Rivian X UCLA
Join the Outreach Committee!
Join the Outreach Committee! The purpose of this committee is to give back to our local community by providing resources and support in the form of workshops, panels, and exhibitions. If you are interested in helping students from local high schools and community colleges learn technical ECE skills, or speaking to prospective students at panels, consider joining the ECE Outreach Committee!
The interest form can be found here.
We already have some workshops and exhibits lined up for the upcoming school year, and we're really excited to see how we can impact the community around us. This committee is low commitment (you won't get kicked out if you don't attend an event), so don't worry about not having enough time, we would be happy if you can help out whenever you can!
Please feel free to ask Ryan, our Outreach Coordinator, or email outreach@ieeebruins.com if you have any questions regarding the committee.
IEEE Alumni Mentorship Program
Applications are open until Monday, November 7th at 11:59pm.
The Alumni Mentorship Program applications are now open to all IEEE members! This program aims to inspire, guide, and engage current IEEE members through the experienced guidance of IEEE alumni. Our mentors have a broad range of experiences in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science industries/education. You will be matched to a mentor who can best provide advice on what you need. Apply here now! If you are an alumni, you can apply to be a mentor or a guest panelist here and here!
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!
