2022 Region II Student Conference

Registration is now closed.

Take part in AIAA’s Regional Student Conference by presenting your research in a formal technical meeting, exchange ideas, and discuss programs with students from other universities in your region.

You must be an AIAA Student Member and attending a college/university or high school in Region II to participate in the Region II Student Conference.

Region II includes North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Additionally, it includes students from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Cash prizes are awarded for first, second, and third place winners for each category. First-place regional winners are then invited to participate in the AIAA Foundation International Student Conference, held during the AIAA SciTech Forum each January.

2022 Regional Leadership Conference

11, 17 & 23 August 2022 | See below for specifc dates and times

his event, led by AIAA’s Regional Engagement Activities Division (READ), is an amazing opportunity to gain new tools and resources to help you succeed as an officer within AIAA’s regions, sections, and/or student branches. Additionally, you will be able to meet and connect with other officers from around the globe to share best practices and exchange ideas.

Please note we will be using the Zoom platform for these sessions and you must register separately for each day you are planning to attend.

Setting Your Section Up for Success
11 August, 1500–1630 hrs ET USA
RLC will kick off with an overview of section roles and responsibilities, guidance on activities in a post-COVID world, and how sections fit into the evolution of AIAA. Attendees will also have the opportunity to break out into rooms and network with other sections of similar sizes to gain new ideas and share best practices.

Women Driving Aviation: Innovations in Breaking the Sound Barrier

(Internal Note: this webinar didn’t happen)
In celebration of Women’s History Month, join AIAA in collaboration with NSBE Aerospace Special Interest Group and the Royal Aeronautical Society for this special webinar featuring Christine Darden. While Darden has many accomplishments, the majority of her 40-year NASA career focused on sonic boom minimization. Darden’s work laid the foundation for the Low Boom Flight Demonstrator Aircraft which NASA has contracted Lockheed Martin Skunk Works to design, build, and test. Listen as she discusses her life’s work and how she advocates for equity for women in engineering.

This webinar is a part of the annual Mary Jackson Lecture Series hosted by the Royal Aeronautical Society and the AIAA Diversity Working Group.

Northwest Florida Section Engineers Week Tech Talks

John ValasekMultiple-Time-Scale Nonlinear Output Feedback Control of Systems With Model Uncertainties by Dr. John Valasek

Abstract: The Geometric Singular Perturbation theory is a powerful control law development tool for multiple-timescale systems because it provides physical insight into the evolution of the states in more than one timescale. This presentation presents the theory for a nonlinear, multiple-time-scale, output feedback tracking controller for a class of nonlinear, nonstandard systems with slow and fast states, slow and fast actuators, and model uncertainties. The class of systems is motivated by aircraft with uncertain inertias, control derivatives, engine time-constant, and without direct measurement of angle-of-attack and sideslip angle.



Manoranjan MajjiInformation front-end of aerospace systems: recent advances and experiences by Dr. Manoranjan Majji

Abstract: Recent advances in information fusion and smart sensing technologies for relative navigation of aerospace vehicles are discussed. Sensor physics and information processing principles to integrate vision-based sensor data with inertial measurements are presented, along with discussions associated with signal processing of an ultra-precise optomechanical accelerometer being developed at Texas A&M. The talk also discusses aeromagnetic sensing and localization approaches as potential alternatives to the global positioning system based approaches for localization.
