B.Tech. Aeronautical Engineering

Jawaharlal College of Engineering and Technology was established by Nehru Group of Institutions, founded by devoted and eminent professionals having long and outstanding experience in the field of Aeronautical education. It is the first college to introduce B.Tech programme in Aeronautical Engineering in the state of Kerala and become functional from 2008 onwards.

The Department of Aeronautical Engineering established in the year 2008, conducts the programme on B.Tech in Aeronautical Engineering with a vision to attain excellence and global reputation in Aeronautical Engineering education and research. Well qualified and experienced team of faculty of the department is committed to provide quality education by innovative teaching-learning processes. All the faculty members of the department qualified in Aeronautical Engineering with different specializations are involved in continuously upgrading their skill. The curriculum is periodically reviewed in pace with the global industrial scenario utilizing the services of resource persons. Introduction of the choice based credit system enables the students to select the courses of his/her choice in various inter disciplinary areas of engineering. The department has state of the art infrastructure and laboratory facilities providing conducive learning environment to the students and faculty. Various Associations and professional bodies are actively involved in promoting co - curricular and extracurricular activities, aimed to improve the leadership qualities of the students. The students are successful in pursuing higher studies in the leading institutions such as IITs, in India and leading universities in abroad.

Department of Aeronautical Engineering has produced many university rank holders since the establishment. The journey of excellence is continuing by producing 6 ranks out of top 10 ranks while passing out the first APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University batch.

Aeronautical Engineers will design, construct and test aircraft, missiles, satellites, rockets, spacecrafts and anything that flies. Besides this, they are also involved in researching new materials, engines, body shapes and structures. An Aeronautical engineer applies scientific and technological principles to research, design, develop, maintain and test the performance of civil and military aircraft, missiles, weapons systems, satellites and space vehicles. They also work on the different components that make up the aircraft and associated systems. They focus on enhancing high-quality flight safety and standards as well as reducing overall design, operation and maintenance costs. To an extent, their role addresses the environmental impacts of air travel. Higher order specialization in the Aeronautical Engineering involves core subjects such as Aircraft Structures, Aerodynamics, Avionics, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Finite Element Methods, Material Science, Propulsion, Rockets & missiles, Vibration & Aeroelasticity.
