Lab Tour Social
6:00 pm to 6:30 pm on October 7th, 2024, in the IEEE Lab (Boelter 2825)
Join us before Projects Info Session to learn all about the IEEE lab space and the resources available to YOU as an IEEE member! Meet us at the Bruin Bear statue at 6pm on Monday, October 7th and we'll walk you there, through the maze that is Boelter Hall :) We have spare parts, soldering stations, fancy tools, and even a place to do your homework, listen to music, and hang out with friends—what more could you possibly need?
Projects Info Session
6:30 pm to 8:00 pm on October 7th, 2024, in Mong Learning Center
Hello friends! You are invited to IEEE's Projects Info Session, a great way to find a project that's right for you! Join one of our many year-long projects to learn something new about ECE and make friends along the way. Whether it's learning a little about everything in OPS, racing a Micromouse through a maze or a Pocket Racer around a racetrack, diving into chip design with DAV, or building a radio from the ground up in WRAP, the possibilities are endless, and there's something here for everyone :) And if none of that feels right and you have another cool project in mind, join SPI and we'll give you the tools and resources to make that project a reality.
Find us at the Mong Learning Center on October 7th at 6:30 PM to learn more about each project and to meet this year's wonderful project leads. We hope to see you there!
