Overview of Aerospace Engineering Studies

The Department of Aerospace Engineering at Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences (KITS) was launched in the year 2009 with the primary objective of producing Aerospace Engineers to meet the growing demand and to serve the civilian aeronautical as well as the defense oriented sectors. Aeronautical Engineering topics are also finding applications in the civil sections as well in UAV based surveying, Advanced Cooling Technologies for miniaturised electronics, Composite Materials for automobiles, electronics, packaging, sports equipment etc. Our budding engineers acquire skills in core domains like Aerodynamics, Stress Analysis, Materials and Structures, Aircraft Design, Propulsion, Space Dynamics, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Smart Manufacturing that enables them to understand physical laws and cruise through time and space by being creative and innovative, thus opening-up the limitless opportunities in an endless space.

The students are trained in aerospace design and analysis software and offered value-added courses in Digital Manufacturing, Artificial Intelligence in Aerospace manufacturing, Value Engineering etc., to keep them abreast with the latest developments. Over the years the Department of Aerospace Engineering has groomed 500+ engineers who have grown to occupy strategic positions at research organizations like GTRE and NAL, MNCs like Accenture, Capgemini, and Infosys, and in highly reputed companies like Quest Global, Agnikul Cosmos etc., to name a few. Moreover, one-in-four of our graduates pursue higher studies and research in top universities like Cranfield & Coventry in UK; Purdue in USA, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia and Technion in Israel.

With India’s remarkable achievements in space and the tremendous growth of air travel, the demand for trained professionals in Aerospace Engineering across the globe is increasing like never before with a wide range of opportunities in research and higher studies.
