Help AIAA Support The Future of Aerospace and Innovation!
Description
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) at UCLA is the largest professional aerospace engineering society on campus. During the school year, we prepare our students technically and professionally for careers in the aerospace industry by hosting networking events, workshops, and industry speaker panels. Additionally, we host and partner with other engineering club across campus to create career fairs and info sessions. The backbone of AIAA at UCLA is our four student technical projects: Rocket Project, Design Build Fly, Uncrewed Aerial Systems, and Bruin Spacecraft Group. These four clubs tackle complicated engineering challenges that equip students with industry relevant skills.
Unmanned Aerial Systems at UCLA is an AIAA project striving to test the bounds of their aircraft design this year. UAS at UCLA is beginning the manufacturing process of their autonomous airframe structure. This will help them accomplish their project goals and achieve a remarkable feat in competing at the AUVSI SUAS competition.
This club is pushing the limits of aeronautics and astronautics while completing their academic journey here at UCLA, and they need help. That's where you come in. AIAA is asking you to partner with us as we support this group in their incredible goals for this academic year. Your partnership will not only impact UCLA students, but has the ability to empower students to use their skillset to solve the world's most daunting issues.
Thank you for your consideration, we hope that you choose to be a part of the future of aerospace with your generous donation! For more information on AIAA or the technical projects visit AIAA at UCLA's website: Welcome | AIAA at UCLA
