University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
R.A.M. Engineering is a student organization at UNC Chapel Hill for robotics, aeronautics, and manufacturing. We design and build aircraft, robots, and hardware with research labs, academic departments, and industry partners. Members gain hands-on project experience and a network of peers and professionals in the field.
Air & space systems
Engineers design, build, and fly aircraft, drones, and rockets. Past projects include a custom designed and fabricated F-Class solid rocket motor and an in-house developed flight controller for FPV drones.

Autonomous systems & mechatronics
Engineers develop machines that sense, plan, and act on software that for navigation, manipulation, and control that we develop ourselves. Current projects range from a quadraped robot to an autonomous system designed for the UNC Facilities Deptartment.

Silicon design & fabrication
Engineers here work on the forefront of semiconductors at Carolina. We design and fabricate hardware, covering circuit layout, process, packaging, and testing from concept to a finished chip. Current projects inlcude a 2-qubit quantum computer and a semiconductor fab.
