Be a part of UC Berkeley’s largest engineering club, meet new people, and work alongside like-minded individuals on very cool innovative projects. Apply your in-class knowledge to real-world problems and gain technical experience in various fields from manufacturing and simulations to design work.
Join a tight-knit community who have access to career opportunities such as info sessions and interviews with sponsors as well as the ability to get your resume seen by each of our sponsors each semester.
We have a form structed like an application, but we accept all members! That form is just to get to know you better. We only ask that you complete our onboarding process and get involved!
During our first semester on the team, you will design, build, and launch a rocket with our new members as part of our onboarding process! Along the way, you will attend workshops and worksessions where you learn all neccessary skills. Although we may move faster at times you will have every opportunity you need to reach out to members, mentors, and leadership for guidance every step of the way.
No experience with Rocketry is required to join. You only need to be able to use basic tools and have a willingness to learn
If you would like to come in with greater experience some skills that may be useful are basic coding knowledge, experience with tools, knowledge of CAD and Github
General members’ time commitment is broken down as follows:
- Specialty meetings at the start of the week for 2 hours
- GM + Project meetings for 2 hours again on Thursday
- Additional time is comprised of build days, usually on weekends, and individual work time
One can expect about 10-15 hours of time commitment in a given week. This increases during major project timeline dates with work on several days of the week leading up to a launch
This year we have 2 projects our: our solid demonstrator for our third liquid engine (LE3) flying in IREC 2025, and the liquid engine itself, LE3.
For more information on each of the projects visit the projects page
Joining at times other than the beginning of the school year is different. In that you have no intro project mentor and are given less direct guidance.
You should contact the specialty lead of the team you would like to join or an executive for the best guidance (can be done through leadership page). Please ensure that you show up to the various meeting and speak in person with leads for the best support as you transition onto the team.
Above all please keep in mind that while difficult as long as you are in constant communication and put in the effort to catch up you will have a full spot on the team.
