BE Aerospace Engineering or Bachelor of Engineering in Aerospace Engineering is an undergraduate Aerospace Engineering course. Aeronautical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering refers to an applied discipline of engineering dealing with the design, manufacture, functioning, and maintenance of airborne vehicles like aircraft, spacecraft, helicopters, and missiles. Aeronautical Engineering belongs to the category of high-tech engineering and involves the study of physical science and mathematics to perform research, development, testing, launching, and the manufacture of various air vehicles.

The core areas of specialization for a team of aeronautical engineers include aerodynamics, thermodynamics, celestial mechanics, control systems, propulsion, and electronics. These different fields of study are put together to form the basis of Aeronautical Engineering. Each member of a team of Aeronautical Engineers specializes in his/ her own branch of science and thus contributes individually to the development and manufacturing of an airborne vehicle. The study of Aeronautical Engineering in India has evolved a great deal with a number of institutes offering diploma and degree courses in Aeronautical Engineering.

BE Aerospace Engineering Eligibility

  • Aspiring students should have completed 10+2 years of schooling or a Diploma.
  • It is also a common requirement for candidates to clear an entrance test administered by the University or College where they seek admission, especially in more popular institutes; where places on courses are offered to students based on their ranks in these tests (refer to IIT-JEE).
