Aerospace engineering is the study of the complexities of materials and structures put to use under atmospheric stress. Research & Development in aircraft manufacture requires highly trained engineers, scientists and technicians specializing in areas such as aerospace, aeronautics, electronics, computer science, robotics, bio medicine, acoustics, chemistry, physics and meteorology. Manufacturing of air crafts for commercial or military use and space research and spacecraft production are high tech fields in which Aerospace engineers are engaged.

What an Aerospace Engineers does?

• Aerospace engineers work as a team in designing, assembling and testing air crafts and space crafts. Aerospace engineers may be required to work on the designing of complete air crafts or may specialise in special areas of the industry such as missile guidance systems, propulsion, and guidance control systems.
• Aerospace engineers learn and apply the knowledge of aerodynamics, propulsion, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, flight mechanics, and structural analysis.
• They are also involved in cost analysis, operations research and may be required to update their work through research, conduct reliability studies, and assess maintenance functions.
• Aerospace engineers (materials) assess the materials used for manufacture of air crafts /spacecrafts.
• Quality control assessments are carried out by engineers.

But it is advisable that do choose a good universities to complete the course otherwise there is no use of it. It will be advisable if you do your degree from a well known university and that provides prime placement opportunity, outstanding exposure and professional enhancement training.

Good Colleges/Universities that offers Aerospace Engineering are:-

• Hindustan College of Engineering, Chennai
• Institute of Aeronautical Engineering, Hyderabad
• Madras Institute of Technology, Chennai
• Mohammed Sathak Engineering College, Madurai
• Lovely Professional University,Jalandhar
• University of Madras, Chennai

All the Best!!!!

Aerospace engineering is a high-technology discipline more than 110 years old. Yet, much remains to be done to broaden its scope and application to develop next generation Hypersonic Aircrafts, fast whisper-quite Helicopters, reusable Spacecrafts and Launch Vehicles etc.
