THE TEAM
THE COOLEST MEMBERS.
PERIOD.
THE LARGEST ENGINEERING CLUB ON CAMPUS
The YUAA is proud to represent a diverse group of just under 100 active members as a unique hybrid of students, friends, and co-workers. There is no common major as members converge upon not only all walks of STEM, but economics, humanities, and even the occasional American Studies major. With the YUAA’s first major foray beyond STEM with SPRC, our 2024 Space Policy program, this intersectional community of thinkers and doers is bound to grow.
COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY
The YUAA firmly believes that students of any background should be able to join and contribute however they see fit while knowing they belong. With regular workshops, programs to randomly match members for weekly lunches, and plans to reinvigorate aerospace conferences and initiation, the YUAA furthers itself as a cross-project community.
BEYOND YALE: FORTUNE 500 TO AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR
The YUAA’s broad offerings in aerospace offer a similarly broad preparation for intern, fellowship, and job opportunities. In 2023 alone, members worked spring, summer, and fall-term jobs, scored multiple national fellowships, and enrolled in world-class graduate programs. A Project Liquid member even propelled himself to American Ninja Warrior.
