Introduction

Aeronautical Engineering is one of the fascinating areas in Engineering across the globe. The Aerospace & Defense technology enhances the nation’s technology target and achieves global recognition. The department of Aeronautical Engineering was established in 2011, affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University. The department has grown rapidly ever since its establishment. The goal of the department is to mentor the students into top-class aeronautical engineers, suitable for employment in the National and International scenarios and almost catering successful engineers into various aerospace organizations continuously.
In 2019 the Aeronautical department received NBA accreditation based on its outstanding academic achievement and quality of course delivery, further renewed up to 2025.

The Department offers a vibrant academic atmosphere that enables independent research and the free exchange of ideas among students and faculties. The department has continuous interaction with Aerospace and Defense organizations of international reputation like Dassault Systems, SIEMENS, Bosch Rexroth, and National Aerospace Laboratories, to help students build the required skill set. In 2020, the Aeronautical Dept. received a grants of Rs.15 Lakh from AICTE under Modernization and Removal of Obsolescence (MODROBS) for setting up of advanced Vibration analyzer setup at Aircraft Structures Lab to enhance research interest among UG & PG students and research scholars. In recognition of the work at “AIREINO”, a student club of Aeronautical department, AICTE has released a grant of Rs.1 Lakh under Scheme for Promoting Interests, Creativity, and Ethics among Students (SPICES) in 2020.

It gives the instructor a better opportunity to deal with mixed levels of students. It allows addressing the student difficulties. The students are given a task to summarize and understand a topic by watching video lectures at home and present it in the classroom.

          Brainstorming
          It provides the students to perform group discussion and produce ideas or solve problems. Students are asked to discuss about the topic and present their views. The faculties will summarize it. It helps to improve the presentation skill of the students.

          Online classes in YouTube
          The classes are recorded and uploaded to YouTube. Students can watch the video and understand the subject.

          Industrial Visit
          Students are taken to the industry for getting an idea of working environment in Industry. It also provides practical knowledge.

          Technical talks
          Technical talks are conducted by inviting eminent speakers in the respective domains. This will help to learn topics beyond the syllabus.

          Workshops
          Workshops are conducted to provide hands on experience.

          Innovations by the Faculty in Teaching and Learning

          The teaching and learning process in the department integrates both traditional methods and innovative, student-centric techniques. While the traditional ‘chalk and talk’ approach remains foundational, its limited scope in engaging students practically has led to the adoption of more interactive and modern pedagogical strategies.
