The '''Intercollegiate Rocketry Engineering Competition (IREC)''' is hosted annually in June by the Experimental Sounding Rocket Association (ESRA) at Spaceport America in New Mexico. The competition requirements are to build a rocket with solid, hybrid, or liquid propulsion capable of delivering an 8.8 pound payload to either 10,000 or 30,000 feet. The most recent team, [[IREC 2018]], was the second SSI team to participate in the competition, and won second place in the 30k commercial off-the-shelf motor category.

= Overview =

The competition is split into six different categories across the two altitude targets and three motor types: commercial off-the-shelf solid motors (COTS), student researched and developed solid motors (SRAD), and student researched and developed hybrid or liquid motors (hybrid/liquid). Teams are judged on their performance in a number of categories:

* Poster and podium presentations at a conference day
* Technical report on the project
* Quality and construction of the rocket
* Quantity of student researched and developed components
* Flight performance and closeness to the altitude target
* Payload design and originality
