Hi. So this post is a follow up from the last post in which I asked how can I, as a petro eng undergrad student can make the jump to rocketry related jobs such as designing engines etcetera.
After reading the opinions of others. I'm planning to start a rocket club at my uni. That is because the country I stay in (Malaysia) has only one dedicated rocketry club from my knowledge and that was established back in 2009 and is just starting to get active. Name is the "Kedah rocketry chapter". Besides this, it's an awesome opportunity for me to not only develop my "how-to" skills related to rocketry but it will also improve my leadership skills and other non-related rocketry skills such as Solidworks, Arduino etcetera. Also btw, in Malaysia, pyrotechnics are banned so I will be doing water rocket related stuff. And interestingly enough, no uni has a rocket club which is quite surprising tbh.
Below I have listed the pros and cons of my decision:
Pros:
1 - Leadership
2 - Able to learn rocket math and rocket related software and skills.
3 - Improve the impressions about rocketry in my country
4 - Strengthen other engineering fields in my uni by the creation of rocket club as it would involve help from telecommunication, mechatronics, electronic etcetera.
Cons:
1 - Challenge in managing studies with the rocket club stuff (but when there is a will, there should be a way).
2 - Tight daily schedule. One thing missed. The whole thing in the air lol
These are all the pros and cons that I could think of now, you guys can let me know perhaps more about pros and especially cons when starting one from your experience or your friends experience.
My main reason for starting one is to hit multiple targets at once such as leadership skills, communication skills, rocketry related skills etcetera.
What do you guys think about my decision?
