Strategic Industries Society

Connecting students with the industries shaping the future.

SIS brings together students, professionals, and companies across aerospace and defense, advanced manufacturing, industrial AI, energy, infrastructure, supply chains, critical technologies, and related strategic industries.

Built Around Industries, Not Just Majors

Most student organizations are organized around an academic discipline. SIS is organized around the industries themselves. We bring together students from business, engineering, information systems, computer science, finance, operations, economics, entrepreneurship, public policy, and related fields who want to understand, work in, build, finance, or lead strategically important industries.
