The Indian Institute of Aeronautical Engineering and Information Technology, (IIAEIT) had recently sent one of its well-deserved faculty member and co-ordinator, Leena Bokil for a seven-day visit to the NASA for training in aeronautical engineering.

Leena Bokil proved her worth, while she was there and has now returned with a title of a brand ambassador of NASA. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration have given her an added knowledge and awareness in the field of space and aeronautics, which has eventually given her the ability to share the same with the students in this country.

Her visit to the NASA was because she participated in a Space camp for teachers at the NASA’s Marshall center. Due to her several years of teaching at the IIAEIT, she got this opportunity and says, “IIAEIT has acted as a catalyst to accomplish my ultimate goal”.

At NASA, Leena understood the advanced technologies that have been introduced in aeronautical engineering and other various aviation technologies. The understanding she absorbed there, she wishes to spread the same here in India.

Leena as a child has always been interested in all sort of flying machines, aircrafts, and rockets. She worked hard to make her passion her career. She is an electronic engineer by qualification and has been teaching aeronautical engineering at IIAEIT for several years. This in turn keeps her in touch with the advances taking place in aeronautics.

The elated Leena Bokil, Faculty member and co-ordinator IIAEIT said, “NASA’s Space Camp for Teachers has been a rich experience for me. It’s been IIAEIT’s mission to promote awareness in aeronautical engineering and educate the young generation. Our aim is to inspire, encourage, create and innovate teaching techniques and methodology in the various areas of aviation technology”.
