DEPARTMENT OF AERONAUTICS AND ASTRONAUTICS

Introduction

MS Aerospace Engineering is an indigenous MS program started by IST. This will provide students with an opportunity to gain deeper understanding of the principles of Propulsion and will prepare the students for a successful career in this expanding and dynamic field. The field of aerospace technology offers a wide range of employment opportunities to those with the proper educational background. An aerospace team is made up of engineers, scientists, and technicians. Positions are available through the private sector as well as within the government sector. Examples of major engineering roles in the aerospace industry include:

  • Analysis
  • Design
  • Materials and Processes
  • Systems Engineering
  • Software Development
  • Manufacturing
  • Flight Research

Elective Courses

Following electives can be studies along with 3 out of 4 compulsory subjects in MS Program in Aerospace Engineering. These electives are combined of all specialization offers under "Local MS Programs" in MS Aerospace Engineering. Along with these electives, one subject (Compulsory of other specialization) related to any field can be studied as per student choice regardless of the specialization. "However the approval of the departmental Advisory Committee is a requisite for the course selection. Request(s) to add/drop a course(s) without the approval of the said committee will not be considered/processed".
