UTS Rocketry Team explained
express your interest
The UTS Rocketry Team was founded mid-way through 2017 in an effort to challenge the status quo of engineering at the University of Technology Sydney. Challenging students to think outside the usual box of engineering, we aim to pioneer a different type of industry; the Space industry.
By doing so, we hope to bridge the gap between those students who never thought Space would be an achievable goal and industry professionals, giving them the best possible chance with competing university curriculum. With these opportunities, we encourage students to self-motivate, collaborate and ultimately learn about rocketry and what it has to offer in the engineering industry.
Some of the key areas of being part of the Rocketry Team are:
- Getting involved with the AURC rules and events to shape future education.
- Participate in the Australian Universities Rocket Competition AURC.
- Bridging the gap between UTS students and Australia’s growing aerospace industry.
