Aerospace Engineering

Aircraft maintenance engineers or aircraft mechanics readily find jobs in aircraft manufacturing or maintenance firms as well as airports. Students of AME course can also appear and qualify as AMAeSI (Associate Membership of Aeronautical Society of India), which is considered equivalent to B.E. or B.Tech programme in Aeronautical Engineering by Government of India. They can find jobs as engineers at Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (HAL), Air India, Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), BHEL, DRDO, Indian Air Force (IAF), Coast Guard and Airline Industries.
Candidates, who qualify as AMAeSI, are also eligible for M.Tech Admission in IITs through GATE, at Birla Institute of Technology, Ranchi, as well as at Madras Institute of Technology.

Aeronautical Engineering is concerned with design and operation of aircraft, missiles, and space vehicles. Aeronautics is the design, development, analysis, testing, and production of aircraft for military or civilian markets. Aerospace engineering is the primary field of engineering concerned with the development of aircraft and spacecraft. As flight technology advanced to include craft operating in outer space, the broader term "aerospace engineering" has largely replaced aeronautical engineering in common usage. Aircraft Maintenance engineering refers to the maintenance of various types of aircraft and does not focus on aircraft and engine design, which are part of aeronautical and aerospace engineering.
