Aerospace Engineering colleges in Bangalore

There are nearly 15 Aerospace Engineering colleges in Bangalore, out of these nearly 85% colleges are private and over 15% are government. Aerospace Engineering focuses on designing and building machines that fly. It is one of the newest branches of engineering and came into existence in the 19^th century with the first experiments in powered flight. As the technology evolved, Aerospace Engineering advanced in designing aircraft such as powered lighter-than-air craft, fixed-wing airplanes, jets, autogyros, gliders and helicopters. An Aerospace Engineer designs spacecraft, aircraft, missiles and weapons systems. In addition, they are also responsible for assembling, maintaining and ensuring they function properly at all times. Some specialise in other important equipment such as air guidance systems, guidance control systems, propulsions, etc.

Aerospace Engineers specialises in two types of Engineering:

• Aeronautical Engineer: An Aeronautical Engineer works on aircrafts and its components.
• Astronomical Engineer: An Astronomical Engineer works specifically on spacecraft and related technologies.

Aerospace Engineers carry out multiple activities like:

• Developing new technologies for use in spacecraft, aviation and defense systems.
• Designing, assembling and testing of aircraft and aerospace products.
• Examine damage or malfunction in equipment to find our possible reason and offer a solution.
• Assessing the cost and feasibility of new projects proposed to be undertaken.
• Determining quality standard acceptance criteria for design methods, quality standards, sustainment after delivery, and completion dates.
• Evaluating that the project or the product meets engineering principles, safety norms, customer requirements and environmental challenges.
• Manufacturing aircraft and individual components in coordination with the design team.
• Aerospace Engineers take on specialised areas of functioning such as software engineering, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, for automation and guidance purposes, aerodynamics or propulsion systems.

Aerospace Engineers work mostly in the government agencies and manufacturing industries. Apart from it, a few aerospace engineers are chosen to work at the International Space Station such as NASA.

An Aerospace Engineer must possess qualities like:

• Excellent academic background in Science stream
• Strong analytical and mathematical skills
• Creativity and innovativeness in product designing
• Eye for detail
• Ability to work under pressure and for long hours
• Scientific acumen
• Physical stamina
• Ability to work in a team and be able to lead a team
