Aerospace Engineering

NASTRAN is an acronym formed from NASA STRucture Analysis. NASTRAN is primarily a solver for finite element analysis. It does not have functionality that allows for graphically building a model or meshing. All input and output to the programme is in the form of text files. However, multiple software vendors market pre- and post-processors designed to simplify building a finite element model and analysing the results.
MSC Nastran is the original commercial Nastran product and most popular software in the field. MSC Nastran is commonly utilized for performing structural analysis. Although utilized in every industry, it maintains a strong following in aerospace and automotive industries for performing computational stress and strain analysis of component and system level models of structures.
Patran is also used for pre/post-processing software for Finite Element Analysis (FEA), providing solid modeling, meshing, analysis setup and post-processing for multiple solvers including MSC Nastran, Marc, Abaqus, LS-DYNA, ANSYS, and Pam-Crash.
If you are planning to an aeronautical or aerospace or automobile designer with MNCs, you may have access to these software for design work.

The B.Tech program in aerospace engineering in Jain University offered by IIAEM (International Institute for Aerospace Engineering and Management) B.Tech (Aerospace Engineering) colleges in Bangalore, India is one of a kind mainly because there are only a few institutions in India which offers this course.
The course curriculum is designed based on the latest industry standards which will help the students get a sound knowledge on aeronautics and space technology. A special feature of the program is the Flight Lab Course arranged at IIT (Kanpur) as part of the B.Tech program.
The duration of the course is 4 years which consists of 8 semesters and the selection criteria is based on merit in the qualifying entrance exam. Another added benefit is that, the students will get an opportunity to carry out projects with the top most and prestigious organisations.
After completing the course, the aerospace engineering graduates will have a wide variety of careers to choose from, including positions in:
Research design and development marketing, field service, software development and teaching.

Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) is the primer institute for education in the field of Aerospace engineering. You are advised to appear for JEE Advanced for doing B.Tech aerospace engineering. All expenses for doing B.Tech aerospace engineering at IIST is paid by the government of India with a job at ISRO subject to availability of vacancies.
Candidates wishing to join the graduation degree programmes at IIST must appear for JEE (Advanced) conducted by IITs (visit http://www.jeeadv.ac.in/ for more details). IIST admission rank list is generated only for those candidates who register online for admission to IIST and satisfy all the eligibility criteria. IIST admission rank list is repaired based on their JEE. The IIST web portal for online registration will be open from 22nd May, up to 12th June 2017. The IIST admission counselling will be conducted during the fourth week of June 2017. You may please visit IIST admission website for further information including eligibility criteria, minimum prescribed marks in JEE (Advanced)-2017, reservation policy, fee and performance based financial assistance and policy of absorption in ISRO/DOS, etc.

Aerospace engineering is concerned with designing and building aircraft and spacecraft. Aerospace engineering can be divided into two specializations: aeronautical engineers handle design, manufacturing and maintenance of aircraft, helicopters and UAV, etc. and astronautically engineers, who design spacecraft, rockets, satellites, and others. Aeronautical engineering was the original term for the field. Both aerospace engineering and aeronautical engineers are niche branch of engineering with lot of similarities in syllabus with almost 90% overlap. Aerospace engineering is the most exciting engineering branch which is leading in new technology generation and innovation. Most of the technology developed in the fields is used by various industries subsequently. If you love technology and it challenges then it is a branch for you.
There are lots of good career opportunities on completion of aerospace / aeronautical engineering graduates. You can join DRDO/ ISRO/ aviation manufacturing or its ancillary units/ Airlines/ Air Force/ Educational Institutes/ R&D Units / IT, etc. on completion of graduation degree. High number of aerospace engineers move abroad for job opportunities.
