B.S. in Aerospace Engineering, or Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering, is a 4-year undergraduate degree that focuses on the design, development, testing, and production of aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems and equipment. It is a branch of engineering that combines elements of mechanical engineering, aerodynamics, materials science, computer science, and electrical engineering to create and improve flying vehicles and technologies..
In this program, students study subjects such as fluid dynamics, propulsion, flight mechanics, aerospace structures, avionics, space systems, and aerodynamics. The course also includes hands-on training, computer simulations, lab work, and sometimes internships in aerospace or defense companies. Students learn how to design and analyze aircraft and spacecraft components, understand the physics of flight, and use advanced software tools for modeling and simulation. Eligibility for a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering typically requires completion of 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, and admission may be based on entrance exams like JEE (in India) or SAT/ACT (in the U.S.), depending on the country. Graduates can pursue careers in aerospace and defense industries, space agencies (like ISRO, NASA), aviation companies, research organizations, or continue with higher studies like M.S. or Ph.D. in Aerospace or related fields. Roles include aerospace engineer, design engineer, flight analyst, propulsion specialist, and systems engineer.
