1)What is Thermal & Aerospace
Engineering ?
2)What is so special about this program?
3)Details of the Curriculum.
4)What will you be when you graduate
from this program.
Thermal & Aerospace Engineering is :-
a field of study that is a combination of two very
similar fields of mechanical engineering namely,
thermal and aerospace engineering
a branch of engineering that applies scientific
knowledge to the design, analysis and modeling of
thermal and aerospace equipments and systems
The fundamental principles of thermal and
aerospace engineering apply to all equipments and
systems that involve, heat generation, heat transfer,
cooling, heating, and fluid flow; and to all bodies and
vehicles whose applied loads are influenced by
aerodynamic forces.
