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

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 & 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 & 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.

Dear Suyash, Why not, if you fulfill the eligibility criteria for NASA, then can go for NASA after aerospace engineering from LPU. The LPU degree is valid worldwide. My friend did the same programme at LPU. Aerospace is a niche area, the skills required in the industry are beyond the course curriculum of most of the universities. LPU has recognised this and developed the curriculum in consultation with the industry. It has even set up a center for space research with a mission control facility. LPU has set an ambitious goal of developing a satellite LPUSAT-1, which will be launched next year (2021) The Center will enable students and researchers to communicate with the International Space Station (ISS), download lives satellite images, and receive telemetry, Science/engineering data from nano-satellites and larger spacecraft The Center will act as a key facility in the field of space research for LPU as well as a virtual lab for Universities, Colleges and Schools in India and the neighboring countries of India A team of students, Visionauts, from Lovely Professional University have won the prestigious STEM Engagement Award in the 2019 NASA's Human Exploration Rover Challenge held at the US Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. This marks the third consecutive occasion of a team from LPU getting selected to participate in the prestigious competition. Interestingly, the team also got an opportunity to interact with Sunita Williams, a NASA astronaut, and two-time spaceflight veteran, who attended the second day of the event. I hope this helps Thanks!

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.
