Aeronautical or aerospace engineering deals with the design, construction, development, testing and manufacturing of commercial and defence aircraft, spacecraft, missiles and so on.
Four-year B.Tech. and five-year M.Tech. dual degree courses are offered in the branch. Passing them makes one eligible to work as a flight engineer. The minimum qualification required for admission is pass in Plus Two or equivalent examinations with mathematics, physics and chemistry, biotechnology, computer science or biology. Cut-off percentages of marks are prescribed.
The main duty of a flight engineer is pre-flight inspection and ensuring the smooth performance of aircraft. Maintenance and overhaul is part of the job.
Only a few institutions and colleges in India offer the BE, B.Tech. and M.Tech. courses.
The Indian Institutes of Technology in Chennai, Mumbai, Kanpur and Kharagpur are premier centres offering B.Tech. courses in aerospace engineering. They offer the M.Tech. dual degree course too. Admission is through the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). The B.Tech. programme includes basic and engineering sciences and electives, besides the principal areas such as thermodynamics, aerodynamics, aircraft structures, propulsion, flight mechanics and aircraft design.
The following colleges conduct B.Tech. or BE courses in South India.
•Hindustan College of Engineering and Technology, Coimbatore ( www.hindustan.net).
•Hindustan College of Engineering, Chennai (www.hindustancollege. edu).
•Mohammed Sathak Engineering College, Kilakarai, Tamil Nadu – 623 806 ( www.mohammedsathak.e ng.ac.in).
•Park College of Engineering and Technology, Coimbatore.
•Rajalakshmi Engineering College, Chennai ( www.rajalakshmi.com).
•SRM University, Kattamkulathur, Kancheepuram district ( www.srmuniv.ac.in).
•Noorul College of Engineering, Kumarakoil, Thuckalay, Tamil Nadu – 629 175 ( www.niceindia.com).

In Kerala, the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), of the Indian Space Research Organisation, in Thiruvananthapuram ( www.iist.ac.in) offers a B.Tech. course with specialisations in aerospace engineering and avionics relevant to space technology. Admission is through the JEE. The aerospace engineering specialisation has 50 seats and avionics 40.
Those who pass the course with first class will be absorbed as scientist/engineer in the pay scale of 8,000-13,500 (likely to be revised) in ISRO with a service condition of five years.
The Cochin University of Science and Technology and the Amrita School of Engineering at Coimbatore (Ettimadai) and Klappana in Kollam have proposed B.Tech. aerospace engineering courses.
While selecting a private college, look for approval from the All India Council for Technical Education, university affiliation, good infrastructure, placement track-record, quality of faculty, fee and so on.
A qualification equivalent to B.Tech. is the Associate Membership of the Aeronautical Society of India (AeSI), New Delhi. The membership makes one eligible to apply for any aeronautical job for which BE or B.Tech. is the minimum qualification required. Details may be had from the Aeronautical Society of India, 113 B, Indraprastha Estate, New Delhi – 110 002.
Those who have BE or B.Tech. degrees in aeronautical or aerospace engineering can find jobs in airlines, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd., the Defence Research and Development Organisation, the Aeronautical Development Establishment, the Civil Aviation Department, the Indian Air Force and so on.
