Acknowledgements NASSCOM would like to thank its member companies— QuEST Global—who have partnered with us in this initiative. We would also like to thank Infosys, HCL, Mahindra Satyam, and Engineering Proficiency Program (EPP) members, as mentioned in Annexure VI, for supporting this initiative, by structuring and fine-tuning the materials provided. NASSCOM is highly appreciative of its member companies for believing in this initiative under the IT-ITeS Sector Skill Council, which aims to increase the industry readiness of the available student pool. This is achieved by developing and facilitating the implementation of programs of educational relevance with an aim to bridge the perceived industry –academia skill gaps and specific industry related competencies w.r.t. Engineering Services Sector. The industry specific competencies (i.e. skills and knowledge) w.r.t Aerostructures aimed at empowering students with entry level Aerospace industry related skills. NASSCOM recognizes that this is an initiative of great importance for all the stakeholders concerned; the industry, academia, and students. The tremendous work and ceaseless support offered by members of the working group / partnering companies in strategizing and designing the training material for Aerostructures is commendable. NASSCOM would also like to thank the senior leadership of these partner companies for sharing their thoughts and invaluable inputs in the planning and execution of the Aerostructures program.
Introduction to the Program The Industry Specific Skills, Introduction to Aerostructures program will increase the industry readiness of students who want to start work at design or structural analysis companies from the aerospace sector. Developed by experts from QuEST Global, Infosys, HCL, and Mahindra Satyam, the program was created with a vision to develop the skills of students graduating from colleges to match the industry requirement. The Outcomes Based Format (OBF) used to develop this program helps one focus on the key skills required to perform a given job role. The program has two tracks—one that is concentrated on guiding the facilitator and the other for guiding the student.
Objective of the Program The Introduction to Aerostructures program has been developed to facilitate the acquisition of the industry specific skills required in the Aerospace design and structural analysis sector today. The program aims to improve the students’ understanding of the Aerospace industry, domain knowledge, standards & technologies. This program incorporates theoretical foundations as well as a judicious set of practical exercises to reinforce the key concepts. It focuses on the primary structural elements including struts, plates, sheets, ties and beams, the six key stresses - tension, compression, torsion, shear, bending, hoop, and the design aspects of the major structural components, such as fuselage, skin, empennage and wings.
About the Program To increase the funnel of available quality students at ‘entry’ level, NASSCOM suggests the specialization industry skills in Aerospace Structures as advanced course to be run as an add-on program in various education institutions. One of the purposes of this initiative is

that going forward; the universities/colleges will consider making these programs compulsory for students or integrate the development of these skills into the teaching-learning program by allocating credits to these programs. The development of this program in initial stages will involve participation from various industry practitioners who will progressively transition the course to the various trainers and faculty members who will then drive the course along with the associated practical exercises.
Eligibility This program is targeted towards students in the Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace field, specifically those who have completed introductory
courses in engineering mechanics and strength of materials. There are two eligibility criteria:
Students should have completed the Foundation Skills Program in Integrated Product Development (FSIPD).
Students to have completed their Sixth Semester courses Program Duration
Program Duration
The program is expected to be conducted less than 100 hours including a blend of guided or instructor-led learning, tutorials, and practical exercises.

Employment Assessment
NASSCOM Assessment of Competence-Tech (NAC-Tech)
About NAC-Tech NAC-Tech has been conceived as an industry standard assessment and certification program to ensure the transformation of a "trainable" workforce into an "employable" workforce, hence creating a robust and continuous pipeline of talent for the IT/engineering industry. It is targeted at final year and pre-final year students, who will be seeking employment opportunities in the IT/engineering sector. Conceptualization of NAC-Tech In-depth meetings with the large recruiters in the industry were conducted to understand their recruitment practices, cause of attrition desired skills in a candidate, etc. Based on this, a job-skill matrix was developed which formed the basis for the design of this assessment program. Core and working committees from the industry were formed and constant interactions were made to make sure that the program was in line with the industry requirements. An evaluation committee was set up to finalize the vendors and decide on the approach to the pilot. Multi-tier evaluation of the vendors happened after the initial interaction. The identified vendors provided the content and technology to run the test. The companies that have helped develop the assessment program are—TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Accenture, Cognizant and HCL. Key Features of NAC-Tech Eligibility for NAC-Tech - Any candidate appearing in “final year” of BE, B. Tech, MCA, M. Sc-IT is eligible to take the test - Preferred scores of candidates: 60% aggregate in graduation, 12th standard & 10th standard Advantages of NAC-Tech for various stakeholders a. For Colleges/Universities
Enable the college to generate a quantifiable picture of the knowledge and skill level of its students.
Approach industry aggressively and in a more organized way for placement opportunities. b. For Students
Detailed feedback on their knowledge and skills help them decide career opportunities in different areas of IT.
NAC-Tech score card enables them to leap-frog to the next level of selection to multiple companies endorsing the program. c. For the Industry
Industry gets a pool of pre-assessed candidates mapped against competencies required for entry level professionals.
It helps them reach out to a wider geography and access talent from level 2 and 3 cities and institutions.
