WHAT IS THE CONFERENCE ABOUT?

The AIAA Student Conference is a technical paper competition for AIAA student members at both the undergaduate and graduate levels. Students from regional schools are invited to submit papers and give formal presentations that are judged for technical content and communication skills. Beyond the cash prize awarded to the winners of each category, presenters are also invited to attend the National AIAA Foundation conference.

In addition to the competition, the conference provides a venue for students and faculty to interact and discuss current Aerospace topics while participating in local social activities.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

The conference is open to anyone interested in the Aerospace field. Students are encouraged to attend even if they don't plan on submitting a paper for judging. The conference provides an excellent opportunity to network with other Aerospace students as well as with industry professionals and teachers.
