Aspiring aerospace industry professionals, the "Meet the Employers" event AeroTech® Americas offers students, young professionals or any attendee the opportunity to meet professionals from corporations and government agencies shaping what’s next in aerospace.
Bring your resume to this casual opportunity to interact with organizations with employment and internship opportunities for you. Participating companies and agencies will discuss their organizations—their place in the aerospace ecosystem—and an overview of the opportunities available with time for follow-on discussions with attendees. As a participant, you’ll switch stations every ten minutes to meet new experts and companies.
Participating Companies:
Aurora Flight Sciences
The Boeing Company
dSpace
Gulfstream Aerospace Corp.
Lockheed Martin
Northrop Grumman
Roush and Yates Racing Engines

Students are invited to submit an abstract for a poster to be displayed at AeroTech® Americas. Abstract submissions will be evaluated, and authors will be notified in advance of the event. For those accepted, individuals will receive an official letter to attend AeroTech (travel expenses are not included).
Posters will be displayed throughout the event. A diverse panel of individuals from OEMs, suppliers, and government will be on site to review and provide feedback on your display. SAE will provide an easel, 22- x 28-in foam core board, and adhesive.

The challenges associated with using composites as a replacement for aluminum reside primarily in the complex manufacturing processes and technologies for fabricating composite parts. The high cost of composites material and its manufacturing complexity have been inhibitors to the wide transfer of this technology to the non-aerospace market. The search for solutions to high manufacturing costs and efficient manufacturing processes have resulted in intense research by government, aerospace industry companies, and space agencies worldwide. This workshop will introduce participants to composites technologies that have applications beyond aerospace, including such markets as trucks, automobiles, and wind turbines. The instructor will define, illustrate, and describe the innovative manufacturing processes and technologies that have been used to solve the “composite challenge” for aerospace and space vehicles. The information presented in this seminar, derived from the successful application and demonstration of these technologies and processes on flight hardware, will serve to provide solutions for the manufacturing processes and technology challenges that have slowed the migration of this technology beyond the aerospace and space industries.
