FAQs

 

Where do you meet?

In person meetings are held in Forsyth 244 (The Lab). Most project meetings are currently remote, with limited lab meetings.

Do I need experience/to be an engineer/any prereqs to join AeroNU?

Nope! We welcome anyone who’s interested to come check us out. Most of us started with no prior experience, and we’re happy to pass on what we’ve learned. If you’re interested and willing to learn, we’ll get you up to speed!

What projects are you running right now?

Our current projects are NUAV, Project Redshift, Fixed Wing, and Introduction to Rocketry. NUAV focuses on R&D of UAVs and quad racing. Project Redshift is focused rocketry, specifically a liquid-powered rocket. Fixed Wing focuses on fixed wing RC planes. Introduction to Rocketry offers a structured program teaching the basics of different aspects of rocketry. Check out the Project pages to learn more about each of these awesome projects!

How do I join?

You can join any project (except Intro to Rocketry) at any time. Join our Discord server and look around a bit. If you know which project you want to join, you can reach out to the lead(s), and they’ll help you find a place. If you’re not sure, or don’t know who to reach out to, you can always use the Contact Us form at the bottom of the homepage. We’ll get back to you quickly!

How do I join Intro to Rocketry?

Intro is structured to be more class-like than the other projects. (Don’t worry, it’s not just another lecture class.) This means that, unlike the other projects, you can’t join partway through the semester. Intro sign-ups are sent out at the start of the semester, and operate on a first-come, first-serve basis.

I missed Intro Sign-ups. What now?

You can absolutely still join AeroNU! Intro is not a pre-req for joining any other project. We will make sure you get up to speed no matter which project you join. And if you’re still interested in getting a more structured background, all the Intro presentations are recorded and posted on our Youtube channel.
