MS in Aerospace Engineering
Introduction
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering currently offers MS programme in Aerospace Engineering, specializing in Solid Mechanics, and Fluid Mechanics. The MS programme allows a student sufficient time after the completion of his/her mandatory 24 credit hours course work to pursue a research area at an internationally acceptable level. An MS thesis is aimed at producing work which can meet the criteria for publishing in international journals / conference proceedings. The department is launching a Bachelors programme in Mechanical Engineering commencing Fall 2009 semester. Teaching in the Department is accomplished through lectures, problem-solving sessions, tutorials, laboratory work and simulations. The Department has eight permanent faculty members, seven of whom are Ph.D.s from foreign universities of repute. In addition to the resident faculty, an appropriate number of Ph.D. qualified engineers with rich practical experience in relevant fields, have been associates as adjunct faculty members. The department boasts well equipped laboratories for conducting necessary experimental work.

Aero-Space Engineering
Aerospace engineering is the branch of engineering behind the design, construction and science of aircraft and spacecraft. Aerospace engineering has broken into two major and overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. The former deals with craft that stay within Earth's atmosphere, and the latter deals with craft that operate outside of Earth's atmosphere. While "aeronautical" was the original term, the broader "aerospace" has superseded it in usage, as flight technology advanced to include craft operating in outer space. Aerospace engineering is often informally called rocket science.

Overview
Modern flight vehicles undergo severe conditions such as differences in atmospheric pressure and temperature, or heavy structural load applied upon vehicle components. Consequently, they are usually the products of various technologies including aerodynamics, avionics, materials science and propulsion. These technologies are collectively known as aerospace engineering. Because of the complexity of the field, aerospace engineering is conducted by a team of engineers, each specializing in their own branches of science.,The development and manufacturing of a flight vehicle demands careful balance and compromise between abilities, design, available technology and costs.
History
Alberto Santos-Dumont, a pioneer who built the first machines that were able to fly, played an important role in the development of aviation. Some of the first ideas for powered flight may have come from Leonardo da Vinci, who, although he did not build any successful models, did develop many sketches and ideas for "flying machines".
The origin of aerospace engineering can be traced back to the aviation pioneers around the late 19th century to early 20th centuries, although the work of Sir George Cayley has recently been dated as being from the last decade of the 18th century. Early knowledge of aeronautical engineering was largely empirical with some concepts and skills imported from other branches of engineering.
Scientists understood some key elements of aerospace engineering , like fluid dynamics, in the 18th century. Only a decade after the successful flights by the Wright brothers, the 1910s saw the development of aeronautical engineering through the design of World War I military aircraft.
The first definition of aerospace engineering appeared in February 1958.The definition considered the Earth's atmosphere and the outer space as a single realm, thereby encompassing both aircraft (aero) and spacecraft (space) under a newly coined word aerospace. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration was founded in 1958 as a response to the Cold War. United States aerospace engineers sent the American first satellite launched on January 31, 1958 in response the USSR launching Sputnik.
