Course Overview
Fundamentals of Theoretical and Experimental Aerodynamics is an undergraduate and postgraduate level online course offered by IIT Kharagpur. The programme is a 12-week long core certification programme with the approval and recognition of AICTE. Basically, the course is offered as a free programme and the learners can join the programme free of cost. However, Swayam, the online course provider by the Indian Government, demands a fee from the learners to get a hold of certification after the Fundamentals of Theoretical and Experimental Aerodynamics Certification.
Fundamentals of Theoretical and Experimental Aerodynamics Certification Course, offered by Swayam, discusses the conceptual and practical understanding of aerodynamics, principles of aerodynamics and fundamentals of aerodynamics. The course on aerodynamics will prepare the learners to get started with the advanced aerodynamics programmes. Fundamentals of Theoretical and Experimental Aerodynamics Certification by Swayam is prepared under the guidance and supervision of Prof. Arnab Roy of IIT Kharagpur.
