Aeronautical Engineering is taken as one of the most fascinating subjects in applied science and engineering around the Globe. On the other hand, the improvement of our nation can happen if we develop aerospace technology, which will facilitate for other technologies update proportionally. Aerospace engineers incubate new technologies for use in aviation, defense systems, and Aerospace exploration, often specializing in areas such as aerodynamics, aerospace propulsion, aerospace structures, guidance, navigation and control, instrumentation and communication, or production methods.
The Department offers a vibrant academic atmosphere which enables independent research and free exchange of ideas. The department has continuous interaction with R & D organizations of international reputation in the field of aerospace engineering that lead to mutually beneficial research activities.
To mould the aeronautical students to achieve the excellence in the field of technical education, research, innovation, entrepreneurship and industry related development to meet the challenges in society.
MD1: To impart high quality technical education and unique interdisciplinary experiences.
MD2: To promote research, innovation and entrepreneurship culture among students for the benefits of society.
MD3: To collaborate with industry and institute for technology up-gradation.
