From now on, interested students will be able to learn aeronautical science from the Science Museum. For this purpose, a model of an ANTONOV AN 24 aircraft has been built and placed at the entrance of the Science Museum, making it suitable for hands-on learning. In the meantime, the museum has started to play the role of a primary laboratory.
As many as 60 students from the College of Aviation Technology and the United College of Aviation, Science and Management in the capital took the opportunity to learn about aircraft building, aircraft flight, aircraft landing and aircraft management practically on Wednesday. Tanzia Rashid, a consultant aeronautical engineer at the Museum of Science with a degree in Aeronautical Engineering from Malaysia, introduced them to the matters in a practical manner.
Director General of Science Museum Mohammad Munir Chowdhury and officials and employees of the museum were present on the occasion. During the training, the entire museum square was shaken by the sound of flying aircraft, creating an ambience of an airport.
Students who attended the event said it was a rare experience in their lives. They learned the subject in a very exciting environment.
In this regard, the Director General of the National Museum of Science and Technology Mohammad Munir Chowdhury said, In the future, science students will not only become doctors or engineers but also become pilots or aeronautical engineers so that they can meet the demand of the country and increase their reputation abroad. We have to hire pilots from abroad and send planes out of the country for repairs. To make up for this shortfall, the Science Museum has recently set up an aircraft gallery and laboratory with aircraft. Its scope and activities will be further expanded. We want to move forward with the goal of making this museum a center for learning science, from basic sciences to aviation and aeronautics.”
