AS3611 - Space Launch Vehicle Design Project Syllabus Regulation 2021 Anna University

In this article, we are glad to provide the syllabus of the code AS3611 of Anna University awarding the B.E Aerospace Engineering Syllabus based on regulation 2021. Let’s what we have here.

We tried our best to provide the detailed syllabus unit-wise for the subject code AS3611 – Space Launch Vehicle Design Project Semester VI. We also include the required textbooks and references from the expert faculty regarding the syllabus. Along with it assists the students to become more aware of the topics. And can easily make preparation strategies as per the syllabus to make your move for examinations. Hope this information is useful. Comment below if you need anything relevant to the syllabus. We’ll try to answer your questions. Don’t forget to share with your classmates.

If you want to know more about the B.E Aerospace Engineering Syllabus connected to an affiliated institution’s four-year undergraduate degree program. We provide you with a detailed Year-wise, semester-wise, and Subject-wise syllabus in the following link B.E Aerospace Engineering Syllabus Regulation 2021 Anna University.

Aim Of Concept:

  • To make the student work in groups and effectively improve their team work.
  • To understand the concepts involved in designing the space launch vehicle.
  • To learn the conceptual stage of a spacecraft design in respect of its stability.
  • To Understand the necessary phases in the design process and produce the required outcomes of each phase.
