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

Hello!
Aerospace engineering is concerned with designing and building aircraft and spacecraft. Aerospace engineering can be divided into two specializations: aeronautical engineers, who handle aircraft, and astronautical engineers, who design spacecraft. In simple terms it as below:
Aeronautical = helicopters, airplanes, uav, aircrafts, flying quads, etc. Aerospace = aeronautical + space Science (missiles, rockets, satellites, etc. )
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 aircra

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. The department has to its credit more than 48 research publications in International, National Journals including prestigious ASME Transactions, International Conference and National Conference. I hope it helps you.

Hi,
Aerospace engineering deals with everything both within and out of the earth's atmosphere. Aeronautical engineering is basically a branch of aerospace engineering.

The key difference between aeronautical and aerospace engineering is Aeronautical Engineering is the study of aircraft operate within the earth's atmosphere while Aerospace Engineering is the study of aircraft operate within & out of the earth's atmosphere
LPU is a right place for Aerospace Engineering. The programme comes with engineering minors:
1. AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE
2. SPACE ENGINEERING and pathway electives:
3. ADVANCED AEROSPACE TESTING AND DOCUMENTATION for industry immersion. LPU is renowned private university with more than 30,000 students and experienced faculty from various institutes. There are more than 250 courses which are

There are some basic differences between Aeronautical Engineering & Aerospace Engineering related to course structure, prospect etc. I have listed down some of the difference as per my understanding. For Aeronautical Engineering :
Programme Structure: - Fixed Scheme
Primary Focus: - They work with aircraft that stay within the earth's atmosphere such as airplanes and helicopters. Covers Navigation, Metrology, Design of Airdromes, and public policy also for airports etc. Facts:- None of the IITs offer aeronautical engineering degree. For Aerospace Engineering:
Programme Structure:-
Fixed Scheme
specialisation can be offered in (I) Thermal

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:
