Make Your Career in Aerospace Engineering

Aerospace is a multi-disciplinary domain where-in discipline like Mechanical, Computer Science and Electronics are majorly involved. Subject like hydraulics, pneumatics, metallurgy are from Mechanical and Embedded, Control Systems, Digital Signal Processing are from Electronics and the last but not the least software also plays a major role in developing and designing aircraft's and satellites. Boeing and Airbus are the two major civilian aircraft manufacturers. Apart from these two, other major players which are in small and medium size aircraft manufacturing are Bombardier, Cessna Embraer and Dassault.

Companies like Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Rolls-Royce, Williams, SAFRAN, General Electric, BAE Systems and Goodrich Corporation supplies components to these aircraft manufacturers which are very critical in building aircraft's. Boeing and Airbus apart from being leaders in civilian aircraft manufacturing they are also leaders in defence supplies. Other major players are Lockheed Martin, United Technologies Corporation, General Dynamics Corporation and BAE Systems. Most of the above mentioned companies have their offices either in USA or Europe and few of them have offices in India also. Jain University offers B.Tech-Aerospace engineering and is one of the best aerospace engineering colleges in Bangalore. Students from branches as mentioned above apart from aerospace also get a chance to work in any of these companies provided they have done good projects and prepare themselves well as per the specific requirements in any of their division. Students need to possess and exhibit extraordinary skills to get selected in these companies as the opportunities are limited unlike IT companies.

As quoted by Sir J.M.Barrie, a renowned novelist, “The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings”, students who want to excel in aerospace domain need to have resilient passion about the subject.
