ABOUT UMBRA
The Undergraduate Missiles, Ballistics, and Rocketry Association (UMBRA) is a student-led organization at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona and a proud chapter of SEDS-USA. For over ten years, our club has been a vital part of the academic and professional lives of our members. From our year-long project teams to our semesterly workshops, UMBRA seeks to provide a unique undergraduate experience centered around the hands-on learning that Cal Poly Pomona was founded on. We help our 200+ members translate classroom concepts into skills they can apply to real engineering solutions.
