We are the USC Rocket Propulsion Laboratory, the first undergraduate rocketry group to send a rocket to space. We pride ourselves on designing and building almost every part of our rocket in-house. We also design and build necessary tooling when we’re able to, alleviating the need to purchase specific and expensive infrastructure. USCRPL exposes students to practical experience within a lab setting that is not taught in a classroom setting. Students involved in our projects have an opportunity to tailor their engineering skills before they enter the engineering workforce. USCRPL prepares its members very well for internships and employment due to extensive practical and hands-on experience.
