About Us
Information
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics was founded in 1963, and has grown to become the largest aerospace professional network in the world. AIAA focuses on celebrating and encouraging interest and collaboration in the field of aerospace and to provide a link to help further develop those interests through opportunities and education.
The Colorado School of Mines chapter of AIAA serves to promote and uphold these ideals while providing a link between aerospace professionals and companies in the community and our members.
What We Do
AIAA at Mines hosts frequent events and meetings for all Mines students including industry tours, speaker presentations, information sessions, movie nights, and other activities. Our chapter members also volunteer in the Mines and Golden communities.
