About Department
The Department of Aerospace Engineering is one of the youngest engineering disciplines of the B.M.S. College of Engineering autonomous under Visvesvaraya Technological University, established in the year 2018. The department has fostered excellence in undergraduate education while advancing research that pushes the boundaries of aeronautical and astronautical engineering. It focuses on teaching and research in aerodynamics, propulsion & combustion, flight mechanics and dynamics, aircraft materials & structures, avionics & navigation systems and space mechanics for driving the powerful insights and innovations needed to take on today's most complex engineering challenges. Having an undergraduate intake strength of 60, the Department has successfully passed out students from the academic year 2022.
Department Profile
Department of Aerospace Engineering has currently total of 10 faculties with most of the faculty having their doctoral studies done in Indian Institutes of Technologies and IISc. The faculty research competency is spread across the various domains of Aerospace Engineering: Aerodynamics, Combustion, Aerospace Materials and Structures and others. Visiting faculties have a very rich experience from the Defense and Aerospace industry, offering specialized course on Aircraft Maintenance. This is helping the student community to further their studies blended with research in their higher semesters. Therefore many of the students have published their research work in reputed conferences and journals. On the placement front, students have been placed in many industries like Airbus, Collins Aerospace, TATA Advanced Systems, TCS, TCE, Axiscades, Belcan, SG Aerospace and many other companies. Our students have equally excelled in post-graduation studies by continuing their Masters and Ph.D studies in IITs, US Universities like Georgia Tech, Sothern California, Purdue, Arizona and others along with European universities like ISAE-SUPAero, TUM and others. Department has the proud distinction of making students achieve their dreams in Defense forces with graduates completing their training in Indian Airforce as pilots and maintenance engineers. Aerospace students routinely participate and win many national Aircraft and Drone design, building and flying competitions.
