Overview of Aerospace Engineering Studies

The Division of Aerospace Engineering at Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences (KITS) was launched in the year 2009 with the primary objective of producing Aerospace Engineers to meet the growing demand and to serve the civilian aeronautical as well as the defense oriented sectors. Aeronautical Engineering topics are also finding applications in the civil sections as well in UAV based surveying, Advanced Cooling Technologies for miniaturised electronics, Composite Materials for automobiles, electronics, packaging, sports equipment etc. Our budding engineers acquire skills in core domains like Aerodynamics, Stress Analysis, Materials and Structures, Aircraft Design, Propulsion, Space Dynamics, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Smart Manufacturing that enables them to understand physical laws and cruise through time and space by being creative and innovative, thus opening-up the limitless opportunities in an endless space.

The students are trained in aerospace design and analysis software and offered value-added courses in Digital Manufacturing, Artificial Intelligence in Aerospace manufacturing, Value Engineering etc., to keep them abreast with the latest developments. Over the years the Division of Aerospace Engineering has groomed 500+ engineers who have grown to occupy strategic positions at research organizations like GTRE and NAL, MNCs like Accenture, Capgemini, and Infosys, and in highly reputed companies like Quest Global, Agnikul Cosmos etc., to name a few. Moreover, one-in-four of our graduates pursue higher studies and research in top universities like Cranfield & Coventry in UK; Purdue in USA, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia and Technion in Israel.

With India’s remarkable achievements in space and the tremendous growth of air travel, the demand for trained professionals in Aerospace Engineering across the globe is increasing like never before with a wide range of opportunities in research and higher studies.

Testimonies

It is my joy and pleasure to share my experiences and the values I had imbibed from this great university. Before I begin, I thank God Almighty, for enabling me to do much more than I dreamt and helped me to come out as a bright student of the Aerospace Engineering department. God was faithful enough to give me a CGPA of 9.16 and an on-campus placement in Infosys. He opened a job opportunity in my core area in Team Indus- Axiom Research Labs. Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore, where I started working even before my graduation. “One in a million, we are God’s choice”, a familiar line, which reminds me why I landed up in Karunya University, even though I never planned it before. In the last four years, I have been transformed from a kiddish schoolgirl to a mature, responsible and young professional. For this, I owe a great deal to God, parents, staff and friends. I take this moment to gladly remember their help, moral support and the knowledge they imparted to me. To mention some, I have come across staff who were really encouraging, who were ready to clear even the silliest doubt and finally staff who tried to impart knowledge as well as moral values. I am thankful to my professor and project guide who directed me to the company where I am working now. I am proud that the excellent teaching and the infrastructure provided by the department are certainly on par with any of the top colleges in India. And talking about friends, there were a few who were a support when I was startled in this new system and surrounding, friends who encouraged, friends who sneered at me to mould me as a better person and friends to whom I could share everything. Staying in Karunya was fun with birthday parties, hanging out, Industrial Visits and much more. And surely, I miss the morning assembly and prayer cells which used to be an encouragement for the whole day. To be frank, I enjoyed the response or the excitement of my relatives and friends, when they came to know that I am placed in a core company after my B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering. The joy of explaining to them about the various facts of this fascinating Engineering is great. I am proud when they compare me with the great astronauts of all times. Those sleepless nights before the submission of assignments, tensed days before the exams and strenuous preparations for the placement interviews are worth it now. In short, as a proud Karunyan, I will cherish all these throughout my life.
Venkata Sai Krishna Venkata Sai Krishna

My name is Venkata Sai Krishna and I belong to the batch of 2017 of the Aerospace Engineering department. Right from the day I stepped into the department, the faculty at the department motivated and supported me to achieve what I am today in my life. I had the opportunity of learning from veteran Scientists, Industrial experts and well-learned faculty team. It was here that I realised that the greater your goal in life the harder you have to push yourself. The lab facilities at the department are of top notch where I obtained my motivation to excel in the field of Aerospace Engineering. The workshops and symposiums organized by the department were very helpful in understanding the latest developments in this field. I was motivated us the faculty to deliver seminars on recent advancements and that helped me not only to sharpen my technical knowledge but also my communication skills and confidence.

Because of these, I was able to secure a GATE score of 526/1000 (AIR 103) in the Aerospace Engineering discipline in 2017 and a score of 752/1000 (AIR 44) in 2019. True to its vision of raising leaders to serve the humanity, am serving the Nation at the Defence Research Development Organization in the capacity of Scientist B. I am ever indebted to Karunya University and the Aerospace Engineering department for enabling me to be who I am today.
