AIAA club members recruit at College of Engineering clubs showcase
University of Arizona members of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics display their rocket ‘Fire Hazard’ at the 2024 Spaceport America Cup.
The annual College of Engineering clubs showcase gives students a chance to connect with peers who share interests, but not necessarily majors. At the Sept. 10, 2024 event, leaders from each club gathered in the University of Arizona Bear Down Gym with similar goals: primarily, increase community work and interdisciplinary membership.
Student members of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics — a professional club that focuses on rocket building — opened their doors for new recruits at the club showcase.
"This club is amazing for building your technical experience, and it’s an amazing way to get your foot in the door with companies,” said AIAA Secretary Aidan Fritzler.
Along with six other cub members, Fritzler and Noah Clark, both AME sophomores, traveled to Las Cruces, New Mexico, to compete in the summer 2024 Spaceport America Cup – the world’s largest intercollegiate rocket competition.
