About the Department

Twenty first century is poised to become a century of space explorations and manned missions to other planets. It will be a time of space stations and robotic probes. The world will continue to need aerospace scientists, engineers, technologists and technicians to accomplish these highly exciting and challenging missions. Keeping this in mind the Department of Aeronautical Engineering was started in Bharath University in the year 2012.

The Aeronautical Engineering students are encouraged to actively involve in research projects and come out with innovative ideas. With constant support extended by the Management, the basic infra-structure needed for regular curricular programs as well as for fundamental and applied research is being established in the Department.

The Department provides a conducive academic environment for both students and faculty to bring out the best outcome from them.

Mission

To provide quality exposure in theory and practice with proficiency, skill and humane values with the best of teaching and industrial expertise.

To continuously strengthen the laboratory learning of students in tune with the best industry processes and practices.

To ensure the updated knowledge and skill sets of students in emerging technologies.

To provide the students the right ambience and opportunities to develop into creative, talented and globally competent Aero professionals.

To promote research and development activities in the sphere of aeronautics for the benefit of the society.

Academics

Under Graduate

The goal of the B. Tech. program in Aeronautical Engineering is to train the students in a broad based manner with equal focus on applications in aircraft engineering, rocket and space technology. The curriculum structure ensures an excellent coverage of vital areas like Aerodynamics, Aircraft structure, Aircraft propulsion, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Aircraft control system Avionics and Aircraft maintenance. Further provision exists to acquire additional engineering knowledge through electives.

Post Graduate

“There is no second chance in Aeronautical industry – 100% confidence should be achieved on the ground itself”. To make 100% confidence about the concepts of Aeronautical Engineering Bharath University is working on the ground with experienced Professors and latest lab facilities.

Research Focus

Research efforts are in progress in the areas of boundary layer theory, flow past high-rise and low-rise buildings and industrial structures. Fuel injection and atomization processes, and computational fluid dynamics in fluidized bed combustion, ramjets, and Fuel cells are some of the research topics currently under progress.

HOD’s Desk Aeronautical

Aeronautical Engineering is a fascinating and high-technology discipline more than 100 years old, still requiring much more contribution by engineers and scientists to broaden its scope and application to develop next generation aircrafts.

Aeronautical engineering is an ever developing discipline full of exciting opportunities and challenges with several private players entering the aeronautical industry, the opportunities are going to be better and better. Job opportunities for an Aeronautical Engineer in India lies with government owned air service, aircraft manufacturers and research centres.

Many of the Aeronautical Engineers get better placement opportunities in the private and public manufacturing sectors and contribute well for the development of the efficient products. The Faculty and students of our department are engaged in acquiring cutting edge technology and the excellent infrastructural facilities available in the department allowing them to delve into pushing the boundaries of the state of the art of technology.

Aeronautical department boasts of dedicated faculty who are committed in providing highest quality students in today's professional workforce. Our programs complement not only the student learning experience, but also business, government and industry. Through internship, research, and innovation we are committed to challenging, mentoring and providing an exceptional learning experience for our students.

I look forward for developing and implementing strategic initiatives which will further enhance the professional education of all our students. BIHER has a strong tradition of integrity, diversity, access, responsibility and excellence. I fully support this initiative of bringing out this souvenir, which is the resultant output of the unwavering dedication of all who had worked for it.

My best wishes and greetings to all the students who are aspiring to become Aeronautical Engineers and take India to the forefront of developed nations.
