B.E. Aeronautical Engineering (Accredited by NBA)
The Department of Aeronautical Engineering is located at Othakalmandapam, Coimbatore, on the sprawling campus of Hindusthan College of Engineering and Technology. It first opened its doors in 2005, with a capacity of 60 students. From the academic year 2008-2009 forward, the sanctioned intake increased to 120 students. The Department is directed by a dedicated team of teaching and non-teaching staff with a wide range of experience, and it has well-equipped laboratories and good infrastructure to support the autonomous curricular needs. Until now, the department has been in the forefront of advancing aeronautical education and indigenous research in the field of aeronautics. This was made possible by a capable, dedicated, and efficient faculty and cutting-edge laboratory facilities.
The department works for student development and overall quality, as well as meaningful object-oriented academic engagement between students and faculty in a healthy environment. It also aids in the development of creativity, uniqueness, and group dynamism among students. The Department is proud of its students who are serving in the Indian Air Force, Indian Army and Indian Navy. Students are also placed in DRDO laboratories, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, UTC Aerospace System India, Saffron Aerospace, Airbus Group India, Boeing, Collins, BELL Helicopter India, GE, ALTRAN, Indigo Airlines, L&T Infotech, Info view, CTS, Infosys, and other leading companies. A significant number of students are pursuing higher studies in IITs and Foreign Universities. A strong mentoring support are providing to the students to take participation in State/National/International level competitions.
The department has received funds from various funding agencies such as AICTE (RPS & MODROBS scheme), ISRO, IE(I), AeSI. The department has signed functional MoU’S with leading aviation companies. Institute has received the approval for the second DGCA approved Remote Pilot Training Organization (RPTO) which is inaugurated by Honorable Chief minister of Tamilnadu. It is successfully producing the efficient drone pilots. In addition, drone development activities, Helicopter maintenance and operation activities are in full swing towards skill development and job opportunities. A separate helipad and flying area is dedicated for helicopter operations.
