B. Tech in Aerospace Engineering
The Aerospace Discipline of KIIT-Deemed to be University, Bhubaneswar is operational under School of Mechanical Engineering with teaching faculty members from reputed academic institutes as well as from industry domain. The department is equipped with adequate facilities of laboratory (Aerodynamics, Propulsion, Aerostructures, Aircraft Systems, Avionics etc.) and various computational facilities involving finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, simulation softwares etc. The practical demonstration is carried out for the students to get familiarized with various parts, accessories of aeronautical domain with the help of the aero-engines and aircraft available in the aerospace facility. The students go for summer training in leading aerospace industries and also get the opportunity to go abroad for one semester course in foreign Universities.
After completion of four years of bachelor’s degree course in aerospace engineering, there are numerous opportunities available in India and abroad in both the Government and Private sectors. These include aviation industries, airlines and multinational companies dealing with manufacturing and repair of aircraft and providing engineering solutions. Organisations in India like Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Tata Advanced Systems (TAS) are some of the main recruiters which hire aerospace engineers. Companies such as Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, Capgemini, CYIENT, Quest-Global, Honeywell, Alten, Mahindra Aerospace, L&T Aerospace and Defence etc work on aeronautical engineering solutions to support various multinational companies. The companies like Airbus, Boeing, GKN Aerospace have established their Centre of Excellence in India to utilize Indian human resources for execution of work pertaining to aerospace domain. Many students prefer to go for higher studies in India and overseas location for their future career in teaching and research and development.
If somebody has got the passion for aircraft, spacecraft and always dreamt of flying high in his/her career, then Aerospace Engineering is the perfect fit to be chosen as the platform for the career journey.
