Things to Do When You’re a Teleworking Aerospace Engineer or Aerospace Engineering Student
Many aerospace organizations are having their employees work from home to keep communities, especially the most vulnerable members, safe and healthy. AIAA applauds and supports this decision.
We encourage everyone to follow safety guidelines as set out by the WHO and CDC.
We understand you still have work to do and may be looking for new ways to connect while you telecommute. We can help.
If you’re a teleworking aerospace professional and have children at home, AIAA has some suggestions to keep your budding aerospace engineer busy.
Have time to update your research knowledge? Aerospace Research Central has more than 50 years’ worth of research papers.

Current Issue
The November issue of Aerospace America is live. Don't miss this month's featured story: "The West’s Boogeyman,” by Mike Gruss. Hypersonic glide vehicles and air-breathing versions of these weapons have prompted two U.S. administrations to pump billions of dollars into better radars and space instruments for tracking them so they can be targeted effectively. Gruss sorts the myth from the reality of the threat. Full Story
In November's Editor's Notebook, “Seeing Our Principles at Work,” Aerospace America Editor-in-Chief Ben Iannotta writes, “Here at the magazine, we strive to give you the truths that will equip you to shape the future of aerospace and live as well-informed members of the aerospace community and society. We do that by thinking independently, by listening and by recognizing that you are busy. Most of you have time for only the most important and fascinating developments. We have to tell you about those in a clear and compelling manner devoid of marketing speak.” Full Story
Webinars
On Demand Recording Available
This webinar is hosted by AIAA, is presented by Lumafield, and is open to the public.
Industrial computed tomography (CT) scanning offers a non-destructive and highly detailed method of inspecting aerospace, defense, and avionics. It utilizes x-rays and advanced reconstruction techniques to provide intricate 3D visualizations of internal structures. By using CT scanning, manufacturers can meticulously examine composite materials, wiring, seals, connectors, and valves to pinpoint the causes of failures—whether it’s material defects, inconsistencies in manufacturing, or wear-induced damage. Armed with this knowledge, aerospace manufactures can take proactive steps to resolve these issues, ensuring product reliability, patient safety, and preventing expensive recalls.
During this webinar, representatives from Lumafield will discuss the application of CT scanning for inspecting aerospace, defense, and avionics at all stages of the development process, from initial R&D through high-volume production with automated end-to-end workflows.
What We’ll Discuss:
- How industrial CT scanners work.
- How to quickly spot issues that can cause catastrophic failures.
- How to measure minute features without cutting your parts open.
- How to incorporate high-volume industrial CT scanning in a manufacturing line.
- How to use AI software tools to make rapid go/no-go decisions in real time, without human labor.
- How companies can inexpensively adopt industrial CT scanning in both product development and manufacturing workflows.
