The aerospace engineers are concerned with thedevise ways to make products from raw materials
design, analysis, construction, testing and operation ofand ways to convert one material into another useful

and spacecrafts. The course is based on thecost effective or more environmentally friendly or
fundamentals of fluid dynamics, materials science,more efficient. As you can see, a chemical engineer

With increase in growth and associated industrialyou think of as a machine - from supersonic fighter
potential, Indian agriculture has now been accordedjets to bicycles to toasters. And they influence the
the status of an industry. The course on Agriculturaldesign of other products as well - shoes, light bulbs
and Food Engineering aims at producing engineeringand even doors. Many mechanical engineers specialize
graduates to meet the requirement of technicalin areas such as manufacturing, robotics, automotive
manpower in development of farm machines, landtransportation and air conditioning. Others cross over
and water resources management, agriculturalinto other disciplines, working on everything from
production and manufacture of processed food. Inartificial organs to the expanding field of
