An aerospace engineer builds light air vehicles. There is need no to feel that the task is beyond one's capabilities. More than special skills, what one needs is a fascination for aircrafts and their working. An engineering degree is a prerequisite for studying aerospace engineering.Marine Engineers are responsible for the safe running of ship engines, boilers, all the machineries of the ship, steam connections as well as maintenance, repair, upgradation and construction of all the relevant marine machinery. They are the overall incharge of the engine and its crew and ensure the safety and standards of the marine body. With modern development, the role of Marine Engineers has widened and smoothened, too, Electronis navigation has helped the Marine Engineering a lot.

Career prospects

Aerospace engineers can be employed with DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation), HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited) or NAL (National Aeronautical Laboratories). For brighter career prospects, a Ph.D. is a must. After completing a degree course in Mechanical Engineering from IIT, you can do the Masters' in Aerospace Engineering and Ph.D.abroad. There are greater job opportunities for aerospace engineers, with many private companies entering the field of aircrafts and defence vehicles manufacturing. The sky is the limit.
