Undergraduate Opportunities
NASA opportunities are so extensive that I have removed them from this page and given them their own page.
- American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) student groups:
- If you are an undergraduate considering aerospace as a career, you may want to see if there is a student branch of the AIAA at your school: http://www.aiaa.org/content.cfm?pageid=212
- AIAA has student conferences: http://www.aiaa.org/content.cfm?pageid=213
- AIAA offers a student journal: http://www.aiaa.org/content.cfm?pageid=497
- The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) undergraduate engineering design competitions, http://www.aiaa.org/content.cfm?pageid=210
- There are several different competitions.
- The American Helicopter Society sponsors an annual design competition for undergraduate and graduate students, http://www.vtol.org/awards/sdcomp.html
- Although the tasks may be easier for students who are already in engineering departments, students who have not decided their majors may be able to join a team. Judging takes participants' level of education into account.
- The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI)'s International Aerial Robotics Competition, http://iarc.angel-strike.com/index.php
- Participating teams are challenged to solve a problem for flying robots that current technology has not been able to solve. According to the official rules, "Teams may be comprised of a combination of students, faculty, industrial partners, or government partners." However, each team must have some full-time students, and the students must make significant contributions to the project. Only students can receive cash prizes.
- The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) Student Unmanned Air Systems (UAS) competition, http://65.210.16.57/studentcomp2010/default.html.
- This competition gives high school and undergraduate students an opportunity to create an unmanned aerial vehicle.
- Boeing's "Careers--Interns and Graduates" page, http://www.boeing.com/careers/collegecareers/.
- This page gives information about what a career at Boeing may be like, and provides links to Boeing's internship opportunities (http://www.boeing.com/careers/collegecareers/internships.html
- The International Air Transport Association (IATA) internships for undergraduate students, http://www.iata.org/hc/Pages/iip.aspx
- The IATA represents over 200 airlines worldwide before decision-makers. It also forms some industry standards and streamlines international air travel. Internships for undergraduate students are located all over the world.
