So, for the future, it is better to do PG and Ph.D in the field. Opportunities are high in the field of Research and Development, especially if you do a Ph.D. They can also join the Teaching field if interested.
Learning through Simulation in this field is high so the Development of models is of utmost priority. Learning through simulation is high as training is not only costly but also risky and Life threatening. Career programming in this field is also required. Learning the programming languages of Python, C++, MatLab, HTML requires at least a good understanding of Database systems such as Excel. Accurate calculations such as Micro and Nano have to make Engineering decisions based on it. Whatever the mistake, the consequences can be devastating. Therefore, it is very important for Aerospace Engineers to learn programming in view of the risks, loss of life and Property.
✩ Is it possible to explore for Minerals in Asteroids?
✩ Can a Human go to Mars during the holidays?
✩ Can Symbiosis with alien creatures be true?
✩ These questions may seem meaningless right now. But these are likely to come true in the near Future. There are other miracles that can happen in the daily experiments of man on the cosmos. Just to understand when that time is experienced. The Department of Aerospace Engineering is constantly striving to make such dreams come true.
Every Engineering branch needs some Basic skills as well as certain specialized techniques related to the Branch, considered as the branch attributes. The following is required for the Department of Aerospace Engineering.
Analysis techniques are very necessary as mistakes can lead to extremely costly, life- threatening accidents.
Business development in the field of Aerospace Engineering is primarily subject to Government regulation. In order for a company to make a profit while complying with the rules, it has to propose decisions based on Business standards. The skill of striking a balance between these two different goals is truly an attribute.
Aerospace Engineers should not only design in alternative ways but also critically analyze why a proposed design is good and why it is not useful. The process will take into account a variety of factors, such as the need for raw materials, the need for other Resources, Security, Government Sanctions, Regulations, Profitability for the Organization, Quality Standards, and Acceptability.
In this Branch the principles of Addition, Subtraction, Trigonometry, etc,. are widely applied. That is why Mathematics should be practiced well. In addition, the basics of Physics should be known.
A thorough understanding of the issues requires careful analysis. Finding answers to Analysis, Building new designs, increasing Energy Efficiency, and finding efficient answers to persistent problems such as Security systems, that is, understanding how much problem- solving techniques are needed.
Aerospace Engineers are required to work in co-ordination not only with their own department, but also with Engineering staff from other Departments, the Government, Environmental and Astronomical Agencies, and other groups. It requires good oral and written Communication skills. Also be able to standardize various reports keeping in view future needs.
