Dehradun, 14 Oct: A webinar was organised at Graphic Era Deemed University on ‘Aerospace Engineering’ in which the experts said that the field was full of opportunities.
Addressing the gathering on the topic, “Current and futuristic scenario of Aerospace Engineering in India”, former Director of Hindustan Aeronautical Engineering (HAL), Anantha Augastya, said that the main work of an aeronautical engineer is to design an aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, missiles, etc., and this field was full of possibilities.
