Aerospace Engineering
Overview
- Aerospace Engineering is one of the main contributor in Defence and Space sectors of our country.
- India has designed and operationalized number of indigenous aerospace vehicles including
- Satellite Launch Vehicles and Spacecrafts,
- Strategic and Tactical missiles,
- Fighter and Civilian aircraft,
- Unmanned Air Vehicle, Helicopter, Airships , parachutes.
- These developments have made the country’s aerospace ecosystem very vibrant and competitive.
- Presently, Government of India is greatly encouraging private, start-ups and joint venture participation in the defence and space sectors through different initiatives to achieve self-reliance in these critical sectors.
- The sector is having critical mass, skill sets and Research and Development (R&D) capability.
- Major industrial houses and many start-up companies are very active in Aerospace sector.
- Reputed aircraft and engine manufactures have already set up or planning to set up their bases in India.
- Indian Aerospace sector is at an inflection point (like the automotive and telecom sector three and two decades back respectively) and likely to create thousands of high-end jobs.
- Mahindra University is having the right ambience and expertise to take up the challenge to train students in Aerospace Engineering and is teaching courses on Aerodynamics, Propulsion, Structure– the major streams of Aerospace Engineering.
Because of the prevailing excellent aerospace ambience in the country and the availability of experienced and highly qualified faculty, Mahindra University is proposing to start an undergraduate program in Aerospace Engineering.
