Things to Do When You’re a Teleworking Aerospace Engineer or Aerospace Engineering Student
Many aerospace organizations are having their employees work from home to mitigate exposure to the coronavirus and keep communities, especially the most vulnerable members, safe and healthy. AIAA applauds and supports this decision.
We encourage everyone to follow the coronavirus safety guidelines set out by the WHO and CDC.
We understand you still have work to do and may be looking for new ways to connect while you telecommute. We can help.

Former NASA Administrator
Charles F. Bolden, Jr., former NASA Administrator
Platform: Zoom Webinar
Please join us for a special event honoring all aerospace engineers across the globe graduating in 2020. We recognize that this is a difficult and confusing time to be completing this important stage in your educational journey. We are proud of your accomplishments and excited about how you will help shape the future of aerospace – from designing supersonic aircraft to building spacecraft that will take our civilization to Mars and beyond. We are honored to have Charlie Bolden, former NASA Administrator, NASA Astronaut, and fighter pilot, deliver a special commencement address and Q&A session to celebrate the class of 2020.
About Charlie Bolden
Charles F. Bolden Jr.,, a retired Major General in the U.S. Marine Corps, is a former Naval Aviator, astronaut, NASA Administrator, and dedicated public servant. Following a distinguished career in the United States Marine Corps that saw him fly over 100 combat missions in Vietnam between 1972–1973 and go on to serve as Commanding General of a Marine aircraft wing, Bolden went on to serve as a NASA astronaut where he flew on four space shuttle missions, logging over 680 hours in space. Missions he piloted include Columbia in 1986 (STS-61C) and Discovery in 1990 (STS-31), the mission that deployed the Hubble Space Telescope. In 2009, President Barack Obama nominated Bolden to become the 12th NASA Administrator, where he oversaw the transition of the space shuttle program into a new era of exploration focused on the International Space Station and advanced aeronautics technology development. Bolden, a graduate of the United States Naval Academy, earned his Master of Science in Systems Management from the University of Southern California.
