*AIAA California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) Branch
The CSULB student branch creates networking events, invites guest speakers to their campus, promotes aerospace engineering to the younger generation, and has 3 exciting projects (Experimental Sounding Rocketry, Long Beach Aviation (Design, Build, Fly), and Cube-Sats) for their members to take part in.
*AIAA University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Branch
AIAA at UCLA is a professional organization that connects students, industry representatives, and academics dedicated to the advancement of aeronautics and astronautics. Throughout the school year, our chapter collaborates with various aerospace companies to provide events that facilitate networking and promote professional development skills for our members. In addition to these opportunities, the backbone of our organization are the four student projects: Design Build Fly (DBF), Rocket Project (URP), Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS), and Bruin Space Group (BSG). These projects expand the educational experience of AIAA members, allowing them to apply the concepts they learn in the classroom to real engineering missions and problems across the fields of aerospace.
*AIAA University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Branch
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) was created in 1963 by merging the American Rocket Society (est. 1930) and the Institute of Aerospace Sciences (est. 1933). AIAA is currently the leading Aerospace Publisher, Wellspring for Informational Exchange, and a strong advocate for a Diverse Community amongst engineers and other professionals. The AIAA Chapter at UNLV was established in 2005 as one of the first aerospace & aeronautics student organizations on campus. UNLV AIAA aims to drive the curiosity, passion, and love students have for airplanes, rockets, and space towards real-world engineering applications. Our organization specifically focuses on the following objectives at UNLV: 1) Raising awareness and fostering interest in the aerospace industry with student body 2) Promote local, regional, national, and international AIAA programs 3) Facilitate the implementation of aerospace related projects and research at UNLV.
*AIAA University of Southern California (USC) Branch
The Student Branch of AIAA at USC works to connect students interested in aerospace to with industry professionals and provide insight into what working in the aerospace industry is like. By hosting speakers, panels, and workshops, we hone the professional skills and broaden the perspectives of our members. The student branch shares opportunities for research on campus, in line with the extensive research support of the national AIAA organization, in which this branch encourages membership. This expands the Trojan network on- and off-campus in the aerospace industry.
