25. Interactions of CASDE CASDE has setup a network of faculty within IIT with whom regular interactions take place. CASDE is in constant touch with scientists working in all major aerospace organizations. CASDE has also involved faculty/students from other engineering colleges e.g. MIT Chennai, Parks College Coimbatore, CUSAT Cochin, in various activities.

26. Current Status Phase-I Objectives have been met. –SE Specialization Introduced –Aerospace SE Information Lab. Created –Modelling & Simulation Lab. set up –System Level Studies Carried Out –Awareness of MDO Created Our view is that, Phase-I of CASDE can be considered to be technically complete.
