“Engineering is all about the big picture!” ???? Our very own Dr. Julio César Benavides led our AIAA special projects teams through an engaging lecture on systems engineering, emphasizing the importance of thinking holistically in aerospace design. Fridays are for sharpening our skills, and this session was a masterclass in problem-solving and innovation! Huge thanks to Dr. Benavides for his time and expertise. We can’t wait to apply these insights to our projects! #AIAA #SystemsEngineering #AerospaceInnovation #FutureEngineers #UTA
