Calling all ECE students! Looking for a job or internship for next summer? Come speak to representatives from Intel in the Engineering 6 Lobby and Patio anytime between 11AM to 4PM on October 4th!!
Basic Circuits Workshop
6:30 pm to 8:00 pm on October 6th, 2022 in the Shannon Room in Engineering IV
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! RSVP here!
IEEE Boba Social
TIME CHANGE: 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm on October 7th, 2022 in the IEEE Lab
Come meet the officers & other members in the club and get to know the IEEE lab! Of course, there'll be boba involved!
Projects
None this week!
Opportunities
Urgent Opening for a Raspberry Pi Internship @Traction Labs LLC
We need a person with experience using Raspberry Pis and similar devices as well as C++ and familiarity with java and understanding of python. Experience or understanding of AWS cloud with lambda functions is a plus.
Tasks may include upgrading the pi OS and possibly designing new features such as adding a Wi-Fi module or cellular boards onto the pi.
Ideally, we are looking for a student due to graduate in the next term or year; we are also open to international students - most, if not all of the work can be done remotely. We would want the hired intern to start as early as possible, preferably starting September.
Please contact Ravindra Kondagunta (Ravi) at ravi@traction-labs.com for more information & any questions. Thank you!
Thank you very much!
