The Clemson University Rocket Engineering team, also known as CURE, is the primary source of aerospace involvement and education at Clemson University, as there is no formal discipline within aerospace. The CURE mission is to introduce the aerospace industry to Clemson University for all demographics, develop future leaders worldwide, and research cutting-edge technology.
Our team is divided into the Administrative, Engineering, and Financial divisions. The delegation of these three divisions allows each team to focus directly on their role, leading to more efficient and productive work.

The Engineering Division oversees all design, simulation, and manufacturing of the rocket and all electrical components. The Chief Engineers of Electrical and Mechanical Systems oversee the technical aspects. The division is also divided into the Competition Subteams and Research Project teams. Competition teams prepare a vehicle every year for competition, implementing projects from the Research teams as they are tested and validated. The Directors of Competition and Research are in charge of project management for each side.
The Administrative Division is led by the Vice President and oversees onboarding, certifications, and all safety precautions.
The Financial Division oversees all budgeting, sponsorships, social media, and procurement for the team and is led by the Treasurer.
Upper Leadership is led by the President and encompasses the Vice President, the Directors of Finance, Competition, and Research, and the Chief Engineers. These members are responsible for leading the organization.
