B.E. Aeronautical Engineering (AE)

Curriculum
  • The Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in Aeronautical Engineering is a four-year program that provides a comprehensive education in mathematics, physics, engineering fundamentals, and specialized aeronautical topics. The curriculum is designed to equip students with a strong foundation in the principles of aeronautical engineering, as well as the skills and knowledge required to succeed in the industry.
  • In the first year, students cover a range of foundational subjects, including mathematics (calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations), physics (mechanics, electromagnetism), and engineering fundamentals (introduction to engineering, engineering drawing, and computer programming). They also take general education courses in English composition, humanities, and social sciences.
  • In the second year, students build on their foundational knowledge with advanced mathematics (advanced calculus, vector calculus), physics (fluid mechanics, heat transfer, waves and optics, thermodynamics), and aeronautical engineering fundamentals (introduction to aeronautical engineering, aircraft materials, aircraft structures). They also study aircraft performance and design, including aerodynamics, aircraft design principles, and laboratory courses in experimental methods and aircraft engineering.
  • In the third year, students delve deeper into specialized aeronautical topics, including aircraft and spacecraft systems, propulsion systems, flight mechanics and control, and advanced aeronautical topics such as computational fluid dynamics, aeroelasticity, and orbital mechanics. They also have the opportunity to take elective courses in areas such as robotics, unmanned aerial vehicles, or satellite systems.
  • In the final year, students undertake a capstone design project, where they design, analyze, and optimize an aircraft system or component. They also enroll in specialized electives, such as online certification courses in aircraft propulsion, advanced aerodynamics, or aircraft structures. Additionally, they participate in professional development courses that cover engineering ethics, project management, and communication skills. Many students also gain practical experience through internships or cooperative education programs with aircraft companies or research institutions.
  • Throughout the program, students engage in laboratory work to gain hands-on experience with aircraft systems, experiments, and simulations. They also work on smaller design projects to develop their design and problem-solving skills. The program often features guest lectures and seminars from industry professionals, providing students with insights into current trends, challenges, and opportunities in the aircraft industry.
  • Overall, the BE in Aeronautical Engineering program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive education in aeronautical engineering, as well as the skills and knowledge required to succeed in the industry. The program’s combination of theoretical and practical coursework, laboratory experience, and professional development opportunities prepares students for a wide range of careers in the field of aeronautical engineering.
