American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics

AIAA is the world’s largest technical society dedicated to the global aerospace profession. Created in 1963 by the merger of the two great aerospace societies of the day, the American Rocket Society (founded in 1930 as the American Interplanetary Society), and the Institute of the Aerospace Sciences (established in 1933 as the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences), AIAA carries forth a proud tradition of more than 75 years of aerospace leadership. AIAA’s mission is to address the professional needs and interests of the past, current, and future aerospace workforce and to advance the state of aerospace science, engineering, technology, operations, and policy to benefit our global society. The AIAA at UCLA is the student branch of the international AIAA. It provides students of all engineering disciplines who are interested in aerospace careers opportunities to engage in real world engineering and to network with peers and professionals through events. The AIAA at UCLA is home to three unique engineering student projects: Design Build Fly, Unmanned Aerial Systems, and Rocket Project.
