The Department of Aeronautical Engineering at School of

Engineering and Technology, Karpagam University has a
tradition of offering a richly integrated curriculum of technical
education.
The main objective is to establish the department as a
renowned academic and research centre to cater to the needs
of the student community for the development of the nation.
The students have ample opportunities to investigate and carry
out experiments more than that is prescribed in their
curriculum.
Experimental and computational facilities are going to be
upgraded.
 DEPARTMENT OF AERONAUTICAL
ENGINEERING

The Department of Aeronautical Engineering is

committed to
Disseminate knowledge through seminars, conferences
and continuing education programs.
Make tie-ups with industries, research centers and
renowned institutions to synergize the benefit.
Contribute towards the up-liftment of the society.
DEPARTMENT OF AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING

VISION

To develop into a world class leading university consisting

of school of excellence in Aeronautical Engineering
concerned with Design, Construction, Development, Testing
& Manufacture of commercial and Defense Aircraft, Missiles,
Launch Vehicle and Space Craft.
MISSION

• Aeronautical Engineering Department aims to train the

students in a broad based manner with equal focus on
applications in aircraft engineering, rocket and space
technology.

• The curriculum is designed to impart engineering

knowledge in topics such as structural mechanics,
aerodynamics, propulsion, and space dynamics.

• Further provision exists to acquire additional engineering

knowledge through electives.

• The importance of computational-skill enhancement

through the development of one's own programs as well as
the use of advanced software is stressed throughout.
