Our Goal

The MIAE Student Executive Committee exists to put aerospace at the centre of student life at McGill. We create opportunities for students to explore the many corners of the field, gain hands-on industry experience, and build the professional networks that launch careers. By connecting motivated engineering students with leading aerospace companies, we help build lasting relationships between the Faculty of Engineering, industry researchers, and the professionals shaping the field.
