Wharton Undergraduate Aerospace Club (WUAC) serves to explore business principles via the aerospace and defense domain. Our primary prerogative is to open the highly technical industry of aerospace to non-engineering majors. We host weekly case explorations to expand our understanding of the industry and push thought forward. Our largest event is the Wharton Aerospace Conference bringing together 250 top aerospace executives on Penn’s campus in March. Companies in attendance include Anduril, Shield AI, Boeing, Blackrock, Accenture, Moelis, Deloitte, Lockheed, Northrop, and many many more. Joining grants you access to likeminded and driven individuals looking to make tangible differences in this world.

Structure:
WUAC is centralized around our weekly meetings. Beyond that we have many other opportunities of enrichment in self-motivated divisions such as Consulting Subteam, corporate outreach, NASA Blue Skies Competition and NASA T2U. We also encourage team formation in aerospace and defense oriented competitions through NASA and other A&D companies.
How to Join:
WUAC does not distinguish in the application phase. Apply through our PennClubs application in the fall or spring and demonstrate your interest. If you’re interested in the A&D industry and are committed to expanding your purview then it should be a natural fit. Do not be concerned about prior experience, we look for motivation and passion.
