MME Student Organizations
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
AIAA is the hub of all things aerospace at Miami, including design projects and competitions, workshops, professional events, tours, and Aerospace-related social events. We design, build, and fly radio-controlled aircraft and model rockets in the names of fun and learning. Anyone with the slightest interest in airplanes, rockets, or space travel can contact us at aiaa@MiamiOH.edu.

MME Student Leadership Council
SLC represents the broader spectrum of the Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Engineering Management student body. The purpose of the council is to provide a mechanism for students to give constructive feedback on their educational experience. This partnership helps the department to communicate closely with the students, to learn first hand about the students' needs and concerns and to gain invaluable insight into their perception of the program. SAC is the group responsible for planning Engineering Week activities as well as other social activities for MME majors.

Redhawk Racing | Baja
Miami University Baja fulfills the senior capstone requirement for engineering students. Each year seniors, with the assistance of several underclassmen, design and construct a rugged, off-road vehicle to compete in an international competition through the Society of Automotive Engineers. The competition features various dynamic events - traction, maneuverability, and suspension - as well as a four-hour endurance race. Miami enters the competition each year with the goal of achieving a top ten finish!
