Aeronautical engineering prospects

Here are some excerpts from the interactive session held at Tirupati:

What are the prospects for aeronautical engineering?

Though it has a bright future, the chances may narrow down as it is a specialised area. Mechanical engineering students too fit into this slot. While a very few number of colleges offer the course at the B.Tech level, diplomas are offered by many private colleges.

What are the skill sets required for a student of an ordinary engineering college to compete with IIT and AIEEE products in the global arena?

Prepare for GRE when you are half way through, take advanced GRE test and highlight your other accomplishments at the college level.

Contact the professor concerned at the institution abroad with your specific requirements.

Please throw some light on the subjects like mechatronics and electronic instrumentation.

These are hybrid courses. Mechatronics is a combination of mechanical and electronic engineering, while the latter is an amalgam of electronic engineering and instrumentation. Taking regular courses first and then going for specialisation at a higher level is advisable.

I am interested in Cryogenics. What do you suggest?

Cryogenics too has a great potential. After completing B.Tech (Mechanical), go for M.Tech (Cryogenics) at IIT Kharagpur or Roorkee.

Which is better, less-preferred specialisation in a reputed college or the first choice in a moderately-rated college?

High academic standards and exorbitant fees are, in most cases, inseparable. If finance is not a constraint, go for the best college, as there is nothing called less preferred course.
