The nonprofit
American
Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) is
the principal society and voice serving the aerospace
profession. Its primary purpose is to advance the arts,
sciences, and technology of aeronautics and astronautics
and to foster and promote the professionalism of those
engaged in these pursuits.
Sigma Gamma Tau is the honor society for Aerospace Engineering.
It seeks to identify and recognize achievement and excellence
in the Aerospace field. The objectives of Sigma Gamma Tau
as stated in the preamble of the Society's national constitution,

The University of Cincinnati
Sounding
Rocket Project began four years ago. Under the NASA
Student Launch Project, NASA gives unversities the opportunity
to apply for use of launch facilities, surplus rocket
motors, and a small grant to design and manufacture the
payload section of the rockets. Universities are selected
for this program based on a competitive bid process. The
flight experiments are judged for originality, implications
for science, and educational value. The University of
Cincinnati and the University of Colorado were the only
institutions to be awarded a grant.
Tau Beta Pi
is the national engineering honor society. It was founded
in 1885 at Lehigh University by Dr. Edward H. William, Jr.,
because he wished to recognize students of distinguished
scholarship and exemplary character. The organization sponsors
projects which emphasize the Society's objectives--recognizing
outstanding engineering students and professionals and encouraging
the interests of engineers in non-technical fields.
The student chapter of the
Biomedical
Engineering Society introduces students to the profession
of biomedical engineering, and the social role and obligations
of the biomedical engineer. They provide an environment
for social interaction and exhange of ideas between all
levels of undergraduate students, graduate students, and
faculty.
