Question
Sir,I am doing my b.tech(electical and electronics engineering)..I have heard that the electrical dept. subjects like machines and control systems are also found in aero courses...is that true?Can electrical &electronics background students,pursue their post graduation in aero department?

Answer
Yes, aero students study diverse subjects such as stress and strain of mechanical systems and control systems. But to do graduate work in aeronautics would probably require taking various undergraduate courses in fluid mechanics and other courses related to aeronautics.  Contact the graduate school admissions people for details.
