The aim of this course is to provide a general overview of the field of Aeronautical Engineering to interested students. The course will consist of ten Capsules, each consisting of two Lectures. Each Lecture will cover a specific concept or area relevant to the subject. An attempt will be made to cover the contents in an interesting manner, by a judicious use of a mix of powerpoint presentations, in-class activities, quizzes, innovative and hands on assignments that will not only increase the awareness of the students, but also satiate their curiosity and desire to know more about the various concepts related to the subject.INTENDED AUDIENCE : Any discipline of Engineering, who are interested in the subjectPREREQUISITES : NAINDUSTRY SUPPORT : DRDO, HAL, NAL, IAF
Introduction to Aerospace Engineering
Indian Institute of Technology Bombay and NPTEL via Swayam
