Post graduate Program in Aerospace Engineering
The M.Tech. program is designed to acquaint the student with
the various aspects of Aerospace engineering through several courses,
both introductory and in the specialized area followed by research,
leading to a thesis on a topic in the area. A student in the M.Tech.
program is required to complete at a satisfactory level, a minimum
of 8 courses and 32 units (two semester load) of research leading
to a thesis.
In the first and second semester, a student in the M.Tech. program
will be registered for 8 courses (4 courses in each semester).
Towards the end of the second semester he will be assigned to
a field of specialization on the basis of his aptitude, background,
and availability of the faculty. A thesis supervisor will also
be assigned about the same time. In the third and fourth semester
he will continue research work towards completion of his thesis.
The Ph.D. program is aimed at helping the student acquire proficiency in the chosen area through course work, followed by doctoral research. A Ph.D. student is required to complete a minimum of 4 courses and 32 units (two semester load) of research subject to a minimum total academic load of 4 semesters. He is also required to pass the Ph.D. comprehensive examination held on completion of his course work.
A student in the Ph.D. program will register
for four elective courses, as advised by DPGC
member belonging to his area of specialization,
if thesis supervisor has not been decided at
the time of registration. In other cases, he
may register for thesis on the advice of supervisor.
In the subsequent semester he registers for
research and courses as advised by his supervisor.
At the end of the course work the student will
appear for the Ph.D. comprehensive examination,
and continue his research towards completion
of his Doctoral Thesis.
