  • Abstract
    The CSDC is a Canadian university competition to design and build a small satellite, called a “cubesat,” which will conduct a science mission. The CSDC simulates a real-world engineering project, requiring the multi-disciplinary teams to prepare mandatory documentation, and give a detailed design review in front of industry experts. The CSDC also includes mentored “hands-on” workshops, providing a valuable career-development educational experience.
