ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

The Department of Aerospace Engineering was started in the year 2015 to offer UG program in Aerospace Engineering with an approved intake of 60. Imparting quality education in Aerospace Engineering with emphasis on research, sustainability technologies and entrepreneurship for societal symbiosis has been the primary motive behind starting this new program. The Department's main objective is to create expertise in specialized areas in Aerospace engineering such as Aerospace structural design, Aerodynamics, Propulsion systems and Guidance & control systems with focus on research and innovation.

The Department is headed by Dr. Ravindra S Kulkarni who is an alumnus of Aerospace Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. He has nearly 27 years of rich experience in teaching and research. Presently there are two highly distinguished visiting Professors and nine regular faculty members (excluding HOD) in the Department.
