AIAA UT: The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Student Chapter at the University of Texas at Austin
About AIAA

The UT Austin chapter of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics is a student organization for people with an interest in aviation and space. The AIAA itself is a worldwide organization of over 31,000 members, and is the largest professional organization devoted to the progress of aviation and space science technology. Here are just a few of the myriad reasons to join:

  • Gives you another reason to go to WRW; keep up to date on what's going on in the department.
  • Meet professors and other students.
  • See presentations by aerospace engineers, astronauts, distinguished professors, and industry professionals.
  • Go on the field trips (a.k.a. plant tours) - As a member, most trips are paid for.
  • The occasional broomball game against ASME (just to put those cocky MEs in their place!)
  • Pizza at every meeting
  • Looks good on a resume
  1. Financial - The financial committee is responsible for keeping track of AIAA funds and organizing fundraisers. When you see donuts, samosas, and bagels for sale, it's all thanks to the financial committee! Join the committee if you enjoy crunching numbers, or if you like making a difference for the organization in a tangible way (more money in the bank means cheaper field trips!). Contact Emilio Hernandez.

  2. Social - As you might expect, the social committee is responsible for organizing social events for the semester. Traditionally, we have hosted broomball and dodgeball but are always looking for new ideas big or small. If you find yourself wondering "Why don't they have Super Smash Bros. tournaments?" or "Can't we tailgate?" then this committee is for you. Contact Bryce Ewalt or Krishna Vernkataraman.
