ARC is the premier research branch of AIAA, where members engage in year-long projects covering a wide range of aeronautical and astronautical topics. Each project team, composed of 4-5 students from various engineering majors, is overseen by a project lead and benefits from the guidance of university faculty advisors. ARC prioritizes helping underclassmen develop technical skills beyond the classroom, providing them with early hands-on research experience.
