Next Week’s Events
Fall ECE Townhall
6:00 to 8:00 pm on Nov 13th, 2023 in the Shannon and Maxwell Room
Want to change something about the EE curriculum at UCLA? Have feedback about an EE class that you have taken? Fill out the ECE Townhall Survey and come to the ECE Townhall! When: Monday of Week 7, November 13th, from 6-8pm Where: Shannon Room (Engineering IV - Room 54-134) Free pizza will be provided. Please fill out the anonymous survey here: https://forms.gle/smJQqu1aReJeDkNg7 The results of the survey will be shared with the EE department and guide discussion at the townhall.

PCB Design Workshop
6:30 to 8:30 pm on Nov 14th, 2023 in the Shannon Room
Utilizing Fusion 360, we will be covering the basics of PCB Design, ranging from schematics, to the three dimensional board design, and finishing touches to our final boards! For this workshop, please make sure to install Fusion 360 beforehand so that way we can cover as much as the PCB Design process as possible. As always no experience is required, all you need is your computer, mouse, and an open mind!
Projects
