IIT Madras - Indian Institute of Technology Courses

Aerospace engineering is a field of engineering that deals with the design, development, production, testing, and maintenance of aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems.
Aerospace engineering includes some foundation-level subjects like Mechanics, Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, & Materials Science. These subjects then lead to a set of applied subjects like Aerodynamics, Gas Dynamics, Propulsion, Flight Mechanics, Theory of Mechanics, Aerospace Structures, Manufacturing Processes, and Automatic Control. There are also a set of elective subjects that will help to deepen and widen the knowledge base.
Along with the core subjects, the course also introduces some Basic Sciences, Electrical & Electronics Systems, Economics, Management, and Humanities. Then there are a set of laboratory subjects to help students gain practical knowledge for real-life phenomena and systems. At the end of semesters, the students can go for internships and work on their project works.
