Overview:

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.
