About the Aero Department
In the recent Shanghai Ranking [now called the Academic Ranking of World Universities], the department was ranked 32nd in the Subject Ranking for Aerospace engineering.[9] It is the only department at IISc to be ranked in the top 50. IISc is at 8th postion in the Times World's Best Small Universities[10], and was previously listed in top 100 in the Times World Reputation Rankings.
The Department of Aerospace Engineering holds a prime position as the largest academic department in terms of number of students and faculty as well as laboratory space. The faculty and staff have completed advanced degrees or training in the best universities around the world. The department is popular being the foundation grounds of India's Space research and later for its cutting edge research in all aspects of aerospace technology. Apart from being a defense-oriented scholarly effort, the recent thrust areas of the department is development of novel drone technologies for various critical applications such as precision agriculture, disaster management and other high impact civilian applications. Green aviation (cleaner technologies) is a proposed thrust area keeping in mind the carbon/emission footprint.
It encompasses three distinct-centers, the Joint Advanced Technology Program (JATP) funded by DRDO, the Space Technology Cell (STC) funded by the Department of Space, and the Center for Excellence in Hypersonics with BrahMos Aerospace to work on scramjet combustion. Very soon, there is going to be another one in the defence sector with Bharat Dynamics Ltd.
