Dear New England Section members,
Our section member, Dr Masoud Rais-Rohani, is running to be the Director of the AIAA Aerospace Design and Structures Group. He is an endowed Professor and Chair of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Maine with prior experience as aerospace engineering faculty.
There are ten Technical Committees in this group:
- Adaptive Structures Technical Committee
- Design Engineering Technical Committee
- Materials Technical Committee
- Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Technical Committee
- Non-Deterministic Approaches Technical Committee
- Spacecraft Structures Technical Committee
- Structural Dynamics Technical Committee
- Structures Technical Committee
- Survivability Technical Committee
- Systems Engineering Technical Committee
During our last Council meeting, he emphasized that all members should consider the slate of candidates for this office on https://www.aiaa.org/vote and vote by February 19 at 3 pm Eastern.
Councilors discussed with him the idea that each TC could highlight their activities once a year in a Webinar with AIAA membership.
