MEET THE TEAM

Welcome to the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute (CASI) Student Branch! We are a subset branch of the national organization. The club is an excellent opportunity for students to get their foot in the door for building a career in aerospace engineering. It is catered to provide self-development and connect members to space and aviation industries in Canada.
