The Spaceport America Cup is the world’s largest IREC – Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition for student rocketry teams. With over 140 teams from colleges and universities in 32 countries, the competition continues to grow yearly. Students launch solid, liquid, and hybrid rockets to target altitudes of 10,000 and 30,000 feet.
Inter-Professional Projects Program (IPRO) is a project-based course that focus on leadership, creativity, teamwork, and project management.
ITR's IPRO offers students a wide range of hands-on projects from building rockets, filament winder to designing flight computers, 3D flight model.
