What we do
What we do
BAPS partners with organizations across the UVA community to solve real problems — often involving a technical component like a spreadsheet system or software tool.
With around 450 members, mostly systems engineering majors (though any major is welcome), BAPS also gives 1st-years early exposure to systems engineering with mentorship from upperclassmen.
