tech. programme in Aerospace Engineering are equipped to undertake challenging work in the Aerospace Engineering Industry, in areas like propulsion systems, aerodynamic design, structural systems, precision manufacturing, etc.

Career Pathways:

• Design Engineer
• UAV Pilot
• Production Engineer
• Lieutenant in Defense Sector
• Method Engineer
• Public Sector Undertaking
• Aerodynamic Engineer
• Aircraft and Shipyard Industry
• Aircraft/Spacecraft Designer
• Data Processing Manager
• Military Aerospace Engineer
