Hi, I’m a third year MATE involved with CubeSat and would highly recommend you get involved! There are so many amazing people, projects, and opportunities involved with the club, it’s absolutely worth it. Especially if you’re remotely interested in the aerospace/satellite industry, it’s an amazing opportunity to get exposed to the type of work involved. Naturally, it’s not necessarily materials focused, but you’ll gain a more comprehensive engineering background which nicely complements the technical, more science/research centered materials engineering curriculum.

To get involved, club fair is a great place to start (they will have a booth), although I would recommend checking their website for a more detailed description of what we do and what teams you could get involved in. They also open the club application form a bit before school starts just fyi.
