  2. Agenda Reception IEEE Trivia A Word from the Library Faculty Speakers UCSD Student Branch Presentation Cake + Networking

  3. What is IEEE? World’s leading organization for the advancement of technology. Semiconductors and Nanotechnology Communications Computer Science Biomedical Engineering Optics Robotics

  4. Membership IEEE International IEEE UCSD Student Branch • Join online, get a member number • Huge Network • IEEE Xplore • Jobs, internships, scholarships • Join IEEE international • Officers • Projects • Committees • Events Your membership in IEEE makes UCSD Student Branch possible!

  5. Levels of Involvement

  6. Projects AUVSI Micromouse Natcar RoboMagellan

  7. Micromousethe maze race of the micromice • Miniature robot designed to find its way through an arbitrary maze • Competes with other micromice for the shortest time through the maze. Won last year. • Microcontrollers, robotics, C programming, maze-solving algorithms, neural networks, sensor networks, optics, circuit design, PCB design, servos, mechanical design, and more…

  8. AUVSI • Multidisciplinary project building an unmanned aerial system (UAS). • Competes against other teams in Maryland. Took 2nd for 2009 competition seeking aerospace, electrical/computer, and mechanical engineers, as well as computer science majors. Programming, circuit design, systems integration, airframe construction, optics, mechanical design and more...

  9. Natcar • Autonomous car that navigates a track as fast as possible using magnetic sensors • Competition: SoCalNatcar Analog circuit design, mechanical design, control systems, sensor design, and embedded system programming

  10. Robomagellan • Design and build autonomous robot to maneuver through obstacle-filled terrain using sensors, cameras, and GPS. • Similar to the DARPA sponsored Grand Challenge, smaller scale.

  11. Why join a project? • Develops your technical and professional skills • Real and practical applications of your curriculum • Team environment • Project experience = very appealing to recruiters • Grades get you an interview, projects get you a job • Experience not required, but genuine desire to learn is • Have fun! Show off what you have learned!

  12. Committees Outreach Technical

  13. Outreach Committee • Inspire the next generation of engineers to keep innovation alive! • Have an impact on the San Diego community. • Come join the committee, and volunteer at local schools and community events. • San Diego Science Festival • Enspire

  14. Technical Committee • Intro to Micro Controllers • Arduino USB: Wk 3 • PSOC: First Touch Wk 7 • Intro to Soldering: • Ornaments & Toys: Wk 8 • Technical Committee: • Plan Technical Events • First meeting on Friday @ 12 noon • Get Involved: • Sign-up sheets for Workshops & Technical Committee • Stop by and talk with an IEEE officer

  15. LED Pumpkin Contest October 29th 5:00 P.M. Warren Mall • Show off your artistic talent by carving pumkins! (3 members in each team) • This is how EE’s celebrate Halloween!! 

  20. Professional Development • Corporate Talks • Various info sessions and talks throughout the year • Make contacts, get informed and ask questions • Northrop Grumman – Next Thursday (10/15) • Department of Defense – Week 5 • State of the Industry - Hear the facts from a recruiter who is actively placing students and experienced engineers in the workplace – Fall • More coming!

  21. Department of Defense Info Session • Meet with an electronics engineer who has had experience in software/hardware development, network security and system administration • Find out about the various functions the DOD performs and where engineers fit in • The DOD is currently recruiting and wants to meet students • Great networking opportunity • Enjoy food and refreshments • Week 5

  22. Tech Talk Series Communication Systems Engineering The Communication Systems Center within Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems is responsible for the System Engineering of space and ground based communication systems. We would like to invite you to attend an informational session to learn about theroles and responsibilities of communication system engineers and some of the opportunities for this type of work. • Topics to be discussed: • What is Communication Systems Engineering? • What type of technology/programs do we work on? • How are your classes applicable to the work we do? Date: 10/15/2009 Time: 5:00-7:00pm Location: Henry Booker Conference room NPOESS AEHF JWST
