What is the difference between aeronautical and aerospace engineering?

Hello! Aeronautical engineering is the practice of designing and building aircraft, like airplanes and helicopters. Students earning a degree in aeronautical engineering take classes such as: Thermodynamics Heat Transfer Aircraft Structures Flight Mechanics Aircraft Stability and Control On the astronautical side of aerospace engineering, professionals design and build units like space shuttles and space stations. In addition to the aeronautical engineering courses listed above, students earning a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering will take astronautical courses like: Spacecraft Design Introduction to Astronautics Fundamentals of JET Propulsion Spacecraft Dynamics Orbital Mechanics My brother has done Aerospace engineering from LPU. Fee per semester is 98,000 INR without scholarship. Aerospace is a specialised branch of engineering which deals with the design and development of aircraft's as well as space crafts The course curriculum covers aspects of two branches of engineering - Aeronautical and Astronautical engineering. The course also focuses on new technologies in aviation, defense systems, and space exploration. Lovely Professional University is the largest and best private university in India. LPU environment is so conducive to learning. It is perpetually ranked as a top private engineering college in India. Life at University isn't just about Studying and Hard Work, its about balance. Highlights/Achievements of Aerospace Engineering at LPU: The students with the guidance of the department and University are very active in the field of automobile research and activities. A student has an Automobile club under Society of Automobiles India, Under which the teams have participated in various competitions by making their vehicle in Supra SAE (Student Formula CAR), Baja SAE India, BAJA SAE USA, Efficycle (LPU Hosted the SAE Efficycle event in Oct-2015. Organized International Go-Kart Championship which is a student-initiated automotive event the first international event of its kind receiving participation from all over ASIA. The Mechanical Department has highly experienced and qualified staff pursuing their research in thrust areas such as CAD/CAM, Mechanical design, Thermal engineering, Fluid dynamics, Manufacturing Engineering, Tool design, and Flexible Manufacturing Systems/Automation. I hope this helps. All the Best!

Aerospace engineering focuses on designing both aircraft and spacecraft and it is a study of all the space crafts used within and out of the earth's atmosphere while Aeronautical Engineering is the study of aircraft that operates within the earth's atmosphere. Being an alumni I want to share my thoughts on this as my sister has done the same course from LPU itself. Aerospace is a specialised branch of engineering which deals with the skills and knowledge to design, manufacture and maintain spacecrafts, aircrafts, missiles and weapons systems. The course curriculum covers aspects of two branches of engineering - aeronautical and astronautically engineering. The course also focuses on new technologies in aviation, defence systems, and space exploration. It also includes aerodynamics, propulsion, avionics, materials Science, structural analysis and manufacturing. PLACEMENTS: Companies like Every year more than 550 companies visit LPU for placement purposes. Companies like Ashok Leyland, Bosch, and Siemens Home Appliances, Volkswagon, Unominda, Voltas, Anglo-Eastern Ship Mgt. , Asahi India, Rockman (Hero group), Dharam Consulting, Samundra, Indo-MIM, Sandhar Technologies, JK Lakshmi Cement, Maruti, Lava, XL Dynamics, Asahi India, Cleanmax Solar, Elgi Equipments, VA tech Wabag, Thermax, Bristlecone, Tex Fasteners, GigaSolar, Westline Shipping, Raam Group, Nylocore Transmissions. First batch started in 2016 with class of 27 students, out of which 19 has registered for placements and 8 students decided to go for higher studies. Out of 19 students, 13 are placed (70% Placed) and still there are many placement drives to happen till the month of July to secure more than 100% Placement by offering dual offer letters to some students. (Also, provides on job training and internships with the same mentioned companies). 12 LPA by CLICK LABS (PLACEMENT DURING PANDEMIC). .

Aeronautical engineering deals with the design, study and the flying of the aircrafts within the earth's atmosphere where as aerospace engineering includes the study of both the aircrafts that is being used in as well as out of the earth's atmosphere. Aeronautical engineering is a division of aerospace engineering. LPU offers a B.Tech degree in Aerospace Engineering. LPU provides ample opportunities to each and every eligible student of lpu to secure a good placement. Every year more than 550 companies visit lpu for recruitment purpose. Companies which recruit from IIT's and Iims also land at lpu for recruitment purpose. Lpu has made professional enhancement classes as an integral part of the curriculum which helps students in their growth. LPU is also conferred with National Employ ability Award 2020 by Aspiring Minds for the 7th time in a row for having Most Employable Students and being one among the top colleges and universities in India with one of the highest Employ ability rates. In lpu student practice on live models and this programme 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.

Dear Mahesh, As of now, as per the trend, CSE is the most sought after branch by the prospective students. LPU is absolutely right option and choice not only for CSE rather all the streams and domains are of supreme stature. CSE is at high demand for nowadays and initiatives taken by LPU for nurturing and moulding the young children in to India's best engineers are really appreciable. Some of the unique features are: # 12 centers of excellence set up by industry majors themselves. Even the IITs and NITs are appreciating campus wide facilities in terms of IT. # Online access to research journals, leading company annual reports and business dissertations with design analysis for ERP. # Design and Development of software and databases for data analysis. # Option to opt for industry relevant and industry delivered skills to enhance placement prospects. # Student driven activities for leadership and technological development Software exhibitions on applications and research projects. # Back up and support by top companies for academics and curriculum like Microsoft, IBM, Cognizant etc. # All this coupled with country's the biggest placement extravaganza! Over 650 top companies into campus with over 60 offering 10 lacs and above makes LPU a clear leader.

Hello Mahesh, Aeronautical engineering is a part of aerospace engineering. They both are equal in importance so that we can't say which is better. Though both appear to be the same, there is a difference. The two types of aerospace engineers include aeronautical engineers (they work with aircraft that stay within the earth's atmosphere such as aeroplanes and helicopters) and aerospace engineers (they work with the aircraft that operates outside of the earth's atmosphere such as rockets, satellites, and other and spacecraft). A degree in aerospace engineering should cover them both.

Dear, Aerospace engineers and mechanical engineers both work on the development and construction of equipment and devices. However, the field of aerospace engineering is more narrow than mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineering is a particularly broad field, encompassing work done in a wide variety of industries and serving a multitude of purposes. Many of the same engineering principles apply to both fields, but aerospace engineers tackle aerodynamics and flight mechanics in a way that mechanical engineers typically do not. While aerospace engineers keep their focus on devices related to the aerospace field, mechanical engineers work on many different types of machines, including equipment for both industrial and domestic purpose.
