"The nonprofit American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) is the principal society and voice serving the aerospace profession. Its primary purpose is to advance the arts, sciences, and technology of aeronautics and astronautics and to foster and promote the professionalism of those engaged in these pursuits. Although founded and based in the United States, AIAA is a global organization with nearly 30,000 individual professional members, over 50 corporate members, thousands of customers worldwide, and an active international outreach. AIAA is the U.S. representative on the International Astronautical Federation and the International Council on the Aeronautical Sciences."

AIAA (stated as A I double A) is a national, professional organization with numerous professional branches and student branches throughout the country with a student branch located at Cal Poly.  The goal for our student branch is to bring the students up to date with what's going on in industry.  We also hope to provide students a connection to the Aero Department and other Aero clubs.
