Guest Lecture on “Capability Enhancement Program on Competitive exams and Career counselling”

The Department of Aeronautical Engineering, MVJCE, organized a “Capability enhancement program on Competitive exams and career counselling” from 9.30 am to 12.30 pm, on 18^th December 2021 in Association with Aerospace Engineering.

Participants

200 participants from the Department of Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering, MVJCE, attended this Capability enhancement program, enthusiastically. Prof S.C. Gupta & Dr. L. John Baruch organized the event along with the faculty members of the department.

The Guest Speaker

Mr Hero Hemaraj, currently working as a data scientist at GE Aviation was the Guest speaker. He completed BE Aeronautical engineering from park college of engineering and wrote GATE and secured all India rank of 60 and joined IISc for Master of engineering under Aerospace department. His area of expertise is fluid mechanics and aerodynamics. He always had passion for teaching. He has been teaching Aerospace GATE Aspirants for more than last 10 years. Undergone “Green Belt” Training and developed comprehensive understanding of Lean Six Sigma principles. Won First Prize in the event of Glider Competition at FLIGEN 2009 (Technical Symposium of Anna University).

Evaluated performance and stability of aircraft by experimental flight performance data of Piper Saratoga in two sorties along with practical experience of aircraft instabilities (Dutch roll, phugoid) at IIT Kanpur in Flight Lab Training on January 2010. He has written a book for the Aerospace GATE preparation.

Lecture on Competitive exams and career counselling

Mr. Hero Hemaraj started by explaining about competitive exams available for choosing the right career in the aero industry. He pointed out that step by step procedure to plan for the preparation of any competitive exams.

He has explained as, With the development of technology, the demand for aeronautical engineers is increasing at a good pace. There is broad scope for these engineers in both government and private sectors. They can find jobs in fields like; aviation organisations, air turbine production plants, design, and development areas, aircraft ventures, management companies, aircraft industrialised divisions, and teaching/coaching institutes.

He was highlighted the following careers during the presentation:

Many companies are looking for innovative aeronautical engineers. Some of the famous companies that value these engineers are: -

• Hindustan Aeronautics Limited
• ISRO
• Helicopter Corporation of India
• Defence Research and Development Organisation
• Air India
• Civil Aviation Department
• Indian Coast Guard
• Defence Research and Development Laboratory
• Aeronautical Development Establishment
• National Aerospace Laboratories
• Private Air Lines
• Mahindra Defence Systems

More over he has given career guidance suggestions also. He has highlighted that in aeronautical engineering and aerospace engineering, students focus on the following areas of study:-

• Navigation
• Structural Analysis
• Space Mechanics
• Air Turbine Production
• Material Science
• Aerodynamics
• Fundamentals and advanced study of Propulsion theory
• Electronic theory
• Control theory
• Fluid dynamics
• Instrumentation and Communication
• Computer Programming

He has interacted with the students given some suggestions based on the student request during the presentation.
