Are you also tired of breadboards and messy jumper wires? No worries, we got you covered. Make sure to join our PCB designing workshop, where we will teach you how to design a functioning PCB board from scratch. Starting from the basics we will teach you how to draw a schematic diagram to generating a PCB board. We will teach you the DOs and DON'Ts of tracing your PCB board. After this workshop, you will be able to design any basic PCBs. Please make sure to download Eagle CAD here before the workshop!

Opportunities
UCLA Mobile App Survey
The Sustainagoals team on the USAC Facilities Commission is currently working to implement a sustainability section in the UCLA Mobile app. They created this survey to gain some feedback to see what resources should be added in the sustainability section to best benefit our fellow bruins! This survey should take about 2 minutes max, and would be so helpful in development! Thank you in advance! Survey here.
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.
