About Us
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Student Chapter at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is the premier student organization on campus geared towards exploring Aerospace Engineering and its related fields. We shape the future of aerospace through technical projects, social events, and professional development. These pillars provide hands-on experience, foster community, and enhance career growth. Together, we equip members to make meaningful contributions to the aerospace industry.
Professional Development
Corporate mixers, industry presentations, and more! Expand your professional network through exclusive events with leading companies and industry experts. AIAA also conducts outreach to top aerospace firms like Collins Aerospace and Woodward, providing valuable connections and career opportunities.
Technical Projects
Get involved in student led tech projects! AIAA’s technical projects give you hands-on experience in designing, building, and testing using information you learn in the classroom. Working in teams helps you sharpen your technical skills and problem-solving abilities. It’s a great way to prepare for a future in the aerospace industry.
Educational Outreach
We engage in educational outreach to inspire the next generation of innovators and make STEM more accessible. By sharing our knowledge and experiences, we help spark curiosity and encourage students to explore engineering and science.
Social Events
Regularly scheduled events to have fun and meet peers! Compete with fellow members in various sports and games, come by a happy hour to talk About Us things other than engineering, or get revenge on some professors at the Student-Faculty Softball Game.
