The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) is a national professional organization built to help aerospace professionals and their organizations succeed. With this, we took this mission to heart and established the UC Merced's AIAA Student Branch in 2013. 

Since then, our members have grown exponentially fueled by innovative ideas, ambitious energy, and a humble heart. We work on critical projects aimed at providing a well-rounded experience that challenges our members who come from all backgrounds and education. At UC Merced, it is our mission to prepare our members to reach their fullest potential and help launch their next journey into an amazing life.
