About Us
Hello! Case Liquid Propulsion Team is a 20+ student organization interested in making some controlled fire. Below, you can find more information on our team's goals and mission.
Team Goals and Future
The Case Liquid Propulsion Team is developing various liquid rocket engine systems, including but not limited to test equipment, engine components, data acquisition systems, and control algorithms. The team plans to use these systems to compete in various college-level competitions. While pursuing these competitions, the team will provide hands-on skills in fluid systems design, structural design, and more that cannot be learned in the classroom.
Pursuit of Knowledge
and Inclusivity
The Case Liquid Propulsion team was founded on equipping the Case student population with the knowledge required to work in the field of rocket engine systems. As part of this mission, the club holds constant opportunities for students to learn outside of the classroom. Even though fluid mechanics is not taken until the students' junior year of college, the team provides all the required resources to quickly get all active members up to speed. The team is open to all prospective members, no matter their previous experience levels.
Safety
The Case Liquid Propulsion team understands that it is dealing with dangerous high-pressure systems. Our number one priority is to develop safe engine systems that will not place the student body in harm's way. When designed, our systems go through rigorous questioning and design reviews from Case Western faculty and CLPT members to ensure they follow all applicable state, federal, and team requirements and standards.
