The Department of Aerospace Engineering was established in 2020 with an intake of 60 students in the UG course. The department has also started a PG program in Aeronautical Engineering with an intake of 12 in the year 2023. Aeronautical engineering involves researching, designing, constructing, testing, and manufacturing of the aircraft within Earth's atmosphere. It also covers the investigation into aerodynamic elements of aircraft, including behaviors and related factors such as control surfaces, lift, airfoil, and drag. The Department aims to cultivate expertise in specialized fields within aeronautical engineering, including aircraft structural design, aerodynamics, propulsion systems, and guidance and control systems, with an emphasis on research and innovation.
The aeronautical engineering department features several specialized labs: Aero-Thermodynamics Lab, Fluid Mechanics and Machinery Lab, Aerodynamics Lab, Aircraft Structures Lab, Propulsion Lab, and CAD/CAE Lab, offering students hands-on experience in advanced research and practical applications. The department has well qualified and experienced faculties from IITs, NITs and Government institutes having excellent academic as well as research contribution. The aeronautical engineering department offers a vibrant and enriching environment for students. The student-run Aerocious forum hosts guest lectures and workshops, while the drone club organizes competitions and projects, providing opportunities for practical experience and fostering innovation in drone technology and applications. The department encourages students to engage in research and publish papers. They are also motivated to participate in international and national conferences, providing them with valuable opportunities to present their work, network with industry professionals, and stay informed about the latest advancements in the field.
