GATE questions, answered.

Uniqueness in their study material: Study material provided by the coaching institutes is of little assistance if they are compact copy-paste or rewrite of materials taken from other books. If the reading of such material doesn’t increase interest and enjoyment then they are not worth it. There are plenty of standard books on each subject by good authors, which can make your study enjoyable during preparation.

GATE exam consists of a single paper of 3 hours duration and carries a maximum of 150 marks. The question paper of GATE 2009 will be fully objective type.

An Aerospace Engineer is a person who is involved in all phases of research and development in Aeronautics and Astronautics.

An Aeronautical Engineer works with flight within the atmosphere.

Ask yourself any of the following questions: Do you find aircraft and aviation interesting; Do you want to study engineering with a broad base; Do you want to study for a degree that will permit you to find employment in a global industry; Do you want to continue studying in a maths and physics based discipline and develop widely applicable numerical and analytical skills; Do you want to gain a wide appreciation of a leading edge technology; Do you want to study engineering but wish to work in finance, business or management after graduation? The above are typical questions you should ask yourself. If you are good at maths and physics and can answer yes to any of the above then an aerospace related degree is ideal for you.

According to AIAA, an Aerospace Engineer is a person who is involved in all phases of research and development in Aeronautics and Astronautics.

An Aeronautical Engineer works with flight within the atmosphere.

An Aeronautical Engineer works with flight outside the atmosphere.

A complete Aerospace Team involves the Astronautical Engineer, the Scientist and the Technician. While the Aerospace Engineer applies fact and knowledge to solving a problem, the Scientist constructs the rules and knowledge, with which the Engineer uses to solve the problem. The Technician is the person who supports the Scientist and Engineer, and are good at working with hardware.

There are Many fields in Aerospace they are : Analytical: Analytical engineers use mathematics and physics to analyze data collected from an experiment, such as analyzing the stresses on an object. Computational Fluid Dynamics: C.F.D engineers use fast computers to analyze nonlinear fluid motion, such as the movement of air over a lifting surface. Cost Analysis: Cost analysis engineers provide analysis of cost and resources to offer bids on contracts or in determining the best applicant to fill a contract. Design: Design engineers use creative new ideas to determine the arrangement or function of a component, or create a design to meet the criteria established for the problem. An example is the designing of an airplane. Field Service: This section of aerospace involves the relaying of maintenance and service information to the customer to ensure that the product is used properly. The representatives work with the Design engineers to build improved designs. Flight Test: Fligh test engineers plan and collect data from test flights to analyze the successfulness of accomplishing the design criteria. An example is the analysis of the data from the flight test of the F-22 to establish the faults that need to be corrected. -Illities: The -illities are taken into consideration in all steps of the production of the product. The -illities are reliability, maintainability, vulnerability, survivability, and overall supportability of the final product. Management: Management positions are usually for experienced personal with good leadership qualities. Like any other manager, a manager in the field of aerospace must be able to deal with human problems, business decisions, and technical activities. Manufacturing: Manufacturing engineers work closely with Design engineers to create economically produced components. In addition the manufacturing engineer plan the producing of the product according to the specifications. An example is the producing of a wing for a jet liner. Marketing: Sales engineers attempt to sell the product to the customers, acting as a liaison to the customer and the corporation, and making sure the customer receives quality goods. The sales engineer also predicts which products will be needed in the future. Materials and Processes: Material engineers test materials to evaluate the qualities of that material. An example is the testing of a composite alloy for its tensile strength. Systems Software: Systems engineers design the software to run on a system. An example is in the designing of an electronic flight control system.

The amount of stress experienced working as an aerospace engineer is the same at any other job. Most of the work is done in offices and/or in laboratories.

To enter into the field of Aerospace Engineering, it is advised that you should take as many courses as possible in science and mathematics, along with courses in English and Communications. An Engineer needs to be able to use physics and mathematics to solve problems, and needs to be able to communicate complex ideas or plans clearly and accurately.

To become an Aerospace Engineering, you need at least a BA./BS. A MS. or PH. D. is recommended to give you more of an advantage when looking for a job. Engineers also need continued education throughout their careers to keep up-to-date on current techniques, new materials, new processes, etc. In addition, many states require Aerospace Engineers to have a state license, which may include a written test.

The job outlook for Aerospace Engineers at the moment, does not look good. Many aerospace companies have been experiencing high profits, in part by laying off engineers and other workers. The proposed decreasing of the defense budget could cause even more layoffs. Out of an estimated 54,000 aerospace engineers, currently NASA and the Department of Defense employ 1 out of 7 Aerospace Engineers. With the proposed cutbacks, many of these workers may be layed off. About 70% of the jobs are created by retiring personnel, or personnel who have transferred to other occupations. This is where the majority of new aerospace jobs will come from. Job growth in this field is also limited by the increasing number of aerospace manufacturing jobs being filled by mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineers. The silver lining is that the civilian aircraft manufacturing is rising. While domestic commercial jets will face increasing competition from Airbus, this part of the aerospace industry is expected to increase. The job growth projection until the year 2005 is expected to be below industry average.

The average starting salary for an engineer with a bachelor's degree for the following fields are... Aerospace :$30,860 Chemical :39,204 Civil : 29,809 Electrical : 34,840 Industrial :33,267 Mechanical :35,051 Metallurgical :33,429 Mining :32,638 Nuclear :33,603 Petroleum :38,286

Geomagnetic Propulsion is a technology based on the magnetic forces between an electromagnet and the Earth's magnetic field. Now as any good physics student knows, a magnet suspended by a string will rotate until it is in alignment with the Earth's magnetic field. No matter how strong the magnet is, the best it can do is behave like a compass. But if we were able to convert the torque on the magnet into a linear force, we would have a useful propulsion system! Recent progress in this area has been very encouraging. Once we have the ability to generate a net force, the next hurdle will be to find a way to vector that force in any direction. The result will be a true field-effect propulsion system capable of generating lift without wings and attitude control without rudders and ailerons. Since a geomagnetic craft won't have an engine, flight noise will be minimum. Furthermore, since rockets are limited in speed by the velocity of their exhaust, and a geomagnetic craft doesn't expel anything, it's speed will be limited solely by wind resistance.
