About Aeronautical Engineering

Aeronautical engineering is one of the most innovative branches of engineering. Aeronautical engineering is the study of the physical properties and scientific approaches that support the planning, designing, testing, manufacturing and maintaining aerodynamic systems like aircrafts and spacecrafts.

As human beings, we have always been fascinated with a bird’s capability to fly. Genius innovators have used principles of physics and aerodynamics to create structures that can take flight to transport us from one place to another.

Sandip University’s School of Engineering and Technology (SOET) is one of the aeronautical engineering colleges in Maharashtra. Our B.Tech in Aeronautical Engineering program is designed to provide students with the right skills and training to become dynamic professionals in the industry.

The aeronautical industry is rapidly progressing as we are becoming more and more dependent on air travel. The Government of India is also investing heavily on space exploration and manufacturing military equipment, which has created a huge demand for capable and skilled professionals in this industry. Sandip University’s aeronautical engineering program can give wings to your career in the industry with the right training and educational knowledge in the field.

Career Opportunities in Aeronautical Engineering

Defence Engineers

Defence engineers oversee the design, testing, production and maintenance of different kinds of military equipment and vehicles.

Rocket Engineers

Rocket engineers design and evaluate the efficiency of rockets and rocket launchers to ensure that the design is viable and to avoid mishaps during launch.

Aircraft Designers

Aircraft designers are tasked with designing new aircrafts and developing newer innovations in existing designs of aircrafts for better efficiency.

Aerodynamic Engineers

Aerodynamics engineers look for glitches in the design of aeronautical vehicles to ensure that the design is feasible and can function as expected after take-off.
