SEDS

Our mission is to foster interest in the exploration and development of space through space-based engineering projects. These inclde bi-propellant liquid rocket engines, CubeSats, and high-altitude balloon payloads. Our diverse selection of projects caters to all interests of engineering from all backgrounds and allows our organization to promote space exploration on all fronts.

Concrete Canoe

Yes, you read that right. Students design, build and race a canoe made entirely of concrete!

The 2016 canoe, Whiskey River, was triumphant in the Mid Atlantic Region and competed at the National Concrete Canoe Competition in Texas. The 2015 canoe, Seabiscuit, won first place at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Competition and competed at the 2015 ASCE National Concrete Canoe Competition in South Carolina.

Gamera

Our mission is to produce a rotorcraft that flies by solar power alone and carries a person.

Recent Accomplishments:

• Completed a successful flight test this past summer!
• Created an interactive controller for the craft.
• Designed and tested a small model of the rotorcraft.
