Welcome to the official 2009 AIAA Region VI Student Conference website at California State University Long Beach!
WHAT IS THE CONFERENCE ABOUT?
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Student Conference is a technical paper competition for AIAA student members at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Students from regional schools are invited to submit papers and give formal presentations that are judged for technical content and communication skills. Beyond the cash prize of USD$500, USD$300 and USD$250 awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in the undergraduate, graduate and team categories, first place winners in each category are also invited to attend the AIAA Foundation International Student Paper Conference held in conjunction with the AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting (ASM) in Orlando, Florida – January 2010.
In addition to the competition, the conference provides a venue for students, faculty and industry professionals to interact and discuss current Aerospace topics while participating in local networking activities.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
The conference is open to anyone interested in the aerospace field. You can choose to either present a paper and have a chance to win cash prizes, or simply be a spectator and participate in other 'non-presentation/non-competition' activities.
