The objective of the Aeromodeling Club is to actively engage students in the design, construction, and operation of model aircraft while fostering innovation, technical expertise, and teamwork. The club aims to prepare student teams to participate effectively in design–build–fly competitions by providing hands-on experience and practical exposure. In addition, it conducts regular workshops and training sessions to enhance skills, encourage creativity, and promote a strong culture of engineering excellence among students.
