The syllabus of the Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering covers both core engineering subjects and specialized topics in aeronautics. In the initial years, students study fundamental subjects like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering Mechanics, which form the foundation for advanced learning. As the course progresses, more specialized subjects are introduced, such as Aerodynamics, where students learn about the behavior of air over aircraft surfaces, and Flight Mechanics, focusing on the principles of flight and aircraft control.
In addition, students learn Aircraft Materials and Structures, which include composite, metal, and alloy materials used in aircraft construction. Propulsion Systems includes the design and operation of engines, including jet and turbine engines. Other topics include Aircraft Systems and Avionics, which focus on electrical systems, navigation, and communication systems used in aviation, and Aircraft Maintenance to ensure proper functioning of aircraft components.
The course has a component of practical training, lab work, and industry internship that gives hands-on experience within the aerospace industry while reinforcing their theoretical knowledge.
