Mission The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) is the world's largest technical society dedicated to the aerospace profession and encompasses nearly 30,000 engineers/scientists and 95 corporate members. The Institute convenes yearly forums; publishes books, technical journals and Aerospace America; hosts a collection of 160,000 technical papers; develops and maintains standards; honors and celebrates achievement; and advocates on policy issues. AIAA serves aerospace professionals around the world by providing the tools, insights, and collaborative exchanges to advance the state of the art in engineering and science for aviation, space, and defense.In addition to the professional membership, AIAA currently has over 200 active student branches, including 38 foreign student branches, with a total active membership of over 7,000 students worldwide. The Embry-Riddle Daytona Beach student branch is your base of operations in AIAA during your college years, and it's an open door to professional activities, recognition, and contacts that would otherwise be unavailable to students!
Membership BenefitsStudents on campus are involved in two large scale aerospace projects, which include Design Build Fly and an astronautics project.Design Build Fly is a international, AIAA competition in which teams fabricate and fly RC aircraft. Each year, a new set of rules outlining a design challenge is announced. DBF is a fantastic opportunity to get-hands on experience with aircraft design, fabrication, and testing. Meetings will be in LB133, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 5:30-7:30 pm.In addition, our chapter's Astronautics Design Project changes annually. In previous years, projects included rockets and lunar landers. Currently, we are beginning design work for a rocket with an experimental propulsion system, affectionately known as Project VIPER, Vortex Integrated Propulsion Experimental Rocket. These projects are a great way to gain engineering and technical experience in the astronautics field. Meetings are in COA 260 Monday and Friday from 6:00-8:00 pm. Some other membership benefits include:- Meetings with keynote speakers from the industry or academia- Trips to large technical conferences such as SciTech- Networking opportunities- Scholarships- Social eventsCome out, get involved, and have fun doing it!
