An Aeronautical lab under
the Department of Mechanical Engineering(DME), Central Campus, IOE came to life
on 16th of September, 2017. “This is first step to the long pathway
of developing academic infrastructure in the field of Aerospace and Aeronautics
Science and Engineering of the Nation” said Sudip Bhattrai, Senior Scientist
and Asst. Professor of Aerospace Science and Engineering of DME, Central
Campus. “The lab will be constantly updated along, will focus on demonstrations
and academic purposes in coming days. The students will be assembling parts,
get to know about the different aspects of aeronautics by interacting with them
practically” he added.

The lab was rather an
organization of acquired materials and equipments from Nepal Airlines
Corporation (NAC). A large quantity of aircraft Scrap components was provided
by the Technical department of NAC that are intended to serve laboratories
facilities for the current course of Avionics, Airframe, Gas-Turbines. This
facility will greatly enhance the academic reach of aerospace engineering in
the IOE.
Number of engineers, aero-stream
students were involved in the establishment event of lab. The aeronautics
discipline of Nepal is currently restricted to the Commercial and Govermental
sector only and this probably is the first to reach any academic field. For
land locked country like Nepal it is justifiable and recommendable to put
aeronautics agenda in the University level.
