AIAA Technical Committees (TCs) bring together experts in their fields and given them the opportunity to exchange knowledge and get to know their colleagues from around the globe. These committees participate in numerous activities: they develop and administer over 20 technical conferences each year; conduct professional development courses, produce books, and work with K-12 students to promote an interest in engineering education. And that’s just the start. The TCs also honor technical leadership through Technical and Best Paper awards; serve as journal and book reviewers; formulate technology assessment packages for the non-technical public, and even develop and judge college student design contests.
