Field visit to Air India Mumbai for students of Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering.

JAIN University organised a field trip to Air India Mumbai for second year students of Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering. The motive of the visit was to give students the opportunity to gain first- hand knowledge about the aviation industry.The field trip allowed the students to gain insight into the functioning of one of India’s premier airlines.

The students took a tour of the Air India hangar where they got the chance to see an aircraft up close. The size of the aircraft took them by surprise and they were keen on learning about the engineering and construction of the aircraft. Students were enthralled to see the maintenance area where aircrafts are repaired and serviced in between flights.

The highlight of the field trip was a tour of the cockpit. Students were able to see the controls of the aircraft and learn about the various instruments and systems that pilots use to navigate. The tour guide took the time to explain to the students the importance of team work and communication between the pilot and co-pilot, as well as with the air traffic control tower.

The visit was a great learning experience for the students who learned about the aviation industry from a practical stand point. Students were able to understand the various aspects of the functioning of an aircraft which made it a memorable experience for them.

FET Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering Students Visit Goa Shipyard Limited Facility for Hands-On Learning Experience

On a recent excursion, students from the 2nd-year Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering program at FET had the opportunity to visit the Goa Shipyard Limited (GSL) facility. During their visit, students were given an exclusive look into the intricate processes and advanced technologies used in the design, fabrication, and assembly of ships of various types.

Throughout the visit, the students were led on a tour of the different departments involved in the shipbuilding process, including the design centre, fabrication shop, and assembly line. They were also able to witness completed ships being prepared for launch or delivery to clients. Furthermore, the visit provided the students with the opportunity to engage with the GSL team and learn from their experiences, challenges, and accomplishments. Students had the opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussions to gain deeper insights into the shipbuilding industry and the role of GSL in it.

Overall, the visit was an enriching experience for the students, as it gave them valuable exposure to the practical aspects of shipbuilding, as well as the opportunity to interact with industry experts. The students gained a deeper understanding of the shipbuilding industry, which will undoubtedly be useful in their future academic and professional pursuits.

Flight Laboratory course at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur

Recently, the 6th-semester students of both aerospace and aeronautical programmes from the Department of Aerospace Engineering at JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) had the opportunity to attend a Flight Laboratory course at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. The Flight Laboratory at IIT Kanpur is an exceptional national facility, which houses three single-engine aeroplanes - Piper's Super Cub, Cessna Skylane, and Piper Saratoga.

During the course, the students were provided with hands-on flying experience along with the opportunity to observe and learn the routines involved in various phases of flight, such as take-off, climbing, landing, turning, and more. The primary objective of this course was to enable students to collect, analyse, and evaluate the performance and handling qualities of aeroplanes.

Apart from the three single-engine aeroplanes, the Flight Laboratory at IIT Kanpur also has several gliders and an active gliding centre where anyone from the IIT community can become a member and aspire to reach the stage of getting a gliding license. With this opportunity, the students of JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) had an exceptional chance to experience flight testing with the state-of-the-art facilities and equipment at the IIT Kanpur Flight Laboratory.
