The Department of Aeronautical Engineering at Excel Engineering College, Komarapalayam is established in the academic year of 2007-08 with a yearly intake of 60.The intake of the department has been increased to 120 per year from the year 2013 onwards. Also PG Course M.E Aeronautical Engineering is introduced in the academic year of 2012-13 with yearly intake of 18.

The department is designed to be relevant to the industry and the needs of today’s engineers. Teaching is underpinned by up-to-date laboratory and computing facilities. We have facilities for conducting experiments to compliment the theory taught in lectures. The laboratories are equipped with modern equipment under the supervision of qualified technical support staff. Equipments in the various laboratories train the students to expose practical knowledge and illustrate the most important concepts in Aerodynamics, Propulsion and Structures

Dr.K.Rajkumar

Professor & Head

Educational Qualification : B.E., M.E., PhD.
Total Year of Experience         : 24 Years

The history of aeronautical engineering began at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1896 when Albert J. Wells, class of 1896 (mechanical engineering), designed and built a small wind tunnel as part of his thesis. To achieve the mission of lifting and maintaining flight, aeronautics includes several disciplines on which it relies. Examples of these disciplines are aerodynamics, aircraft design, Navigation of planes, rocketry, and meteorology, among others.

Aeronautics is the discipline dedicated to the study, design, and manufacturing of mechanical devices that can be lifted in flight, as well as the set of techniques that allow aircraft control. Examples of these devices are airplanes, jet fighters, helicopters, drones, and spaceships, among others

The Department of Aeronautical Engineering in our Institution is equipped with the best of resources to enrich the heritage of the department ensuring high quality education to the students.  Our dedicated staff work and learn together in collegiate teams to maximize student’s potential by implementing highly effective teaching strategies and student support systems.

As a Head of the Department my role is to implement Outcome-based education (OBE) which shifts the focus from teaching to learning, by making explicit the knowledge, skills and attitudes that students are expected to learn and be able to demonstrate upon completing a programme or course. This concept will resolve the gap between industry requirements and curriculum gave rise to unemployable students.

Vision & Mission

Our Vision

To empower the students with subject knowledge of Aeronautical Engineering for serving the society in a challenging global environment.

Our Mission

• To provide quality technical education in tune with the challenges.
• To offer latest technological developments in the fields of Aeronautical Engineering.
• To integrate the intellectual, spiritual, ethical and social development of the students for becoming dynamic Aeronautical Engineers.
• To initiate desires for undertaking entrepreneurship and lifelong learning.

Programs Outcomes & Objective

Program Outcome describe the knowledge, skills and attitudes the students should have at the end of a four year engineering program.

Engineering Graduates will be able to:

  1. Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
  2. Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
  3. Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
  4. Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
  5. Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
  6. The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
  7. Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
  8. Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.
  9. Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
  10. Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
  11. Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
  12. Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.

Program Specific Outcomes are statements that describe what the graduates of a specific engineering program should be able to do.

  1. Core skills:Identify, Formulate and Analyze Complex Engineering problems in aerodynamics, Propulsion, Aircraft Structures, aircraft Manufacturing and Maintenance domains.
  2. Interdisciplinary skills: Able to design and develop interdisciplinary and innovative systems.
  3. Personality Development:Able to inculcate effective communication skills, team work, ethics, leadership in preparation for a successful career in industry and R&D organizations.
