Can I go in NASA if I choose aerospace engineering branch in LPU?

B.Tech in Aerospace engineering is one of the most sought after programs in LPU. LPU is way ahead in this field as it has even set up the Center for space research and mission control. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.lpu.in/FullNewsRelease/LPU-sets-up-Center-for-Space-Research-with-Mission-Control-facility.php" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://www.lpu.in/FullNewsRelease/LPU-sets-up-Center-for-Space-Research-with-Mission-Control-facility.php</a> The eligibility criteria is pass with 60% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with Physics, Mathematics and English) or equivalent, subject to qualifying LPU NEST. The programme comes with engineering minors: AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE SPACE ENGINEERING and pathway electives: ADVANCED AEROSPACE TESTING AND DOCUMENTATION for industry immersion. To be in NASA, there are certain tests that you have to qualify but yes, LPU provides opportunities similar to that like recently a team from Lovely Professional University (LPU), Punjab called Visionauts comprising seven B.Tech Mechanical Engineering final year students represented the university in the annual event held on April 12-13 at the US Space &amp; Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. This marks the third consecutive year, a team from LPU has been selected by NASA for the competition. Hope this helps DVD.

Yes, specifically for getting into NASA, one should have excellent knowledge talent and hard work. One should have thorough updates about the domain. Aerospace needs a lot of research and thesis which will help you to get you to another level. Also, LPA has collaborations with many foreign universities so one can also choose to study abroad.

Hi Suyash, your dreams took to wings long back. Interesting and inspiring as well. Of course, if you work hard, learn all that is being taught and pursue with an innovative bent of mind, you will surely succeed. The course for Aerospace Engineering has been designed for learners who intend to design aircraft, spacecraft, satellites and missiles. In addition, these engineers test prototypes to make sure that they function according to plans. These professionals also design components and sub-assemblies for these craft like engines, air-frames, wings. The course equips a student to be able to effectively build and communicate the solutions crafted using learnings from basic aerospace engineering, basic sciences, mathematics and computational skills and tools. He will have the ability to comprehend the problems and craft solutions in the field of Aerodynamics, Aerospace structure, Aerospace Vehicle design and propulsions. He will rightly apply the associated learning for the atmospheric Flight mechanics, JET And Rocket propulsions, Gas Dynamics, and Space Flight Mechanics for the solutions to real world problems. He would demonstrate the ability to propose cost effective optimized solutions for aerospace sector using simulated environment of Computer aided design, computer aided manufacturing and computer aided engineering. As per the NIRF ranking, LPU is ranked 66th among all government and private universities. As per the Times of India ranking LPU was at no 36. The highest package offered in the course is about 15 Lacs, the lowest package is 3-4 Lacs and the average package is 6-7 Lacs. There are many internship opportunities at the university. Students start getting internships in the first year onwards. 9.55 LPA was the highest salary package last year.

Yes, If you are a dedicate student, then you can achieve anything. LPU will help you in guiding and providing the basic education. Lovely Professional University is renowned for providing Industry specific &amp; Global Standard Quality Education. LPU is not only the Best University of the country but also the university with the most diverse student population. Learning in LPU will make you a truly global citizen. Aerospace Engineering is a branch of Engineering that provides skills and knowledge to design, manufacture and maintain spacecrafts, aircrafts, missiles and weapons systems. A large part of Aerospace Engineering consists of Mechanical Engineering covering a wide range of topics, including computer application, structures, mathematics, Physics drafting, electricity, robotics, aeronautics etc. It also covers two aspects of engineering, namely Aeronautical Engineering and Astronomical Engineering. In LPU for Aerospace Engineering following frameworks are maintained: Programme Structure:- Fixed Scheme specialisation can be offered in (I)Thermal and Propulsion, (ii)Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics and (iii)Structures and Design etc. Primary Focus:- A degree in aerospace engineering cover both: (I) aircraft that stay within the earth's atmosphere such as airplanes and helicopters. (ii) Aircraft that operate outside of the earth's atmosphere such as rockets, satellites, and other spacecraft. Does not cover much on Policy frameworks for airports, Design of Airdromes etc. Facts:- LPU's course curriculum &amp; innovative pedagogy is at per the curriculum offered by IIT Bombay, IIT Kharapur, IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras who are offering B.Tech and B.Tech-M.Tech (Integrated) programmes in Aerospace engineering. Job Prospect : - Aerospace engineering may lead to jobs with space research organizations like NASA and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) or with large aviation companies like Boeing and Airbus. Besides them DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation), CAD (Civil Aviation Department), NAL (National Aeronautics Ltd) and HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited) also employ aerospace engineers. Last Year (Till Date) Placement Record of Aerospace Engineering of LPU till date (In spite of present pandemic situation): 9.55 LPA (CABINET SECRETARIAT, GOI) was the highest salary package. Student also availed: 6 LPA (DELHIVERY) 4.26 LPA is the average salary package of the Batch till date Hope your query is resolved.

LPU is one of the reputed institutes for engineering programme. Aerospace engineering is the primary field of engineering concerned with the development of aircfaft and spacecraft. The programme at LPU is Designed for learners intend to design aircraft, spacecraft, satellites and missiles. In addition, these engineers test prototypes to make sure that they function according to plans. These professionals also design components and sub-assemblies for these craft like engines, air-frames, wings. Flight vehicles are subjected to demanding conditions such as those caused by changes in atmospheric pressure and temperature withstructural loads applied upon vehicle components. So a practical tested knowledge of the same is evident. Therefore Industry certifications, MOOCs, Hackathons / Co-curricular Competitive events, Workshops, Guest lectures, Educational Trips, Live projects, Incubation projects, Community projects, projects with NGOs etc. Are an integral part of curriculum. To highlight the stream I would like to mention a few achievements in the stream: A team of Seven students, Visionauts have won the Stem Engagement Award in Nasa Human Exploration Rover Challenge held at the US Space Rocket center in Huntsville, Alabama. Sathwik Bikumalla, Gopalchetty Brahma and Vinay Kumar Reddy won Gold Rank at International Astronomy and Astrophysics Competition. I hope this information helps you to take a better decision.
