Alumni
Wildcats for Life Are Pushing the Limits
At every level of manufacturing, aeronautics and defense, AME alumni are pushing the limits of technology and human progress.
Maybe you built prototypes in the machine shop, or perhaps you met your future business partners at a robotics competition. You’re alumni now. Whether that means getting your startup off the ground or rising through the ranks of Raytheon, Qualcomm or SpaceX, you are crafting the future and helping the next generation of AME students do the same.
Thank you for all you do for U of A aerospace and mechanical engineering, for the world, and – someday – for planets near and far.
