Aeronautical - MAM School of Engineering

Department of Aeronautical and Engineering

The Department of Aeronautical Engineering at M.A.M. School of Engineering was started in the year 2010. The present faculty strength is Nine and is headed by Dr.M.Panneerselvam who has 21 years of experience in academic teaching which includes two years of post Doctoral research at NASA Ames research centre. The Department laboratories are furnished with highly relevant equipments.

Aerodynamics laboratory, Aircraft structures laboratory –I and II, Propulsion Laboratory, Aero Engine and Airframe Laboratory and Aircraft System Laboratory are well established.

The Aerodynamics laboratory consists of 300 x 300mm subsonic open circuit wind tunnel, water flow channel, Hele-shaw apparatus, blower with force balance and models of various kinds. The Aircraft structures laboratory consists of electrical strain gauge, strain indicator, hinged bar suspended by two wires, beam test setup, column test setup.

Also well equipped production technology laboratory, strength of materials laboratory, Fluid mechanics and machinery laboratory and Thermodynamics laboratories are available. Spacious and well furnished class rooms exist in sufficient numbers. A modern digital library with sufficient collection of books and journals caters to the students' needs. Guest Lectures have been arranged for all subjects periodically . The students association was started in August 2011 named as "FLYGARE". Association office bearers are selected from students to conduct and fulfill the needs of the students through this association. Industrial visit to reputed organizations was arranged for each and Every semester.
