Feel free to contact us<\/a> if you have any other questions!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Absolutely! Our team is made of members with all levels and areas of expertise.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> If you don’t have an interest in the technical side of things, we always need members with experience in marketing, budgeting, sponsorship, occupational health and safety & logistics planning.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> Put simply, almost any area of study within the university has relevance to UQ Space!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Nope! We look for all types of engineers, as more than just mechanical and aerospace engineering is required.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> For example, we have the opportunity create our own electrical systems, flight computer and any automated systems, so electrical, computer, software and mechatronic engineering students are also a fundamental component of our team.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> Our payloads also create an opportunity for science students, and future research is always possible; bring us your ideas!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t We pride ourselves in being a diverse team that strives for inclusivity, engagement and innovation.<\/p> UQ Space is the type of project where the more time you put in, the more you can gain from it. The team requires its members to attend weekly meetings and to complete allocated tasks. In short, we require commitment.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> We realise that team members may have other commitments, so we do our best to balance the demands of university and everyday life by working together to complete our projects efficiently.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> Time commitments also depend on your role and responsibilities within the team.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Currently, you can not get course credit for participating in UQ Space.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> UQ Space exists only as a society\/extra-curricular project to provide hands-on experience in your field of study.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> We are working towards creating the opportunity for members to complete a final year thesis or project (depending on your study area) as part of their involvement with UQ Space.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t As much as possible. The university encourages the team to produce as much as we can ourselves \u2013 we learn more this way, and also it tends to be cheaper. Obviously, some components are purchased and incorporated into our design, we start with COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) components and work towards creating our own. \u00a0The majority of the actual competing rocket is designed by the team and manufactured with help from the University\u2019s Makerspace. We go through design reviews and CAD (computer-aided-design) through to manufacturing and testing, and eventually competing (and winning!).<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1.
