QSET is a group of students at Queen's University who share a desire to explore and compete in the world of Space Science and Space Technology. Our goal as the QSET is to provide an environment where students can develop industry transferrable skills through hands on experience. From mechanical and electrical, to chemical and financial, the competitions that QSET participates in offer a wide range of challenges. Operating as an independently run team offers members the flexibility and freedom required to successfully plan, research, and implement solutions to open ended design problems. Through the conference and other events, members can connect with representatives from industry.
