Aerospace Engineering

Overview

Aerospace Engineering is one of the main contributor to Defence and Space sectors of our country. India has designed and operationalized number of indigenous aerospace vehicles including :

  • Satellite Launch Vehicles and Spacecrafts,
  • Strategic and Tactical missiles,
  • Fighter and Civilian aircraft,
  • Unmanned Air Vehicle, Helicopter, Airships , parachutes.

Presently, the Government of India is greatly encouraging private start-ups and joint venture participation in the defence and space sector through different initiatives to achieve self-reliance in these critical sectors. This sector has critical mass, skill sets and Research and Development (R&D) capability. Major industrial houses and many start-up companies are very active in Aerospace sector. Reputed aircraft and engine manufactures have already set up or are planning to set up their bases in India. Indian Aerospace sector is at an inflection point (like the automotive and telecom sector three and two decades ago respectively) and likely to create thousands of high-end jobs.

Mahindra University has the right ambience and expertise to take up the challenge to train the students in Aerospace Engineering and teach them courses on the major streams of Aerospace Engineering- Aerodynamics, Propulsion and Structure. Because of the prevailing excellent aerospace ambience in the country and the availability of experienced and highly qualified faculty, Mahindra University is proposing to start an  undergraduate program in Aerospace Engineering.
