Who we are

Design Engineering is a discipline that creates and transforms ideas and concepts into a product definition that satisfies customer requirements. The role of the design engineer is the creation, synthesis, iteration, and presentation of design solutions. The design engineer coordinates with engineering specialists ad integrates their inputs to produce the form, fit and function documentation to completely define the product.

Design Engineering Technical Committee
(DETC)

The DETC is part of AIAA's technical activities, and is part of theStructures, Design and Test grouping of Technical Comittees.
The DETC promotes the development and dissemination of information concerning design engineering to assist the design engineer in creating and definning practical aerospace products. Focus is on education, integration of design into the product development process, the Design Guide and the Aerospace Design Engineering Award.
The DETC functions through subcommittees:
