Next Week’s Events
Projects Infosession
6:00 to 8:00 pm on Oct 9th, 2023 in Mong Auditorium + Breezeway in Eng VI
IEEE's Projects Infosession is a great way to find a project that's right for you! Join one of our year-long projects to learn something new and make friends along the way. You may find yourself using machine learning to race a Pocket Racer down the racetrack, mastering an Arduino to make iPods and tackle any project in the future, sending a Micromouse through a maze as fast as possible, communicate through waves across the room with WRAP, or designing a game with DAV – the possibilities are endless, and there's something here for everyone! And if none of that feels just right and you have a personal project in mind you'd like to do instead, join SPI to let us help you bring that project to life :)
Find us at the Mong Auditorium (in Engineering VI on the first floor) at 6PM to learn more about each project and to meet this year's wonderful project leads. We hope to see you there!
Basic Circuits Workshop
6:00 to 8:00pm on Oct 12th, 2023 in Franz Hall 1178
If you want to get started with electrical engineering, you should first learn a little bit about electricity! We will start from the beginning with how electricity works, basic rules of circuits, and the most common components. Whether resistors, transistors, or LEDs, the behavior of electronic components will be clarified as you work hands-on with partners to build and test simple circuits. This workshop is beginner-focused and open to all majors and skill levels, and we hope to see you there!

Member of the Week
Siddhant Gupta
Year and major: Senior, Computer Engineering
Involvement with IEEE: maybe a little too much... MM and DAV member, Workshops Manager, DAV Lead, GB Lead x2, President
Hobbies: Hiking, biking, technology (in general), videogaming, trying to get into reading again...
Favorite memory with IEEE: IDEAHACKS!! If you don't know what that is, look it up :)
Your most useless talent or fun fact: Talent: Affecting the vocabulary of those around me. Fact: I was a north-campus kid in high school
What you would be doing if time and money were not an issue: Travel! There's a lot of countries and cultures I'd like to spend a fair bit of time getting to know.
Piece of advice to our readers: It's okay to ask for help! Often times, we think that asking for help or asking questions inconveniences others or is a sign of weakness/skill issue but that's not the case. A huge life skill is just knowing when and who to go to when you're stuck on something and accepting that's okay. You'll find that people are more than happy to help out -- just make sure to pay it forward!
