THE TEAM

THE COOLEST MEMBERS.

PERIOD.

THE LARGEST ENGINEERING CLUB ON CAMPUS

The YUAA is proud to represent a diverse group of just over 120 active members as a unique hybrid of students, friends, and co-workers. Members converge upon not only all walks of STEM but economics, humanities, and more.

COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY

The YUAA believes in enabling students of any background to join and contribute where they see fit. With regular workshops, career-building opportunities, and social events, 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 internship, 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.
