Professional Societies
Professional societies offer the opportunity
to meet and network with industry professionals. ASME
has an Aerospace Technical Division with more than 6000
primary members. The Aerospace Division’s objective
is to promote the development and dissemination of the
mechanical, materials and systems engineering aspects
of aircraft, spacecraft and missile design and operation.
This encompasses primary and secondary subsystems and
components as well as the vehicles themselves and necessary
life support equipment.
As a member of ASME, you can join the technical division
and participate in activities such as technical conferences
that can aid in your professional development. Staying
involved in a professional society when you start working
is also critical in keeping up-to-date with rapidly
advancing technology. For more information, check out
the ASME’s Aerospace Division.
In addition, the American
Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA)
is devoted to the progress of engineering and science
in aviation, space and defense. AIAA offers career resources
and planning services for its members. More information
can be found at their website .
