4) UWSTART

"The University of Waterloo Space Transport Advanced Research Team (UWSTART) is a large-scale, hands-on design project involving the design, building and operating of a Space Elevator as part of the Spaceward Foundation's Climber Competition. In this project, there are limitless possibilities from across the board, regardless of your field.  Subsystems include Laser Guidance and Tracking, Mechanical Structure design, Motor control, Power Management, Embedded Microprocessor Software Design, Wireless Communication and more."




6) Waterloo Rocketry Team

The Waterloo Rocketry Team (WRT) is a new engineering team that plans to enter the 2011 Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition held in Utah every year in June. It is the first time a team from the University of Waterloo has ever competed in any rocket competition, and we strive to achieve the same high performance that Waterloo teams are known for. The goal of the competition is to make a rocket with a 10lb payload and send it to an altitude of exactly 10,000ft. We will design, build, test, and launch the rocket ourselves, and we hope WRT will continue this tradition into future years
