2022 Dryden Lecture in Research

Lecture title: “Digital Tools for Designing Composite Aerostructures of the Future”

The Dryden Lecture in Research was named in honor of Dr. Hugh L. Dryden in 1967, succeeding the Research Award established in 1960. The lecture emphasizes the great importance of basic and applied research to the advancement in aeronautics and astronautics and is a salute to research scientists and engineers. It is open to attendees and the public.

Rising Leaders in Aerospace Lunch Panel: I Got My Dream Job, Now What?

College has quick timelines, short turnarounds, and new subjects each semester. Many college students have long term goals of working in a certain discipline. After graduation, many achieve these goals and get a job where they want, working on what they want. But the real world moves much slower than university – future steps, promotions, or leadership can be 10-20 year goals. Even a dream job may become tedious. This panel includes aerospace leaders to help the young professional answer the question – where do I go from here?

Student Programs Roundup

Learn about all the ways you can get engaged and connected as an AIAA student member to our amazing offering of programs just for students.

Aerospace Cybersecurity Online Capture the Flag Launch

Interested in a game of virtual capture-the-flag? Aerospace Cybersecurity Online Capture-the-Flag, organized by Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University, a competitive hacking or cybersecurity skills competition, will launch in conjunction with AIAA SciTech Forum. In the simulation, a tier-1 airport will be under attack and participants will navigate the hackers’ trail through the airport. Help restore compromised systems, regain control of the aircraft, and bring normalcy to airport operations.

Organized by:

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
