Building the Next Generation of Aerospace Engineers
23 August, 1700–1830 hrs ET USA
Student branch and section interaction is very important to helping foster future aerospace professionals. Join us in this session to speak with student branch leaders to understand students’ needs and supporting their journey as future leaders.

2020 Regional Leadership Conference

The Regional Leadership Conference (RLC) is a great opportunity for section officers, student branch chairs, and branch faculty advisors to come together to meet fellow officers, share experiences, and receive volunteer leadership training as a way to share best practices and continue hosting successful section and student branch activities.

The 2020 RLC is being hosted virtually using Zoom and with one session per week over a seven-week period. Session topics include online resources.

Section Officers looking for presentations and materials from past conferences will find them in the library of the Section Officers community on Engage.

Contact Lindsay Mitchell at [email protected] for more information or if you’re an officer interested in attending.

Once There was an Arrow — “Black Friday” of the Canadian Aviation Industry

Mark your calendar! Join the AIAA New England Section for the expert webinar by Colonel Walter Gordon – Chairman of the AIAA Niagara Frontier Section and deputy chair of the AIAA History Committee!

Avro Canada completed and flew five prototypes of the CF-105 Arrow supersonic interceptor before the program was terminated by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker on February 20, 1959. Known ever since as Black Friday, on that day over 14,000 employees lost their jobs and the Canadian aerospace industry changed forever, never again to produce a state-of-the-art military aircraft. One of the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world at the time, the Arrow was an almost inconceivable achievement by a company that only thirteen years earlier was manufacturing Lancaster bombers under license during World War II.

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.

Women in Aerospace: Nagin Cox, NASA Spacecraft Operations Engineer

The Portland State AIAA Student Branch is excited to host Nagin Cox virtually on February 25th! Nagin has been exploring since she decided as a teenager that she wanted to work at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. She was born in Bangalore, India, and grew up in Kansas City, Kansas, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Nagin has held leadership and system engineering positions on interplanetary robotic missions including the Galileo mission to Jupiter, the Mars Exploration Rovers, the Kepler exoplanet hunter, InSight, the Mars Curiosity Rover and now the 2020 Perseverance Rover. She was also involved in the MOXIE (Mars Oxygen ISRU Experiment) team which will prototype making oxygen on Mars from the Martian atmosphere. She is currently a Tactical Mission Lead on the Mars Curiosity Rover as well as the Mars2020 Perseverance Rover.

This event is in collaboration with WIS, SWE, VRS, SHPE, and MENASA Program Initiative and was funded with the help of AIAA.

Journey Through the Night Sky

Join the AIAA Greater Philadelphia Section in exploring your night sky as they show where you can find the nearest planets and constellations and learn how to spot them using only your eyes and sense of direction! To celebrate this year’s Engineering Week, AAIA GPS is hosting an exciting virtual event with the Discovery Center which offers plenty of engaging educational opportunities. The Discovery Center educational director McAuliffe-Shepard will talk about their location and lead a “walk through the night sky”, outlining the amazing things everyone can see by looking out on a clear night.
