The 2018-2019 Citrus College Research in Science and Engineering (RISE) teams are: the
Rocket Owls and
Rocketry and Robotics teams.
Vision: Citrus Research in Science and Engineering (RISE) will work toward ensuring that all Citrus students who are interested and committed to enrich their education with team-based, year-long research projects culminating with intercollegiate competitions in STEM fields gain such experience. In addition, RISE will create opportunities for participant students to make their work public and to become active participants in increasing STEM awareness throughout the community by conducting presentations and facilitating hands-on workshops for K-8 students.
