BE – Aerospace Engineering

Aerospace Engineering Department was established in year of 2017 with an intake of 60, affiliated under VTU with AICTE recognition to meet the intensifying needs for Aerospace Industries. Aerospace Engineering is the primary field of engineering concerned with the design development and launching of satellite launch vehicle, defense missiles and satellites for different applications. Aerospace Engineering curriculum consist of mainly fundamental aerodynamics, structures and propulsion subjects of aeronautical engineering and mechanical engineering in lower semesters and in higher semesters specialized topics like satellite launch vehicles design and analysis, Missile Design, Spacecraft design and analysis, Space dynamics, Intra planetary travels and Space environment. India is one of the leading countries in the aerospace field. To support the current and future challenges in the field of aerospace, ACSCE formulates quality engineers specialized in aerospace technology.
