Aerospace Engineering Subjects

Hey! So you’re thinking about Aerospace Engineering Subjects? Or maybe you’ve already taken admission and now wondering —
“Bhai, ab exactly kya padhenge? Sirf rockets aur planes ka naam hi hai ya kuch aur bhi?” 😅

Good question! I’m here to break it down for you — no boring textbook talk, just real, simple stuff that you actually want to know. Let’s go! 🚀

🧱 First Year – “Sabko padna padta hai” Wala Year

Okay, let’s be honest — first year = basic engineering gyaan. Nothing very ‘aerospace’ yet. You’ll share classes with mechanical, civil, and computer science folks.

You’ll study:

• Engineering Maths – You’ll wonder why there are so many integrals…

• Physics & Chemistry – Yep, still not done with these.

• Engineering Mechanics – Why things move, fall, and sometimes don’t.

• Electricals & Electronics – Switches, circuits, and a few light shocks in the lab 😂

• Programming – Usually C or Python. Even aerospace engineers gotta code!

• Engineering Drawing – Get ready to draw lines… lots of them.

• Workshop Practice – Basically, play with tools and machines.

✍️ This year is about getting the basics right, even if it doesn’t feel like aerospace yet. Be patient — cool stuff is coming.

✈️ Second Year – Things Start to Fly (Finally!)

Now it gets interesting. You’ll slowly shift from general engineering to stuff that actually sounds aerospace-y.

Subjects include:

• Thermodynamics – How heat, energy, and engines work. Yes, you’ll think about tea cooling down… but scientifically.

• Fluid Mechanics – Air, water, flow… and how they affect flying things.

• Solid Mechanics – What happens when you apply force to something (spoiler: it either bends or breaks).

• Aerospace Materials – Not all metals are equal. Why planes use titanium and not iron.

• Aircraft Structures – Wings, fuselage, tail — how they’re designed to handle stress.

• CAD (Computer-Aided Design) – You finally get to design stuff on the computer.

💬 This is the year you start telling people, “Yes, I’m actually studying aerospace now.”

🚁 Third Year – You’re In Deep Now

Okay now it’s getting real. By third year, you’ll feel like a mini-scientist. The subjects go from “this is interesting” to “wait… I might build something that flies one day!”

You’ll cover:

• Aerodynamics – Understand how wings actually create lift.

• Propulsion – Jet engines. Rocket engines. Pure power.

• Flight Dynamics – How a plane stays stable in air. What makes it turn, climb, fall.

• Avionics – The electronic brain of the aircraft (radars, sensors, etc.)

• Space Mechanics – Satellites, orbits, launch windows. Yes, it’s real stuff.

• Control Systems – How pilots (or autopilot) control the aircraft.

• CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) – Using computers to simulate airflow and designs.

🎯 This year, you’ll also start doing mini-projects and spend more time in the lab than the classroom.

🌌 Final Year – Build, Fly, Repeat

This is the year where you go:
👉 “Okay, now I’m building something for real.”

You’ll get to choose subjects you’re most interested in — this is called “specialization” or “electives.”
And yes, you’ll also work on a major final-year project that you can proudly call your own.

Possible electives:

• Rocket Propulsion (because who doesn’t love rockets?)

• Drone Design

• Helicopter Tech

• Satellite Communications

• Wind Tunnel Testing

• Advanced Aerodynamics

• Finite Element Method (FEM – sounds scary, but it’s useful)

You’ll also work on:

• A full project (team-based)

• Industry internship (hopefully where you can actually touch a plane!)

👨‍🔧 By the end of this year, you’ll go from “engineering student” to “almost aerospace engineer.”

🔬 What About Labs?

Labs are where the magic happens. Expect:

• Aerodynamics Lab – Wind tunnels, airflow testing

• Propulsion Lab – Jet engine models (yes, they roar!)

• Avionics Lab – Play with sensors, navigation systems

• CAD/Simulation Lab – Design, test, repeat

• Structures Lab – Bend it, break it, fix it (on purpose!)

📢 Trust me: you’ll enjoy the labs way more than the lectures.

✅ Quick Recap of Aerospace Engineering Subjects

Here’s your quick snapshot:

🎓 Is It Worth It?

Absolutely — if you’re truly passionate about flying machines and space tech.
It’s not always easy, but it’s always exciting.

And if you’re doing this from a good place like Puran Murti Campus, you’ll have experienced teachers, real lab exposure, and the kind of learning that actually prepares you for the industry.
